Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY January 19th…..
Outside My Window… It is cold and cloudy.

I am thinking… Why me God?

I am thankful for… my husband. He seeks God’s face and leads our family unwilling to back down from what he is called to.

From the learning rooms…School is hard right now. We are taking the day off, one more time

From the kitchen… Homemade chicken noodle soup. Something light. My husband HAS to start eating again.

I am wearing…comfy clothes.

I am creating…lasting memories with my sister

I am going…wedding shopping this morning for my middle sister’s wedding

I am reading…God’s Word. It is my light in dark times

I am hoping… God’s will and direction will be sought by my entire church at this time of division and unrest.

I am hearing… my dishwasher run. My husband is at work and the two children at home now are still sleeping.

Around the house.. There are many things to accomplish. But how is a person supposed to act when their entire focus and ministry is suddenly pulled away from them? I am like a stranger in a foreign country. Wondering when my familiar life will return again.

I am praying…..

Father, I feel lost and scared and so confused. When men attack my husband, how do I respond? I ask that You lead us with clarity of mind and thought that we might see Your face and follow it. My heart aches for Your church. Division is a sin against You, chaos is not a sweet song in Your ear. Please pour out Your spirit and return unity and love in our church. That is Your body of believers, and as they seek Your will for their lives I lift them up. I put myself aside, willing to move out of they way, if that be Your will. Please Father, bind Satan from their hearts and fill them with Your love. We love You and are willing to follow no matter the cost. Amen.
