My Reflections

Long-term Prayers

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Tell about a prayer God hasn’t answered yet. What Scripture can you use when praying that will help you?

Answer:
Well the main long-term prayer request I have right now is to get my driver's license. Something keeps coming up every time I try to do it that prevents it. I keep reminding myself of God's sovereignty and that all things work together for my good. When and if the time is right, God will allow it.

The other thing I pray for is for certain people’s salvation. I pray that God will heal their spiritual blindness. I went blank at the moment about the scriptures I like to pray for this. I will try to remember and write about them later. I am sure I have them written down somewhere.

PROMPT July 29th

Your significant other wants to watch a sporting event this weekend. You aren’t a sports fan; in fact you had other plans for the two of you. You love him though, and agree to sit with him to watch the event. Two hours before it starts, he casually remarks, “Ron, George, and Rick are coming over to watch the game with us. Can you make us some snacks and get drinks set up?” Tell us how you react to this casual statement.

I say as long as I am the one sitting next to you and snuggling with you. Lol Either that, you go ahead and spend time with your friends but we need to plan a night for my turn. Technically, I am assuming plans were not discussed with each other, so how can I get angry if he didn't know? I can either join him with his friends or request some time alone with him later to keep the peace. Communication is the key here. I could react upset, but what good would that do? You don't want yourself or him to lose face with his friends and you don't want to not be hospitable to his friends because you are mad at him. That wouldn’t be fare to them. I might tell him what I had planned to do, and see if he would be willing to do it another weekend.

is about trains. Tell us about trains.

I used to love them as a kid. When I was a little girl visiting my Grandma in Fairfax, Oklahoma (She actually live in Grey Horse, an Indian community not far from there.) The town had an old train engine set up in their playground for the kids to play in and explore. I loved going inside of it and looking around.

If you could change lives with anyone for a month, who would it be? Why? If the exchange went well would you be tempted to ask for longer or would you be content with original time frame? ( Like they say, the grass is always greener on the other side but is it really?.)

I am happy being me.
