Good-night, Lord. Today has been good, but busy. Had a good day at Wilson's Beach Church.
I thank You Lord that I am Your daughter. Help me to worship You. Help me to show You my love. Help me to celebrate being Your daughter every day - help me not to forget - not to take that fact for granted. I am glad that I have run to You; You have wiped my slate clean. Thank You, Lord. I don't regret it. I love You!
My prayer is that the youth of this island will come to love You too! Help them to see a difference in our lives - help me to show them love - help me to show Your love to them.
Help me to live a life of integrity - help me to be a woman of noble character.

January 1st, 2011!
Wow! Another year is over! So, did I achieve my goal(s) or New Years Resolutions, as many people call them, for last year? Am I a stronger person? Am I more like You, God? Am I becoming the woman You want me to be? Yes, I believe I am! Am I perfect? No! Has it been easy? No. Did I fail? Yes, many times! Am I going to try again this year? Yes! Why? Because I know that this is what You want from me.
Did I achieve my reading goals? No. I wanted to see how many times I could read the New Testament through in a year - I didn't even finish it once! Even though I still had my devotions most days, I did not achieve that goal. Am I going to try it again this year? I'm not sure yet. I also did not achieve my goal of of reading one non-fiction book a month. I am ashamed to say tat I only read 2 or 3 of that kind of book last year. I am in the midle of one right now. Am I going to strive to do this one again? Yes! I also wanted to rad 50 books last year - I only read 44 3/4. I am going to try to do that one again as well.
What about my writing goals? Did I achieve them! I almost achieved the one for my blog. I wanted to write at least two entries per month. I think there were only 2 months I did not achieve that goal. This year is going to be tougher. I would like to write at least once a week.
I am going to set a goal for having the first draft of my book done as well. I would like to have all 90 days no later than the end of August. Sooner would be better.
Lord, please help me achieve these goals - not for me - but for Your glory. I love You, Lord!
Please help me to pray for all of the youth on a regular basis.
Lord, help me to become closer to You each day. Please speak to me.
I love You Lord. Amen.
I am going to try something I have never done before - pray the Psalms.
Lord, help me to thrill on Your Word. Help me to chew on Scripture day and night. Help me to bear fruit. Help me not to be like the wicked and help me to follow the road You chart for me. Amen.

Lord, I am struggling again. Please help me! I know I failed miserably today and I am sorry.
Help me to focus on the positive things in my life. If I do this each day, maybe the negative won't bother me as much. It's worked before; Lord, let it happen again.
I love You, Lord. Lift me up.

"Lord, I choose to focus on the positive, especially the truth of God's Word; therefore my life is filled with positive outcomes."
This is my third time going through this book "Becoming The Woman God Wants Me To Be". Each time I have done this book, I have felt like my life was off kilter and it needed to be put back on an even keel. The first time my life was changed and I pray that it will have that affect again.
Lord, I pray that I will learn to focus on the positive - not only in parts of my life, but in all areas. Some areas of my life I find it easier to do that in than others. Please help me learn to focus on the positive in a new area this time - one that I have a hard time doing it in.
Lord, help me to either take action to change the situation or to have enough faith to accept the things that cannot be changed.

Lord, please help me live in such a way that You "have full confidence in me". I know that I will fail because I am human and not perfect yet...however, I want to strive toward that goal. I believe that if I continue to become the woman You want me to be, then You will be able to put more confidence in me. Lord, I ask that You will help me to continue to strive for this. Help me to bring You "good, not harm, all the days of my life".

I must admit Lord that I am confused by my husband's decision to put getting the job at the nursing home ahead of getting the Directorship of the Camp. I asked him what if they say yes at the camp and he said, "I think I can make more money at the Nursing Home than at the camp." That has never been our focus before and I told him that. I don't know who has their priorities mixed up, him or me. It seems to me like he has lost his faith since coming here. I don't understand! Lord, help me to know what to do. If it is me that is wrong, please change my heart.
Thank You Lord for all of the money that has been given to us recently. It's amazing to me how You keep providing for us, and I truly am thankful. Please help me to continue and help my husband's faith to grow.
Lord, please help me to keep doing this every day.
I am glad that You are called my husband in Scripture. Lord, help me to be more concerned with pleasing You, my Heavenly Husband. In pleasing You, my earthly husband should be pleased too. If he is not, then help me to be content with Your appreciation only.
God, I love You. Change me into the woman You want me to be.
Amen!

Lord, I need to go through the book "Becoming The Woman God Wants Me To Be" again. So, I am starting it today. I am losing my confidence again. I know You love me Lord. Help me to lean on You for that love. Help me to show that love to everyone I meet, especially those who I find it hard to show that love to.
Interesting that as I write this that the song "Love's Not A Feeling" by Steve Camp is playing on my itunes. I know that, but sometimes it's hard to remember that - especially when some people talk down to me and make me feel stupid. Lord, help me not to let it bother me. Let me go to You for my confidence because I know people will always let me down, but You won't. I love You Lord. You are the only one I should be trying to please. Help me to remember that if I live my life the way You want me to, it doesn't matter what others think. I know I fail too; Lord help me to come to You often to talk to You about these feelings. I am still striving to become the woman You want me to be. I know I have a long way to go; I know that I fail often and I know that some people don't think I am changing or don't want to change, but I do and I believe that I have changed in the past year. Probably not as much as I should have, but I have changed. Thank You Lord that You love me enough to forgive me every time I ask.
Lord, I have to be honest as I read Day 1 in the book today. I find myself very critical and cynical. Please forgive me Lord. You changed me the first time I went through this book. Please change me again. It's time to start fresh. Please change my attitude.
I love you, Lord. Amen.
