If you could pray...

So much has happened in the last two weeks - some amazing and unexpected, some terrible and bringing much suffering to those around me... but all requiring much prayer for discernment and appropriate response. I am just going to ask for prayer in this hour from all of you in the days to come. This week will continue to be full of asking questions, searching my heart, and turning it toward the Light of Christ who can illuminate the darkness therein. I wish that I could elaborate further, but all will reveal itself in time. There are two specific things that are heavily weighing on my heart presently - one involving myself and making some decisions for the future, and the other related to those around me who I am trying to help in an extremely difficult time. At least this week it is fall break, which allows for much time for prayer, meditation on Scripture (boy, do I need it), and trying to catch up with schoolwork.

I hope that all is well with all of you. Please feel free to leave comments to let me know how you are doing or if you also want to raise prayer requests so that others can pray for you. Sometimes it's easy to forget that real people read these blogs, but we are very real and our prayers are real. Take care and have a very blessed week. I'll keep you posted in the days to come. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate your prayers.
