Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, you blessed me so richly this weekend – and during a time when I was tired and overwhelmed with all of the stuff I had to do – you reminded me that you are still on the throne. Just that phrase alone was enough to change my perception of my day.
Thank you for bringing my best friend to Washington this weekend – thank you for a time of sharing and hopefully I was able to be a listening ear. I’m so pleased that you are bringing her into ministry and that she is really feeling called to her church even though there are obstacles to overcome. But mostly, I thank you for putting her in my life long before I ever knew I would need her so much. You are amazing God.
Lord, thank you for my perfect partner, my wonderful husband. I am so grateful to you for bringing him to me, for blessing our home with him and our girls – my family is so good and doing so well. Help me to be the right kind of wife and mother.
Lord, I have been having troubles in my thought life – doubting our move, having hurt feelings over the way some things were handled with friends, and feeling like a bad friend when it comes to a certain person in my life who is in need. Lord, I know you have a plan for me. I know you are watching over me and still teaching me the type of person I need to be. Help me not to judge, and help me to understand and forgive.
You are an awesome God. Thank you for loving us so much….In Jesus Name….Amen
Exhausted….

This was a very hectic weekend, my best friend came to visit – she moved away about 2 years ago and I have missed her terribly. I love her so much and just wanted to be able to spend a lot of time with her.
We had some very wonderful talks, had a girls’ night out with other friends, visited with others including a sick friend with a baby that we ended up giving a bath to – a totally fun blast from the past, I haven’t bathed an infant in about 11 years!
But through all of that I think I got 5 hours of sleep all weekend….and I’m WORN OUT!
I tried to call in to work today but we had interviews for my replacement at work and I had to be there….and it was a long process and will continue through next week probably. But today when I got home I fell asleep around 6 and LOVED IT. I plan on catching a few more Z’s later. I definitely can’t hang out sleep deprived like I used to.
