Dear Father,
I'm a little anxious about heading up to my mom's. I haven't been on vacation in such a long time that I've forgotten how good it will feel to get away for awhile. I know we'll have fun - we always do.
I need your help and your strength. I am weak when it comes to wanting something but not always being smart about it. I want a new camera for the kids school activities, memory foam for my mattress, and my brakes fixed. I know I have to steward all of Jo's money toward my bills for this month. Next month will be a better gauge and maybe I can put some $ into savings? I really want to.
My spirit is downcast. I want to clean my house but I'm sweaty. I want to clean my floor but don't have the money for the Swiffer stuff. I need to learn how to be okay in not having what I want. It's very very hard.
Lord, I ask that my time with the girls be blessed with fun and laughter. Help us to spend some nice time together playing games, maybe go for a walk or something else fun. I love my time with them. Please help Ryan and I plan for a meal together. I miss my time with him.
Please bless my mom and I, too. Please help Pam while I'm gone. I'd like to call her most everyday just like at home. Please let this be a time for Steve to realize whether or not I'm a convenience or someone he really treasures. I'll need some guidance in this area, too.
I love you and thanks again for Jo's abundance.
Your daughter,
Amy Kathleen
