I've been looking online for healthy dessert recipes. Not just sugarfree recipes with gross aspartame or other junk in them, but healthy too. Ha. It's not working too well. I guess I'll just have to suffer. My sugarless hot chocolate isn't really that great for me. However, it's not NEARLY AS BAD AS ASPARTAME!
Wow. I really have no life. lol.
*sigh* (switching subjects) I really don't spend enough time with God as I should. At conference, Mr. Wise (perfect name, eh?) talked about having 23 hour days, where one hour is completely dedicated to God. I can do 15 minutes. 20 minutes. A half an hour, but usually not a whole hour. That needs to change. I need to change. God needs to change me.
God, I'm sorry that I haven't been spending as much time with You as I should. Please forgive me. Help me have 23 hour days. I dedicate one hour to You. God, it's so hard for me to really spend quality time with You, even when I know I should. I need it so desperately, yet I avoid it. It doesn't make sense. I love being with You. I love being in Your presence. I love talking to You. So why is it that I look at it as a chore? Why is it that I try and make excuses? I'm sorry, Jesus.
Help me, Lord. Help me find time to be with You. You said, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well." There is blessing in spending time with You. Not just the blessing of being with You, but physical blessings too. And spiritual. God, I love You. I want to love You more. Help me, Lord. Help me.
Lord, I lift up Mary to You. Give her the reassurance that Your plans are perfect and best. Help her follow You wherever. Help her go when You say "go." Help Mary know deep in her heart that You have the perfect person for her. Give her satisfaction and peace and understanding.
I lift up Katie to You. Give her peace and comfort as she struggles with this whole "Ed thing." Bless her. Don't let her worry, but give her the peace that transcends all understanding.
I pray for Catbaby. Show her that You love her and care for her. Bring her to You.
Thank You, Jesus, for all our struggles.
Love,
Katelyn
