Still waiting

"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?...Come near to God and He will come near to you." 




"Come near to God and He will come near to you."

So here is my life right now. Lee goes to work, the girls go to school. I have no daily deadline, no income stream. I await Katherine's reply about my book proposal, six weeks now, or seven. Still nothing. I feel like I'm being lazy, taking advantage of Lee's tolerance. Mom asks if I've heard from Good Housekeeping lately. No.

But God is still there, and I know that life can turn on a dime. 

Lord, I pray that You would show me the way forward from here. I want to write a book that glorifies You. Will you make a way for me to do that? In the meantime, I think my next step is to just keep going on the book. Please make it clear to me if this is correct. It feels slightly selfish, and if it feels that way because it is, then please guide me where You want me.

I pray for Mom and Dad in New Jersey. I pray that I will be able to get a card out to Terri for her birthday! I pray for Mom and Dad's safety, and Your protection over them. 

I pray for Sara and Andy, that You would strengthen their marriage, and that Sara might get pregnant. I pray for them to come to know You.

I pray for Lee's health. I pray for the selection process of the new music minister. May the person You choose stand out boldly to Lee, and may Lee accept Your choice. I pray that this move will indeed relieve Lee of his burdens. Again, I pray for his health. You know how to turn it around.

I pray for Isabel and Lily. Please protect them and keep them safe, and keep me and Lee safe, so we're not taken from them. 

Protect my belief in You!

In Your son's name I pray,

Amen
