Prayer for this Election Day

On this Election Day, I praise God for being in control. I pray to trust God with all my heart & to not rely on my own thinking & understanding. I pray to rejoice in all things; to lift up my concerns in prayer, in faith & with thanksgiving; to act in faith; to trust God with results; & to give God all glory, honor, thanks & praise. 

I don’t have to understand why friends support the candidate or party they support. And I don’t have to understand why God seems to be calling me to vote a different way. I choose to trust that God is in control & God is good & God is working for good. He wants me to act in faith & trust Him. I pray to be willing & able to do so. 

And I pray for this nation. I want to believe God is in control & working for good. I pray for the leaders & candidates & voters & election workers. I pray for unity & justice & peace & goodness & love to prevail. I know all good things are possible for & through God. I praise God for His faithfulness. I lift my prayers & praise in the name of His Son, my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

For all the saints …

I remember & am grateful for the saints who have shared the love of God with me. I’m grateful for livestreams that allowed me to worship & remember even though I woke up feeling sick. I’m grateful to feel better now. 

Reuniting & reminiscing

The key to a high school reunion is to just enjoy being there. Period. 

Textbook example

A recent Bible lesson discussed the importance of having priorities & .. now I can’t remember.  

I just know that time I wasted yesterday made it hard for me to accept opportunities God gave me today. 

I decided to accept the opportunities & get further behind on a long list of things. 

Time will tell how this works out. 

(This was when I went to watch Madison cheer on Halloween night. It turned out wonderfully!)

Make the call

Will it ever get easier? It always seems hard.

Make the call. MAKE THE CALL! 

It’s always worth it. May I never give up. 

Should I stay or should I go?

That was the question Tuesday and again today, Thursday. Both times, I decided to go. And I am glad. 

Tuesday, it was Banks’ Stillwater football  team’s championship game in Mustang, which they won in overtime. 

Today — Halloween — it was Madison’s last pep rally & cheering for a home football game as an eighth-grader. She’s always great. 

I’m grateful to be able to travel & watch these youngsters & spend time with them & their families. I hope they know how much joy they bring to my life! 

Out of it!

Is this my theme for October? My first visit to the blog is Oct. 26. Wow. When I don’t post in a timely fashion, it seems I never get back to it. Maybe next week!
