Ladies I have just been plain weary and exhausted this week. I have had a sinus issue since last Saturday and to be quite frank it is affecting my attitude. I am a little less than engaged with God right at the moment. It's getting a little better and that is due in part because He made me straighten up. He tugged on me a lot at church on Saturday. I really didn't want to go to our Team Vine meeting. I had to go alone because the hubby was working and quite frankly my attitude stunk. Let's just say by sheer force of will I went and God got creative in the ways He made me stay. But that is good for another post.
I still need lots of prayer it seems. Pray that I feel better for one and I am sure that will help tremendously. Also, right now I am praying my husband is able to find a job God wants him in. He is so miserable right now and during the summer he works some 12 hr days and sometimes six days a week. Right now my prayers requests are a little selfish due to lack of focus. I get so caught up in the busy-ness of life.
That being said I have decided to start a prayer journal. I have learned that posting on Prayer Monday makes me sit down and focus more and be more intentional. So I am going to start a prayer journal that I plan on doing daily. The reality of that is it may happen 3-4 times a week but I am going to call that successful!
Ladies thank you so much for your prayers. I am going to do like Crystal suggested and praise God more. I think there are times that if we praise Him even when we don't feel like it that it will be uplifting to our moods.
Armanda, I know exactly what you are talking about with the attitude. That was me last week too! I am praying that God will continue to set our feet and our attitudes on the path He would have for us to go!
ReplyDeleteArmanda,
ReplyDeleteI've had a prayer journal ever since you bought me one in 2000. Crazy, right? It keeps me focused on my prayers instead of my "oh, look...something shiny" problem.
At any rate, I know God will meet you, because He is totally meeting me. I'm praying for your heart, girl. I know God can pull you to Himself. :)
I think I need to pick my prayer journal back up...I still journal, but it's turned into something else. I think it's more effective as just a prayer journal.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying that God will continue to pursue you even when you're trying to run away. ;-)
Thank you ladies! Your prayers mean so much to me.
ReplyDeleteCrystal that is crazy! I should have kept one up all that time too.
