Prayer Leave

I am writing with such a heavy heart right now. Over the last week, there have been some big family issues to arise. With my heart so heavy and burdened right now, I find it hard to think of much else but prayer. I feel God calling me to it right now. I am going to take a hopefully short leave from my blog to devote the time I usually blog to more prayer. I know that God can make all things work to his glory and I cling to that promise. If you would like to pray with me for my family, please pray for:

healing
wisdom
understanding
even tempers
guidance
forgiveness

The good news that through all this ugliness, I have felt God's guidance in a way I never have before. That is really neat. I have felt him holding my tongue and temper at bay, with the exception of one incidence (I am a hot head) and he gives me the words to say when needed, it is truly a miracle and so amazing to have the words to say when I have no idea, they just appear and flow off my tongue with nothing on my part. He is awesome! I know God is in control of this ugly situation and I will try and turn my trust over to him and rely on him in all things. I will pray that he helps me respond to the situation and person in a godly manner.

Psalm 69: 5-6
O God, it is You who knows my folly, and my wrongs are not hidden from You. May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

Oh, and for those of you so concerned, green smoothies will still be served daily at our house. Feel free to stop on by and have one!
