Longing for More

....and I do. Tim Keller says that when we long for more of Jesus, that means He is near. That is so comforting and encouraging.

Gary gave me good stuff yesterday. Please gift him and empower him to speak Your truth into my heart. Help me to remember his teaching of yesterday and to employ it. Not just to share it with Justine or to mouth it to someone else, but to USE it in my life. I caught myself trying to use it in the dark this morning, so I know you are in the midst of that whole process. I wouldn't be doing that on my own.

Please bless Rob in his life - bless his parenting and husbanding. And his soning. Please help me to mother and not "friend" or anything else. I want to live a life that honors you and blesses my kids.

Above all today, please help me to draw all my peace and comfort from you. Free me from the bondage of reading minds, as only you can do. Help me to ask the question and listen to the answer and NOT try to ascertain what people are thinking - but to live with what they tell me. Please help me to stop telling people what they should do. Especially Justine.

Please bless Justine in her life and with her pain....please give her one day's respite from the chronic pain, and Lord please help her to find a resolution to the pain in her body and her hands that has kept her from enjoying her life and now her grandbabies.

I love you; and want to and pray that I a live a life that honors you and brings glory to you and your kingdom.

In Your name I pray...
