My daughters

Lord, I have promised that I would not make idle promises to pray unless I actually do.  Writing my prayers is one way to keep myself accountable.

I promised to pray for Julie, especially during this week of "tech week" and hoping for a job.  She is working so hard and being so responsible.  Please bless her for her efforts to do things well, to do things for you.  Provide for her every need, as You have promised.  Give her strength, organization, efficiency, wisdom, knowledge, and energy.  (Is that all?  LOL)  Thank You for her concern for me after my surgery as well.  She is a wonderful daughter, and I am more than thankful that You gave her to us.

I promised to pray for Amy, too.  She hasn't blogged in a little while, but she did call us late last Sunday night.  Now come the days of drudgery, I suspect.  It's not novel any more, and the boredom of sameness sets in.  She needs to make it just about 6 weeks more, dear Lord, before she can come home to rest.  Please bless her daily ministry and her relationships.  Please bless Paul as well, my young man who is not yet a man.  This is such a sensitive age for him, a turning point age.  Please bring the right person or people into his life to hook him to You.  But back to Amy...please enrich her during these months of service in Tijuana.  Open her eyes to Your calling in her life.  I think she's seen some of it already!  Protect her spiritually and emotionally and (yes, I am a mother) physically.

For the sake of the kingdom of Christ~Amen.
