Lord I know that I am not living my life in a way that is satisfying to you. I am so sorry. I keep saying that I am going to try, I keep saying that I am giving it all to you, I keep saying that you are in control and that I want you to take the reins. Then I get in the way. I make excuses and go back to MY ways. I just need to get in the passengers seat and give you the keys. Sometimes it is just so hard and I just want to jump in and gossip about so and so with the person sitting next to me. The people that I work with, the people in my family, the people that I go to school with, they make it hard and the situations that have come up in my life recently STOP ITThere I go making excuses again. That is how it normally works. But NO MORE EXCUSES!! This is not anyones fault but my own. Other people have obstacles, a lot of them more difficult then my own, and they overcome them everyday and continue to praise God and to make Him proud. I just need to be stronger and wiser in my decisions. I need self discipline. I give it to you Lord. I pray for the strength that I need to make it through another day and to help the people that I love be closer to you. I pray for the self discipline that I need to obey and to return from the distant path that I am on and I pray that I can glorify you in every way possible EVERYDAY!!! Amen

I have been doing this a lot more lately but sadly I have to admit that it is only because I have had a lot of hard and confusing times over the last few weeks. My great grandma and my grandma were both in the hospital, my husbands grandpa was in the hospital, my brother just moved to another state, my husband was looking for a new job, school has been really hard. I find myself praying for things to go well and get better, however, I do not find myself being grateful and thanking God for these things when everything ends up just fine. I have to start doing this more often. If it were not for him I do not think that I would have made it through these things at all. It is sad that it takes bad things going on in life for me to remember God and the power he has. I forget that I need to include God in the good times not just the bad. Sorry God…
