I have such a big week coming my way – I just pray that I am able to make it through all that I have to do this week!!! Life has been pretty crazy, but whose isn’t, right?
It is midnight right now – much later than I am used to staying up!! I am watching Joel Osteen on television right now – he is speaking about how the wind is shifting, and God has a new direction coming for my life. He says that I will come into opportunity that will boggle my mind, I really hope that is true!! I am in need of some favor and increase! My plan is to stay in faith, and to keep my eyes on Him so that I don’t let my personal troubles, cause me to stop following His lead. The events of the last 15 years has molded me into who I have become, so I am thankful for that, but I have to stop carrying my baggage from my past into the future that God is going to use to lift me up!!
Ok, so you know that my mom died in 1999 of breast cancer. Well, I have always talked about doing something in remembrance and in honor of her life. She left 5 girls behind, which I am the oldest of, and I have decided that this year will be the year that I do one of the scariest things I have ever thought about doing, in honor of her. I have decided to walk the Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60 Mile Breast Cancer Walk!! EEK!! I have 35 weeks to prep for that walk, and at the size that I am, I am going to need EVERY day of training to get ready for that big weekend!!! 2 of my sister-in-laws have agreed to do the walk with me – that is just soooo AWESOME!!! This year really is the year of big change!!! I know that I am highly favored!! I know that God will bring people into my life to help me get to the right place at the right time. This is my decade of favor, this is my decade of dream being met, this is my decade to go above and beyond where I am at now.
“Arise, shine…for the glory of the Lord is upon you.”
-Isaiah 60:1
Thank you, Lord, for Joel Osteen, and for having me turn on the television to exactly the right channel, at exactly the right time, during my time of need. Help me stay focused on You and Your will for my life! I pray for J, I know that he is struggling, trying to find himself, and his happiness, but Lord, I pray that he not only finds himself, but he finds You first and foremost. Thank you for my support system, those women that make my life full, and rich – I know that I am blessed greatly!! Stay with me tonight, as I take myself to bed for a few hours of sleep before work in the morning, and help me wake with a smile on my face, joy in my heart, and a song of praise on my lips. I know that You have taken care of us in the past, You take care of us now, and I KNOW that You will continue to take care of us in the future. Thank you so much for that!!! I am extremely grateful to You! I love You so much, and no matter what happens, I love my husband too, even if it has to be from afar.
