Tonight ... a prayer

This evening, Ryan and I attended our first Vertical Prayer meeting at our church. This was an answered prayer in itself ... us ... attending a prayer meeting together. We prayed for ourselves, for each other, for our families, for our church, for our community. We prayed as a group and we prayed individually. God was in our midst. I could feel His presence.

I'm excited about the new year. It's going to be different. How do I know? Because I desire to make some changes ... for the better. With God's help, anything is possible. And tonight, I will start with a prayer ...

Lord, help me to become a better wife, a better mom, a better friend. Mold and shape me to the person you've created me to become. May I always remember my Big Rocks. Use me Lord for Your glory ... starting with my family. Help me to become Ryan's helper and confidant. May I not grow weary in training my children according to Your Word. May Your will be done in my life.

Thanks for sharing that Joan, your prayer is similar to mine for this year. I know that I want to be that confidant & friend that my hubby needs. I think our guys need a buddy so badly sometimes but they don't know how to reach out to one.

You, your marriage & your family are always in my prayers...keep going strong Joan, I see such reflection and encouragement in you! I'm truly blessed by it :D

You always speak right to my soul. 2009 is going to be a wonderful LIFE changing soul shaking year, I can feel it. You know you are the second or third person who's talked about the big rocks lately. Maybe thats God talking to me hu?

Love you, Miss you~!

Hugs!
