Feeling a Little ??
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 8:32AM Dear Sweet Friends in Blogland,
You will find this isn't a typical post for me, but I promised when I began this blog that I would always be truthful and transparent. So, I am doing just that.
I am writing late today, simply because before now I just didn't feel like writing. In fact, lately, I am struggling to pinpoint what I am feeling.
Maybe it is guilt over being selfish more than selfless.
Maybe it is fear about how our life is changing with Hubby starting his doctorate and the boys coming home for the summer.
Maybe it is sadness that BigGuy and Bird are growing up.
Maybe it is anger because their attitudes are growing up, too.
Maybe it is sweet joy over Bird asking me to pray for him before his preschool graduation.
Maybe it is happiness because we have made it through another school year healthy and well.
Maybe it is...
Either way dear friends, I am at a place today where feelings seem more like fact that the Truth. I am at a place where rather than writing, I need to be reading God's Truth, and basking in His faithfulness, mercy, and love. I am at a place where I need to enter my prayer closet and just pray.
I would love to pray for you and where you are today. Feel free to leave a comment, even anonymously, and I will add you to the requests and praises I am lifting up today!
Have a great day!

Hey sweet friend,
Ya know I think it's just the time of the year...we get used to the familarity...summer brings changes and new routines...I'm one of those "creature by habit's type people." I love routine, so now we're into a new stage. :) Each stage of our kid,s lives is good. They slip by tho, and with that a new age and new things to get used to. Just when we feel a bit settled, they grow a bit more and some challenges are gone, while new ones pop up! I've come to realize that this in itself brings us right where we need to be. Seeking God's wisdom to raise our boy's! Oh, how we need Him! I have to offer praises to Him, because when I remember to seek Him, He never fails me. When I go into the "worry" mode, He's right there. He's always wooing us back to Him. Finally, I think I'm getting it. I see how sweet He is to show me the way. I'm seeking His advice each morning. I can't do it on my own. My eyes can't be over them at times, like His are. What would we do without our Father?! Loving Him so much right now.
Lifting you up in prayer my dear friend!
Hugs, Lori - AZ
I need prayers for my husband & me. We have a new season of life coming upon us. I feel Satan is even working harder to hurt our marriage, as I get closer to God through this journey. I feel at peace as I focus on Jesus who will fight this battle for me.
IT"S SUMMER! Everyone needs a break, including you! Use deserve some time to fill your cup and God's word is the best thing to do it. He is faithful, he will lead you.
Go, relax, enjoy your boys, and their attitudes. I know someday, maybe very far down the road, we will miss them. Today was the first day of our break and it is amazing! Enjoy Hubby and being there for him as he starts his journey. Cannot wait to see you! By the way, would you share with me again your bible verse of the year? Praying for you...
