THANK YOU Father for the pleasant sleep I had, and thank you for the pleasant way in which you had me wake up. I feel extremely grateful to live in a time period where almost anything is possible, almost everything can be learned, and soooooo much can be created! Although my birthday is less than a week away and I have about 3 extra dollars to my name in total (lol), I thank you that our poverty has inspired my Mate to be creative, and I thank you for the little stone heart that sits in the crook between my keyboard and my screen, reminding me of his awesome love and appreciation for little me. What an amazing gift — my eternal Husband giving me my soul mate for a temporal husband and Mate, heehee. Surely I have everything I could ever want! Yet Lord, even as I write that, knowing it is true on one level, my heart still aches to visit my children, and to have the freedom to take little week-long vacations throughout the year, traveling to visit one or more of my children. It has been many years now since I’ve seen my oldest son, and about a year or even longer, since I’ve seen my other three children. I miss them, Father, and I petition you for a vehicle of my own, enough money for gas and hotel (or a way to sleep inside the vehicle itself!), and anything else I might need to be able to travel at will. I know my Mate kinda wants to settle down and stay put, but he also likes adventure and travel. I do not need to figure any of these things out. I just hand the whole thing over to you, faithful Shepherd, and ask you to provide for my little heart in your own way, in your own timing. I trust you completely, my Lord. Make me wise enough to hear your Voice, and humble and courageous enough to follow it — even if and when you ask me to do things that seem impossible or annoying. LOL. :D
