how have i used today? well, for starters, i forgot to tell my husband we were boycotting mcdonalds. so, on the way to his softball game, he picked up mcdonalds for the whole family. (don't tell corporate!) i planned to take the kids to the library for story time until i found out we had a check deposit problem at the bank i needed to go take care of. so while i was fixing our breakfast, i was a little rattled about the bank problem, so i neglected to pray at breakfast (which we do religiously, no pun intended). i CHOSE not to pray because i felt i was to distracted to say a prayer that i would pay attention to and mean. i felt guilty at the time. it wasn't until much later in the day, as i didn't pray at lunch (because i was helping a friend bake and trying to feed austin at the same time and grab a bite for myself at the same time), that i reflected on why i didn't pray in the morning and how i could have glorified Him and calmed my rattled nerves had i just chosen Him instead of not. obviously this is just a tincy example of the extraordinarily large sinner that i am. obviously my devoting this time every night to this study isn't enough. obviously He deserves more than 1% of my time. obviously i am a big fat sinner with a HUGE need for grace from the One and only that can give it!

dear Lord, its me, AGAIN! here i am, AGAIN, begging for your forgiveness. AGAIN asking You for another day to do a better job at glorifying You. please continue to be with my sisters in Christ as they both have a lot on their plates right now. i ask that You lead them and comfort them in a way that only You can. Amen
