Lord, I am feeling frustratingly discouraged this morning. Which truly sucks, because yesterday I was feeling so much more hopeful! Sometimes just being human sucks — mostly due to having these roller coaster human emotions! :-( Okay, enough whining… THANK YOU for the extended timeframe of my Mate and our friends moving to their little parcel of land an hour away from here. THANK YOU for the awesome gifts you have given them, including a brush hog for free that they truly NEED! :) Please help me to get OUT of my pathetic self-pity mode and just do my work, help my Mate, and enjoy HIS being blessed. Help me not to feel so HURT that no one seems to want to buy what I have for sale, which would help me be FREE to leave this place that is starting to feel like a prison door is creaking and groaning, preparing to slam closed. I know it is only an illusion. I know that you will provide for everything I need, in your perfect timing. While I look at the Texas forecast, close to and exceeding 100 degrees the first week of May, potentially killing off most of the wildflowers and driving me indoors to hibernate… up north the weather is getting PERFECT, and my favorite plants are blooming, the trees budding out and the water running cool. Father, I take my painful heart and place it into your loving Hands. You have never let me down. I still trust you completely. Lead on.
