Your last paragraph "Please pray for strength. Today will be merciless. But most importantly, pray that I dump my Martha heart long enough to have a Mary heart tonight." Really caught my attention. Made me ask myself if I have ever had a Mary heart.... something for me to think about and seek to figure out how to do that!
Along with a couple friends we are 16 days into a challenge and each day I have a verse that the Lord leads me to ....today's verse spoke volumes to me...when I read "pray for strength" I knew that I had to share it with you today.
"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."Isaiah 40:29 Isn't that good?? When you can't HE WILL!!! Hang in there... do one thing at a time and DO NOT allow the enemy to tell you YOU CANT!

thanks for the ideas... we are always so busy that we fail to take time for ourselves!
i need to make a plan....hmm???? what to do first?

Love to hear how the Lord is working in the lives of young people! Heavenly Father you know your daughter's heart right now. You know every thought, every need, every heartache. Father give her exactly what she is in need of today. You are the great provider and I know you will provide for her every need.
Precious girl! He loves you so much! Keep on enduring the race set before you! God is before you behind you and by your side!

It sounds as if you do have a word...lol! Focus. In your quest for you time... schedule your time with the Lord on that calendar. Put Him first, seek first His righteousness.... and He will guide your path in 2013!

Oh I am so sorry that happened to you and your roommates! Praise the Lord for his HAND OF PROTECTION!!
He is faithful to his promises!
He loves you so much!

I thank Him everyday for giving me the grace that I do not deserve. We can't earn it, HE gives it freely! I am so thankful that He never gives up on me. I sent a text to a friend earlier that admitted failing. I said, pick yourself up, dust off your britches, and get back at it!!
