Today I am thankful for: church, Pastor Chuck B., being able to volunteer in 2nd grade at Crossroads, seeing my precious girl's sweet face as she napped today, playing Candyland with Darrin and Madi, snuggling with my sweet boy (& thrilled he still wants to!), fluffy pillows & fresh sheets, hearing Moo sing worship songs as she sat on the potty :o)
The Lord broke my heart today! I'm not exactly why, specifically; I think I was just hurting for humankind. I prayed last night for God to break my heart for the things that break His. Today in church I was just overwhelmed and overcome during worship and at times while Pastor Chuck spoke. All I can say is it was awesome. Not that it was fun but to know God was really working on my hear in some way...wow! I'm truly excited about the next 2 years at Crossroads. I've been praying for a revival and I feel like maybe this is the beginning of one.
I'm reading about Job. He was such a beloved man of God, and he lost everything! I pray that should God allow me to be in the same position that my faith would only increase--though I fervently pray I don't have to experience what Job did! Then I think of all the people in need out there in the world--especially innocent children! Like Job, I'm sure none of them did anything to deserve their current plight. But so many of them don't have even Job's faith to help give them peace and hope. I pray that God opens my eyes to a need that I can directly affect. I want my family to be one that prays and serves together. I long for my children to be aware of their amazing blessings and humble themselves before God and develop hearts that want to give and help. I know that passion needs to begin with me and Josh, though I think Josh may be the hardest one to bring around. I feel there's an area of need, locally, that we can help with. I trust the Lord to show us where in His time! I would also like to experience a global outreach once the kids are older.
Father, I feel You working! I feel like You're telling me it's not time yet for "great" things; first things first. I pray You help me get my own hear in order first--draw me deeper into a relationship with You where worshiping, reading, Your word, praying, and fasting are like taking a breath. Strengthen my ministry here at home! Make me into the wife and mother YOU want me to be! Let there be no doubt about this being a home that serves the Lord. Guide me in teaching my children in a way that is obedient to Your calling and pleasing to You. Father, I feel these are the areas of focus for me right now. Please show me the path! I pray for Your light and Your guidance as I do what is necessary to strengthen my home and provide a firm, spiritual foundation for my family. With that in place, I know we'll be ready to branch out and share Your love with the world! Thank You for Your many blessings!! Help us to be obedient and responsible stewards. Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, Lord! My heart overflows with love and joy! I praise You with all that I have and all that I am! In Jesus' precious name, Amen!
