Tuesday, November 6, 2007 - Day Six... The Holy Spirit
Word of God,
Thank You for the times You've spoken to me so clearly. Please forgive me for the times I haven't listened, or been upset when You've been silent. Lord, I need to hear You in my life right now... but in my asking for answers, I know that I haven't been still and just listened... just been in presence. I have come to You with desires and needs of my own and I haven't been content to just be overwhelmed by You.
Holy Spirit, overwhelm me... consume me... pour down like rain and wash me... I praise You for loving me with all of my flaws... for all the times I've been like a child demanding my own way. I want You to teach me Your ways. I desire to follow Your laws and live like Jesus every day, every moment, every minute... and I know only You can help me to do it even a little bit. Thank You for everything You have taught me through pleasure and joy... and suffering and pain. Please give me the strength to be more... in my weakest moments Lord... help me. Lord, I want to grow... no matter how much it may hurt... don't leave me to be as I am... and thank You for loving me enough to want more of me.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striv- ing to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have child- ren), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
