My Lord,
Thank you for an awesome weekend. I had a wonderful, wonderful time spent in fellowship with many friends. By your grace, I am no longer the introverted caterpillar. Lol
(Though sometimes, I do miss her) Lol
Friday while at Sister's Corner, I met the most delightful Christian mother and daughter from North Dakota. Trish and Brittnee! They were showing me all the mountain photos on their cell phones that they took while standing on their front porch. Father, you gifted them with an amazing view, just as you did for me. I was touched beyond words when Trish said that she'd moved because she wanted her daughter to attend an affordable Christian School. And Lord, it's working because not only was her face shining and her eyes lit up as she shared her heart in wanting to become a missionary! HOW awesome are you?!?!?!?
Later that evening, I had a delightful time with Missy as we attacked the ginormous crab cakes at Edgewater seafood. SO yummy! So love girl time with her. Thank you that we are both in the "single season" patiently awaiting your instructions. And a special thank you for the song, Silence; titled and sung by Anthony Evans. It caused me to cry and pray and cry and praise! YOU Reign and I thank you for wanting the best for me.
Kenny texted and it was good to hear from him. Thank you for that.
Thank you for giving me a blissful Saturday to clean house, do some chores and laundry. Thank you for the sound of the waves in the background. Thank you for the juice that I fixed for breakfast. Still loving my juicer and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for leftovers....sometimes, they are just as good as the night before.
And for the grand finale' - Father, I had the most enchanted time with Kathy's friends from England. I got to sit down and spend some quality and intimate time with Trish, Anna, Peter and Gabe. Kathy, Pat and Carol came by as well. It was one the most amazing times that I've had since living in North Beach and it was and will be forever memorable. I just adored talking with them; hearing and sharing our stories. It's so very interesting to me that a large number of our population will never leave their neighborhood more less the country. And sweet, sweet Trish has invited me to come to England and stay in her guest bedroom. Now how many times will I get an invitation such as this?!?!?!!?
I will be praying and awaiting your response!
Sunday - This morning the service was so awesome. I started to stand up but knew that it would feel awkward and new that I would stand alone. But as I just typed that, I realize that I am never, ever alone! And my new #mantra - Enough Is Enough!
All that I have is all that I need and even when I feel lacking...I am not! You are there, always were and always will be!
Father, I had the most amazing lunch with Riva and it was so filled with your presence. I was asking you to reveal the reason why last Sunday's engagement was overlooked and you so did. When we seek you, you show up in unimaginable ways. I love you and I love that I had the ipad to see specifically what it was you wanted me to share with her. She is wise and gracious and I pray that you would hear my heart's prayer concerning her.
Prayers: Abby, Robin, Leonard, Darlene, Hosea, The Vayne family, Mr McDowell, Tom, Ms. Caine, Israel and Iraq.
There are also some prayers needed for our Women's Retreat. I have some more women that you've placed on my heart and I need your assistance in preparing their responses to be a "yes!"
Father, without me saying a word, YOU KNOW THE NEEDS!
Eternally yours!
