Thank you for the beautiful people that you've placed in my path, in my life and in my heart. All of these amazing Spirits are because I surrendered to you. I had no idea how much love my heart could hold or receive and I am grateful and exhausted beyond words. Lol
Amazing and yummy fellowship yesterday with Chrissy, Dawn, Sarah, Jessie, Natalie, Angie, Zared, Zainah, and Scott. And thanks for the provisions to have pizza and Sweet Frog :-)
At the conclusion, I was oh so tired....but it was oh so worth it. My belly was full as well as my heart! A special thank you for the LOVE the kids showed me as if it hadn't been well over a year since we last hugged and laughed.
ANOTHER Thank You for this past Wednesday when I got to see Jackie, Lisa and the girls. It was a gorgeous day and we delighted in a yummy breakfast at the Cracker Barrell. We sat in the rocking chairs and talked and laughed. It is indeed one of my favorites places to have pancakes. It also reminds me of the sweet fellowship that I've had with my daddy and someone else who will remain nameless :-)
Back to the girls. It was so wonderful to see, hug and laugh with Jackie and Lisa. I miss them so much and I wish that we could meet regularly and worship you and encourage one another. Life, responsibilities and various others "things" tend to get in the path of what we truly desire. I am praying in this upcoming season of my life that you and I can create a balance. I've decided to pass on the summer bible study series and I am planning to take a break from my small group when we resume this coming fall. Mrs. Diana is planning to study Thessalonians this September with our Thursday night Women's group and I want to give it my full time and attention. I am very disappointed in myself that I have some leftover homework from our Study on Revelations and our study with Pastor Wagner on God Quest. I don't want to go into another study where the work was not 100% complete. Help me to let go of the things that are pulling me and also the desire to do so much and meet so many needs. My Lord, you gave me this big heart and I know that you desire quiet time with me more than you would have me do all "those other things." I also want to be a servant who knows your voice and not too busy to hear what it is "specifically" that you're requiring of me. Father, I'm trusting you to help hold me accountable for many, many things, but the one thing I long to do is obey your will.
Additional Prayers: Eddie, Jackie, Kristy, Dawn and Che', David's future plans, Medical needs for the Whitley's, Recent plane crash, Recent mass shooting, Health concerns and healing for Beth, Lesley, Kathy, Angie, Yvonne, Phyllis, Mom, Pochie, Kim, Daren, David, Carol, Jane, Robin and her husband and many others who I cannot remember and those who have yet to ask for prayer. Father, you know our needs before we ask and the number is great...BUT You are a GREAT GOD! Thanking you in advance for hearing, caring and be You. So, so grateful that I don't have to be.
I love you!
Eternally yours
