Gracious God, today is a day of change for our little family. I know You know about everything that si going on and that You have known about this change. I also believe that You have been preparing us for this day in ways far beyond we can see or imagine. I trust in this. I trust in Your providence and provision. To the best I know how I seeking to cling to You and Your greatness. I am come to You now even knowing that I do not deserve to be in Your presence except by the blood of Christ. Even then I know that Your are still holy and I am not yet You see me as one who can come into Your presence. I do not understand but I am thankful.

You are so awesome and mighty. You are so far beyond my comprehension. Place my agitation at rest. May Your amazing and wonderful peace flood over me in ways I have never conceived. You are the great and mighty King who is worthy of my praise. I praise You now with all that I can. Holy Spirit take these offerings and make them even more pleasing to the Father. I seek Your wisdom. I seek Your guidance in the path that I should take. Gracious God send me, use me, make me a light for You in this place. Jesus, help me to Your beacon of light and hope at Wal-Mart. Open doors for me to share Your love. May the seed of truth be planted in hearts because You have used me. If it is Your will and desire then allow me the honor of leading one of my co-workers to Christ. Show me the people You want me to minister to. Make it beyond clear to me. Grant me the courage I need. Meet me where I am and provide what I need in that moment as You always do.

I know things will be more difficult for Angie now yet I know I You are right beside her. You will are there to protect her and provide for her. Thank You for allowing me the honor of serving her in those kinds of ways. Thank You for using me to fulfill that for You. Place her fears and anxiety at ease. May Your incredible peace rush over her mind, body and soul in a way she has never experienced before. Give her the words to speak to our boys when they ask those hard questions. Give us both Your wisdom as we seek to raise our boys up in Your way. Forgive me the times I let you down in this area. Forgive me when I am not the kind fo husband You want me to be. Spriti, show me when I am wrong and give me the opportunities to make it right (whatever that may mean).

The boys are growing up so much. I see those increedible personalities You have given each of them become more and more mature. May You use those boys in such incredible ways for Your Kingdom. Even now prespare their hearts and minds for You. Prepare Angie and I's hearts and minds for how You will use them. Draw them to You so that they will know truly know a day without Your forgiveness and grace. Jesus be real to the boys.

I praise You for how well Aiden has been growing especially with his potty traiing. Help Aiden make those last few hurdles in his potty training. Help him to make new friends in all of the new places we may go. Comfort him when he misses his old friends and family. May he have wisdom and understanding far beyond his years.

I praise You for how Anthony has developed. His speech is siply amazing. His personality is exploding into our lives. God may You take his stubborn indepence and use it for Your glory. Help him as he begins potty training. Comfort him when he misses friends and family. Help as he develops new friends in all of the new places we will go.

When I take the time to ponder You and who You are it blows me away. I am amazed with You. May I never lose this amazement. I rest and trust in You in this moment. Help this continued the rest of this day.
