My God, My Redeemer, My Healer, My Savior,
Thank you for this week, thank you for the sunshine today. The snow has been very dreadful, and the sunshine sure brightened my day. I’m sorry for my attitude lately. I’ve been so selfish. You are doing some mighty things, and sometimes I’m too blind to see them because I’m being so selfish. Help me to be more selfless. Teach me to look beyond myself to You. I’ve been down lately, and I dont exactly know why. But I do know when my focus isnt You, and im not digging into the Word on a daily basis I get down. Oddly, I praise You for this. It’s proof to me that You are You. You are mighty to save. You are more than enough for me…
Thank you for Emily, and the words she spoke to me today. They were so encouraging and uplifting, really made me feel good. Thank you for allowing that to happen. I know that through her I feel Your love. She’s such a great friend. It’s so good to have a friend who is spiritually on the same level as me. There to challenge, encourage, and love me. I pray for her, for her heart, as she is making some choices, and changes. I pray for her talk she is planning with Amanda. I pray they can be open and honest with each other.
I’m excited for this weekend, don’t have to work is always a nice thing, and maybe I will get to see Quinton. I really miss hanging out with him. I know, a week isn’t that long at all, my heart just longs for it sometimes. What’s going to happen when he goes away this summer? I can’t act like this. Why am I being so selfish? I have to keep my focus on You, and You alone, God. Help me to keep understanding that You are the only one that can fully statisfy me. I’m so excited for this summer, and the many things that he will experience and learn. I’m excited for myself, for the many things I will experience here in Louisville and learn. Help us to keep our number one focus on You, & You alone. I can’t wait to hear the many stories, and to just see a glimps of the things you are doing with the Crossings Ministry. I pray for strength on the hard days. I pray that he falls deeper and deeper in love with You. Help me to be patient, and understanding. I pray for the many staffer’s, you’ve hand picked each of them for a very specific reason. I pray for their hearts, as You prepare them for this summer, I also pray that they will come together as a family, and serve You. My heart, & my soul is going to miss Quinton a whole bunch this summer, but I’m completely excited for Your will to be done. Help me to stay positive, and to keep my eyes on You.
Love,
Rachael
