Gracious God is it true what I see? Is this how you are answering our prayers? We need to know. We desire to know. I especially need to know if this is Your will or me jumping in too soon. I know nothing is impossible with You. I know You open and shut doors in ways that do not always make sense to us or to the people around us. I know there is a huge part of me that wants this to work out but in a way pleasing and honoring to You. I desire to go and to leave. I desire to be starting new things and doing new things. I only want this in the place and time of Your choosing and not mine. I ask as Solomon did to have Your wisdom. I hang on to the promise that that you hear and answer the prayers of Your people.

I praise You for the ear You give to my words. I am humbled that the God of all creation would even consider hearing what I have to say much less be so involved in my life. You created my bodily form and You recreating the rest of me now. It is an amazing thing. It is amazing to know that You understand cats, dogs, plants, lizards and those things that we seek to understand. You are the one who knows why they make every step they make. You know why they make the choices they make. You alone understand these things. I praise You for that understanding.

Bring Angie and I to the same place on the choices before us. Lay passions upon our hearts. Take fears away. Bring us together in new and exciting ways. I look forward to watching You work in this.

Continue to work in the hearts and minds of the boys. Prepare them for this move and change. Help them to understand. Help them in those moments when they miss the people the care about. I would especially ask that help Aiden deal with leaving school.

You are an amazing God and I praise You for Aiden's 4 years with us. It has been amazing to see how You have done so much in his life. I look forward to seeing You continue to do this.

I praise You for the pretty snow this day. Help us enjoy all that You provide for us. Christ I thank You for saving me and for allowing me to come before the Father in Your name. Amen!
