Gracious God, You are so awesome to me and my family. You never leave us or abandon even when we may not always be seeking after You. You do not turn Your ear from us though we not always realize that. I am sorry for not running towards You in the way that I should I seek You forgiveness and trust in Your grace that You will hear me even now. I seek Your wisdom and guidance. I seek Your confirmation or denial. I seek to know if we should be moving towards Sugar Grove or some other place. I want to have an incredible passion for the place You want us to go. I desire for this to be evident to all people. Light that fire in me for whatever You want. Light that same fire in all who would be working with us. I hope that Chris' assessment went well and I hope that have spoken clearly to IBSA and his family about where You want them to serve. There are so many details to be worked out and I trust that if this is the place You want us to be then You will begin to work all of them out. I look forward to watching You do some amazing things in the future.
I praise You for the way You are moving in the lives of so many around us. I thank You for Amber and Eric's baptisms. I thank You for allowing me to be part of the wonderful journeys You are taking them on. I hope that these moments of baptism will serve as markers and turning points for them and that they will grow even closer to You.
Gracious God hear my prayers and bring peace and joy this day to my house. Amen.

Lord God I do praise You for Your enduring love and mercy. I am thankful that it will never fade or leave me. I am thankful that no matter how much I mess up or fail You, You do not forsake me. I seek Your kindness and ask that You forgive me for my sins. I ask that You wipe away the mistakes I have made specifically I think of the ones with Angie and the boys. My attitude has not been good with them of late and I am sorry. Let them know in ways that my words cannot fully express how sorry I am for how I have acted. You are an awesome God and I trust You will do these things. You so amazing and I cannot even fully understand how great You truly are.
I seek Your rest. I seek after Your peace and comfort. I seek to know Your will. I seek to know more about the plans You have for our family. I want to know so much more yet I want Your peace about it more than anything else. When You give me that peace may I simply rest in it. I praise You for listening to me today.
I would ask that heal Angie's body. Allow her to receive wonderful rest right now. May she be able to once again be the energetic woman she desires to be. May she accomplish all of the things she wants to do. May You multiple her efforts far beyond herself. May she and I be in the same place when it comes to church planting, adoption and all of those decisions in our lives. May we take the time to be with You as we should. May our marriage reflect You.
There is so much that distracts me from You and that should not be true. There is no real reason as to why I do not focus more attention on You. You should be the beacon that I focus in with all that I do. Help this to become true for me.
Help this to also be true for my family. I especially think of my boys. May they see Your light and run towards it. May You be the thing the desire most in their lives. May the knowledge, understanding and acceptance of Your salvation become real to them far sooner than I could ever imagine. Show Angie and I how to best lead them in this direction. May the truth of Your stories leap out at them. I praise You for the progress Aiden has made in his potty training. It has been amazing to watch him come so far with no real explanation beyond You. Anthony's speech explosion is nothing short of a miracle. I would ask now that You take the incredible amount of energy they and use it to glorify You and Your name. I look forward to seeing how You will do this. I praise You for how they have handled the transition away from UBC. I am thankful for men like Mr. Tom who Aiden simply seems to adore. I look forward to seeing how you will continue to take care of them as we begin the process of making another transition in our lives. It is so amazing to me how you have taken care of their needs far beyond us.
Your provision has been great. May we be good stewards of what You have provided for us. Help me fight those urges to spend money we don't really have. I love You God. I praise You. I seek to be Your servant the day. I seek to show people Your truth. Show me how to do this at work. There are so many who seem so lost and hurting there. I feel as though I have such a short time and I need You to show me Your task(s) for me there. May I not run from anything You lay before me.
I praise You again for hearing my prayers. I trust You have heard and listened. I also trust that You have heard thsoe things that I did even express in words. You are so awesome and amazing. Thank You again for allowing me to come before in the Name of Christ my Savior. Amen!
