October 11, 2010

Ok Lord, I need to start writing regularly again. I miss it and I miss You, too. I know You are still there...I know You are protecting me...I know You are providing for me. I also know that it is me that hasn't been in contact with You as much as I should have been. I haven't been communicating with You like I should...I am sorry. Help me know how to balance my new life here, Lord. It's not the same...living in someone else's house...I feel guilty for wanting my alone time...I want to write...I yearn for it, Lord; because I know that this is what You want me to do. I need my own space, Lord. I don't have that here.

Speak to me again, Lord. I miss hearing from You. I feel stuck...just between You and I...I am still not 100% sure this was the right move. It has been so hard to move back here to the island. It may be different when I have my own place and can entertain.

I love You, Lord and I do trust You! What I don't trust is our decisions - whether we make the right ones or not. Lord, give me confidence, help me to heep trusting and give me wisdom. Amen.

Since I don't know where my other tablet that I do my thank diary in is, I am going to do it in this one tonight.

1. I thank You Lord for giving John 2 painting jobs so we can pay bills, etc. I know You are providing for us and I thank You for that. It makes me feel secure, loved and cared for that You provide for us like this.

2. I thank You for the beauty of the trees changing colors. I said the other day that I wished they were those colors all year long. But then, we would take them for granted. I love Your creativity. Thank You, Lord. May I not take Your beauty for granted.

3. I thank You for the gift of my sight. I love to look at the things You have made. I love to be able to see to read, bake, cross stitch and many other things. Thank You that I could watch my kids grow up and see their beauty first hand.

I love You, Lord!

Lord, help me find out who I am here on Campobello Island. The last year or so I found out who I was again. I had lost that. Lord, help me not to lose that again. Help me to find my "rhythm" here.

I love You, Lord. Help me not to only want to serve you when everything is going good. I know part of the Christian life is going through trials and tribulations. Help me to claim those promises too - not just the nice, comfortable promises in Your Word. Help me to "follow in Your steps" as it says in 1 Peter 2:21 (NIV). You suffered many trials and temptations and You left us an example to follow in how to handle them. Help me to follow Your example. Lord, I want to become more like You.

Thank You, Lord. Amen.
