I admit it.. I need y’all :) October 10, 2008

hi friends

you know, the purpose for my blog began with wanting to update all my friends/family about my life in california..and then it kinda became my outlet for sharing what God is doing in my life, in hopes to encourage you all…well.. now.. i’m in a place where I really need prayer/accountability hope that’s okay … *smile*

you know, i strongly believe that anytime you really set your heart to live for the Lord, that’s where the Enemy wants to attack you the most–because it’s when he’s the most threatened!  when you are living away from God, it’s easier for Satan to gain his foothold in your life..

well as the school year has started and I have wanted my experience in seminary to be fully given to the Lord— I have been faced with many distractions, trials, transitions.. it’s kinda crazy!

currently, i have just started classes, so it’s a new load and adjustment to the wonderful things i’m learning, but i do have a couple hours of studying/reading to do on a daily basis and i want to soak it all in; i am in a position where I am changing jobs from working at the church <my pastor decided to resign when i was in georgia visiting> to working part-time jobs that are still kind of up in the air and making me a lot busier; i will need to move out of my apartment in the next month or so; i will also be looking for a new church; and trying to build my community here at Fuller…

so pray that i would:

• really glorify the Lord with my time in who I spend it with and what i do with my time
• God would provide financially through either a job or some other means, and i wouldn’t be so boggled down with working that it interferes with classes…right now i feel like i have to work really hard just to pay for living expenses.
• that i would find a church home
• that i would find a ‘real’ home/apartment for me and Lee Lee to live in (pet friendly!)
• and that I would continue to invest my time in the right people, build community here and develop relationships that would really truly be with the kind of people I can continue to grow with

… you know..saying all that was really hard for me.  one of my weaknesses is that it’s REALLY hard for me to ask for help   so… i appreciate yall reading, caring, and loving me

also…on top of ALL of the stuff on my plate.. i still want time to cook, work out, and be social and just enjoy life!  to GUARD my time with the Lord

so please be praying for me as I seek direction, guidance, wisdom …and really trust in what I can’t control and walk forward with the Lord’s leading ..

yall are awesome.  please let me know how I can lifting you up in prayer as well
