In Need of Grace
It's prayer time! I'm half dead and my week is JUST starting. Yes, I realize this is Thursday and that statement sounds a bit ridiculous, but life is just way too fast paced for me at the moment.
Classes started back up last night. 354 pages to be read by next Wednesday for that class and who knows what tonight will hold. I have a wedding for my boss on Saturday that is 2 hrs from where I live, and to top it all off, I thought I would be assisting with Freedom (Disciple Now - different name) only today they were one leader short. So tomorrow, I'm packing my bags to stay across town with my own group of girls at someone else's house instead of helping my roommate with the10 girls at my apartment! So, I'm calling on all my friends to please pray for me this weekend. I wasn't prepared to lead, though I am very happy to do so, (these kids are my heart) I just need loads of grace and strength! This is one of those moments where I want to look at the Lord and say, "But I'm not prepared! I'm tired, my plate is already full!" I know it's not up to me, I just have to be willing to be used. So I'm laying it out there. Empty handed, feeling a bit like I didn't have anything to give, but willing to go where God sends.
I know He is ever faithful and is going to get me through this. Right now...I'm just not sure how.
