A Goal for 2009 - May 16-31

My thoughts are all over the place these days, so the 10th verse towards "A Goal for 2009" is sensible:

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Psalm 94: 18-19 (NIV)

I have quite a lot my mind - my own stressors, and those of others near me.

Lysa TerKeurst wrote of "Mommy Guilt" recently - I definitely have that.... She also wrote about eating healthy - I have a problem with that, too.

I've been spending lots of time thinking about a potential change - praying for God's wisdom and clear guidance.

Who hasn't been thinking about the economy and its affects on ourselves, our friends, our country, our world?

I have four more weeks of graduate school - lots and lots to complete between now and then....

The tremendous, and sometimes overwhelming, needs of others....

• My dear grandparents;
• Little Ella, who was burned by hot tea on Sunday and is now in the hospital;
• Children and families in third world countries, and in our own communities;
• MVNU students leaving for the summer not knowing how they will afford to return in the fall;
• Two friends who have recently broken their legs - right before summer fun;
• Several families in need of selling their homes;
• My son, Tyler, and his physical healing;
• Friends in MV who are facing incredible adversity right now.

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Psalm 94: 18-19 (NIV)

Lord, May it be to me as You have said.... Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
