Prologue to my journal...where am I at now, what do I need to include?
How do I finish my old journal?
I just want my sewing to be done.
How am I going to fasten the velcro to the "tree trunk"?
I need to edit, finish, and post some of these blog drafts. What am I still waiting for? What do they need?
How do you test and try someone's sincerity in love? How do you even think about this question?
I feel manhandled by C. How am I going to bring this before him? Do I?
Chastity. I still have so far to go in defeating lust. Lord, how may I be healed of this?
Confession. I forgot about confession. How can I find confession? How can this be a part of a protestant church?
Where will the time go in this upcoming week? Who will I hang out with, who will I contact, what will I do?
Who is it important for N to meet? What do we need to do?
I have so much to do and still so much to read and think about-- old journals, new books, essay ideas, I need time to sit and listen to Jesus as well, sewing, organizing my books, the Ebenezers project, cleaning the bathroom, the pile of papers on my desk, the pile of 1-hour projects on my dresser, files to update and re-sort on my computer. I haven't exercised and I haven't done my applications. Where has this day gone, where should the rest of it go?
Lord, let me glorify you with my time and priorities. Calm me, Heal me, Forgive me please for getting so busy and distant throughout my days. Thank you for never being more than a directed word away. Thank you for invading sinful places in my heart and mind, and entering my selfish moments before I am even fully repentant to turn me from other gods and bring me back to my portion. Please give me eyes, ears and a heart to recognize your opportunities and callings on my moments and the discipline to throw off everything else that threatens to merely burden me. Please bless my thoughts and my sleep, and please keep safe and close my friends and family. Please let me drink deeply of your love until I am so full of peace, security and joy that I overflow these things into the people you have put around me.
In your name and by your grace, I love you,
B.
