YOUR will not mine!!!

LORD, this is what i want to do...YOUR will, not what i want to do but YOUR will...

this is such a very difficult concept for me right now in my life...i feel as though i am being torn in so many different directions and when i try to follow what i think is the LORD's will something happens only to let me know i was following what i wanted to do for HIM...

confusing...you betcha...

turn to the WORD, you will find your answers there...

pray for HIM to help you with discernment...

be still (hard for me to do) and let HIM speak to you...

slow down, so you have the energy and strength to do what HE is calling you to do...

run to HIM with every concern and worry that you have...HE is jealous for me...

LORD JESUS, hold me now and help me to hear your voice, fell your arms around me and feel your presence....

thank you JESUS

you know, it seems that every time i reach out i end up falling...

thank you JESUS for always being there to pick me up...

i want to be your hands and your feet, sometimes it is NOT easy...

please LORD give me the strength and the wisdom to minister to others...

please LORD allow me the confidence to trust in you and you only....help me to rely on you and not people...LORD you are a constant....you are a never-failing LORD and for the i am so very thankful...

please pray for my friend who has fallen, i have tried to pick her up and hand her her to you and yet LORD she has fought me all of the way....i need you LORD to touch her heart and pierce it in a way that only YOU can do....

LORD right now i am broken hearted at the thoughts of this young woman;s life without you....it scares me to know where she is going to end up without YOU...i am not going to to stop, for you taught me persistence and that i will carry through...

JESUS thank you for loving me so very much even though i am such a horrible sinner and do not deserve your unfailing love...thank you LORD for not giving up on me...

help me to continue to find my identity in you and through you...thank you JESUS...

Kahli's Junior Prom 2009

This past Saturday was Kahli's Junior Prom. She went with her boyfriend Chris and about 50 others friends. They had a really good time and YES I let her stay out until 7:00 in the morning.

Kahli is a very responsible young lady and she called and/or texted me from each stopping point of the evening. She even asked if I wanted to follow them to the restaurant and take pictures. I wanted to, but earlier in the day I threw my back out, so I could only go as far as the first stop.

The next morning Kahli had to work at church for the 9:15 service, which she did am excellent job of staying awake but unfortunately during the 11:15 worship service I found her doing the "head bob" once or twice.

We talked a lot about the prom and what everyone was doing and what she found to be acceptable and not acceptable and yes I am very proud of the beautiful young lady she has become. No matter what anybody tells me.....SHE IS AN AWESOME TEENAGER!

Thank you Lord for not allowing Kahli to be as bad as I was when I was her age...
