Thank you for these morning times that are like the old times, when I was really praying. Thank you for the time we had in Hawaii. Thank you for the years of running and swimming, for Kokua Crew, and how Annso and I were able to lead that together. What a great fit.
I pray for something like that here. I don’t know what, but you can always do the immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. We have small group starting next week, Lord.
Thank you for the church you led us to and for how young it is. Thank you for friends for Annso and I. Thank you that her parents are here. I pray for strength for her when they leave, that she can be strong enough to dive into these other relationships.
Thank you for the answers to prayer that come way later, but that they come. You help us when we are weak. You pay our debts for us and accumulate money for us when we don’t have it. You work in mysterious ways. I pray for the discipline to stay in that way of life, unless you are clearly leading us into the way of working a job for a living.
It seems like this will never end, because my health is still pretty precarious, but at the beginning of next year, it might be different. Help us to know what to do. Getting or not getting the house could be a barometer of what way to think. Give us pliable hearts that yield to your leading.
I pray for Ralph and Astrid as they make plans and think about living in the US or going back to Germany. I pray for Annso and Will as they prepare to go to Germany in October. Thank you for Bob’s generosity in giving us that $1000 for Annso to fly over there with her Mom. I’m thankful that she can do it and that it can happen soon.
I pray that the time there would be meaningful with her grandparents and friends and that she can see everyone she needs to see. Thank you for being able to do things that seem impossible during a cancer fighting ordeal, like getting a fish tank and buying a house with 2 rental units in it.
