The Next Chapter
As you know I often pray throughout the day, and moments ago I was reminded that it is in God's time.... Even when we struggle God is healing and guiding us....Jesus said "do not fear, only believe" Mark 5:36
Dear Lord help me to remember to thank you and praise you. And to wait patiently for you...... Amen

Two weeks in..... We are great, but the reality of chaos and a ready made family is a jagged little pill.
Prayers for our journey. Prayers for direction and occupation.
Thought for today:
Abundant life begins when we commit ourselves to following Christ.
Dear Lord, help me admit that I need you in every step.....in Jesus' name.. Amen

No sleep, kids in my bed......thoughts in my head.......
I get to work and I can't shake the ADHD / Wayne situation. While opening my laptop bag I find a current upper room.... Yesterday when this started I was feeling overwhelmed and lost in the despair. Back to the Upper Room.... Yesterday's message was Jeremiah 29:11 referring to a story about divorce, today's message is Colossians 3:3 referring to a story about despair! How he meets us were we are and how he holds us and sends people in to help us.
I am so blessed to have Michael, Jamie, Stan, and countless others for the moments and advice!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you declares the lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future.

Let go Let God, Michael singing is my theme song today. Struggling with my decision to put Jack on medicine for his ADHD. Fighting with Wayne about it. So not fun. Part time Dad spending my money and judging me for feeding the kids junk food! I am really upset.
I need to let it go....
Let God take it from me. Praying for peace to sleep.

Judgement of others is so heavy. I pray for this burden to be lifted. I know some of my choices are selfish and of the flesh. It is where I am and frankly where I want to be.
Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". John 8:7
it reminds me that first we are all sinners, and second we cannot judge others without first looking at ourselves.
Love the lord our god with all my heart, all my mind and all my strength!0

God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose.~ Romans 8:28, NLT
Looking toward the future I sometimes forget that God does have a purpose in my life. When I try to control every minute of every day, it begins to spin out of control. Even in my sleep I try and control, my dreams. I just recently realized I don't like to dream. Maybe because I cannot control what is happening, and it is not always pleasant. For as long as I can remember, I never remember dreaming, until I started taking some whole food supplements, and getting better sleep, now I remember dreaming, I don't usually remember my dreams in detail, but I do remember dreaming. It is strange. And I don't like it. It is possible that God is using my dreams for me to work through something I need to process??.....or not
I love thinking about my future, especially recently. I am blessed to have someone to care about, whom I want to spend many future moments with.....but this too is a lesson in patience and strength for God's purpose. And trust is his will and way.
I pray for strength and patience.
Dear Lord, when fears surface, we know you are by our side and that we can confide in you. Thank you. As Jesus taught us, we pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.”* Amen.
