Dear God,
It's been a long time since I've felt led to write here.  For whatever reason, I'm feeling a definite longing to tonight...

I'm not really sure where our relationship is...probably best described as a work in progress, and likely it always will be able to be described that way.  I feel like I've been kind of lousy at my end of things but have been doing okay with my Bible readings and devotionals.

I haven't been to church since Christmas Eve service...and that I pretty much always make sure to go to.  I know it isn't mandatory but it would be nice to meet and fellowship with some others who are like minded.

I'm more aware lately of how lonely I feel and yet I still have the hardest of times getting out with people.  I feel like I'm spinning in circles half the time.  I don't feel like I'm making any progress as time goes by...but I know I must be...and I know you've held me up more then once when I didn't think I could get through something.

Lord, help me connect with people who You'd like me to connect to.  Help it not be such a battle just to get up and out of bed before half the day is over.  Help me serve you.  Father I pray for Your guidance.  I want my actions to be from You and for You.  Lead me through each day and task. Lord I NEED YOU NOW!!!


Thank you to a special friend, L, for introducing me to this song earlier tonight.

Love,
FPD

Ramblings of Thoughts in my Head

Usually I am happy with who I am and love my uniqueness. Some days though, that little voice inside tries to get the better of me and convince me I don't fit in and don't belong. Well, I try to remind it that 1) I don't want to fit in, I wasn't made to fit in, God made me an original and why would I want to be anything else, and as for 2) not belonging...that one I struggle with even more. I try not to listen. I go back and forth on my thoughts for this. And please don't take this the wrong, I'm content with life here...but Earth is not my forever home. So maybe I'm not suppose to feel like I belong here. The end result is eternity in Heaven (as a Christian this is my belief but obviously may or may not be yours, please be respectful). Heaven is where I belong....Earth is a holding place. This thought gives me comfort. I don't mean for this to sound morbid or depressing in any way.  Just a little bit of a heavier thinking kind of moment. Processing i...

Dear Father God, Christmas is almost upon us and it's easy for us humans to get caught up in what the world's view of christmas has become.  Many of us have forgotten the true meaning of the season....it's not about spending money, running to the store, getting stressed out, or how much we're getting...it's suppose to be about celebrating Your Son.  Your Precious Son who came to Earth, born of a virgin, who died for our sins (yes, each and every one of them) and rose again three days later.  It's about celebrating Your Son's miraculous birth.  Please help me to remember that more during these next few days and to not let me get caught up in so many of the "things" that today's christmas seems to have become about.  Thank you Lord for the wonderful gift you gave me, the only One that should ever really matter to me.  Your Son, my Savior!  This Christmas I want to make it a point to celebrate One Very Special Birthday!  I want to focus mor...

Dear Father, We're barely half way into the first month of the year and already so many awful things are happening to those around me.  I know life is tough, and we're suppose to trust you...but it's scary. The earthquake and devastation in Haiti is one of the big things right now.  I'm afraid to even look at pictures and video's because I'd rather be oblivious to how awful things there really are.  I know that sounds horrible, and don't get me wrong, they are all in my prayers...You know that...just stuff like that is scary. Then there's the issues within my own family...marital problems amongst my cousins.  They've separated and are heading for divorce....more then one of my cousins is facing this with their marriages right now.  It's hard to see others lose loved ones. And then tonight, K, is given notice that her job is being terminated.  This is a job she loved dearly and she looked forward to every day.  We know that You work things ...
