My plate is full

Dear Lord, my plate is full. I need you to take a few things off. I'm cool with miracles and I think I need it. Amen.

Dear Lord,

Dear Lord,
It has been a very tough day for me. I feel lost, lonely, stressed, unhappy, and nobody is on my side. I keep looking for answers, solutions, peace, and good news. Today I found problems, anxiety, and bad news. Lord, I know you want me to be happy and I can't understand why I'm not. Please give me Your peace and good news. I really need something good to focus on. By the end of the day, I looked like an unhappy cactus but fortunately I was able to go home. Please send me some good news tomorrow. Amen.

Baseball Thursday

I may not be good on my diet today. I may not have someone to join me. I am at a baseball game at Redhawks stadium. I have a great seat and I'm partaking of dollar beer night. This is a great diversion to keep my mind off of lonely feelings. I won't be lonely long. I love to be busy too so this is my turn to do stuff and have fun. I won't let the time go to waste. I will do good!

Dear Lord, thank You for Your blessings. Amen.

Compliment

Tonight, my husband gave me a compliment and now I'm on cloud nine. I have a smile from ear to ear.

I always work hard to do my best. It feels so fantastic when I am recognized.

There is a lot going on in our lives right now and I can see a glimpse of God's hand guiding me to the resolution.  I need a few more miracles Lord but thank You for what You have given me today.

Amen.

Strengthens

Philipians 4:13 So if we can do all things through Christ, does that mean we should feel like we can? I keep trying to remember this verse but it hasn't brought me any comfort lately.

I am feeling crushed by embarrassment, bills, and my day to day life. If I can get through all this pain with Christ, why don't I feel better?

Dear Lord, please help me deal with the stresses around me and bring me some financial relief. Amen.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that today is Thursday and the day is almost over. I have been working so hard at work and at home. I am tired. My nutrition has been ok not counting the chips that I ate today.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life? That's been my problem this week. There's jobs, a condo in Denver, and my home in Oklahoma to worry about. Decisions will need to be made. Research needs to be completed. All at the same time, I am working so hard to get a decent commission at my job.

Dear Lord, Please help me deal with all of life's challenges. Amen.

Change is a slow process

Change is a slow and steady process, akin to the speed of a walking turtle. Change is slow and steady.

I keep hoping and expecting that suddenly things will change. Suddenly getting things done will be easy. Doing what I want to do instead of have to do can be a new reality. We are not there yet. Everyday I have a little hope that things will change. Its a very small tiny amount of hope. Sadly, I don't have enough hope to share. I go through rough patches where I can't even see the little hope that is there. The pressure of life gets to be too heavy.

Dear Lord, I am where I am supposed to be. Can you please make life a little easier? I need Your blessing to get a better paying job. On my own, nothing can be accomplished. Please help. Amen.

Clean out the closet

It's time to get clean. Time to empty the closet and prepare for winter. Clutter can cause stress and keep us from our best. Take what you don't need and donate it to someone who could use it. You can use freecycle or Goodwill.

Dear Lord, Thank You for Your wisdom to see what we don't need any longer. I pray my donations will help someone in need. Amen

Dear Lord

Dear Lord,

Thank You.

Amen.

Psalm 63:6 I lie awake thinking of You, meditating on You through the night. NIV

Thankful Thursday

Today’s rating is Positive.

I’m thankful for many things. The weekend is around the corner. The move is in two weeks. There are two sweet kitties that give me love and support. My husband is a strong supportive man. I have had good experiences and good friends from my job. I have learned so much about myself and how strong I am.

One of the biggest pieces to my life is Jesus. He saved my life and I am so thankful. I am undeserving as well but somehow God still loves and supports me. God is the reason I find strength to get through each day. Thank you Lord for sending your Son to save a worthless person like me. Amen! Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter!

Moving day decided

Today’s rating is Positive.

We found out about an apartment that will be ready for us in time and its decided that we will be moving into this home. Its exciting to have a definitive date. I am now praying for the tenant to be found for our existing home and I am praying that this move can be smooth. We have had a lot of moves and in our experience its harder and more expensive than planned. I have come to accept this as fact. On a good note, I packed one box today. Yay me!

Dear Lord, please help us find the right tenant, and find the right amount of cash to afford the move. Please provide me the right job so I can be helping with the expenses. Amen!
