Living Sacrifice
Oh, no. It's Daylight Savings Time again, isn't it?
Yeah, I woke up way later than I wanted to. Not good for my work day.
And, Tomorrow, the apartment is spraying for bugs, so I have to clean my apartment tonight when I get home. Luckily, I'm not here to mess it up much, but I still need to mop and clean the floors. And dust. And put some clothes away. And carry out the trash.
I'll carry the trash out today before I go to work. Most of it.
I'm doing good.
And, I only have to make $85 to cover all my bills until the 21st with my check on Tuesday. (But I am still short the $980 I will need by the 21st for my car rental).
But, if I continue my momentum up, and if the car stays in the shop until the 27th, I will have the money. I'll be struggling with rent again, but at least I know she'll work with me on the payment. And if I get my car back, I'll be able to catch up pretty quick!
I'm praying (lump in my throat) that I don't get my car back before then, because I won't have the money if I do. That sucks! But, God's got this.
Lord, You know all things.
You know what I need. I pray You give me the strength and the ability to keep up the work You have given me. I pray the car I am driving stays working right until I turn it in. I pray I have what I need and that You open doors when my car is finally fixed. I pray that You are with the hands of the mechanics and that it returns fully functional. And, that You open doors for me to be able to do what I think You are calling me to do.
I pray that You help me to forgive others and that You will forgive me for my sins. All of them. You know what they are. I am human, I have too many to list. But, I am trying, and Praise Your Name, I am better today than I was yesterday. All of them. Every day.
Be with my children and my lists. Provide for all their needs and give them the grace and mercy You have shown me.
Bless my enemies with a double portion of what they give me, and bless those who have helped me seven times over! May their cup be overflowing as mine is. Help me live abundantly, no matter how much You give me.
You are the Life, the Truth, the Hope. May my life be a sermon for others to hear, and let them see more of You than me in me.
In Jesus's Name I pray, Amen!
