Praises...I've been so thankful for this week... work has slowed down, the boyfriend is out of town, and I'm getting some time for myself with my dogs to do whatever whenever. I had a great weekend spending time with my roommate and one of my very best friends from college. God has been kind to me regarding my finances when I was really worried about them a few weeks ago.
Struggles... hmmm, struggling with body image, self esteem, and the desire get married. oh and a haircut I don't like very much ;)
Requests... pray that I get a full night's sleep. I haven't been sleeping well and I run out of energy fairly quickly during the day. I also have several events coming up at work and I'd love to have good attendance at all of them.
Mental illnesses... yes, I have those and they plague me all the time!
Struggles....yes. I have them. Worried about what I'll look like at the triathlon. Worried what people are going to say and think. Worried that ....well, I don't really know what else I'm worried about, but I do wish I had known how to train for it a little bit better.
I too, haven't been sleeping well. I'm exhausted by bedtime but once I'm there I can't seem to sleep well.
Struggles~~ - 10 years ago today(4/9)was my momma's funeral (I'm learning that I never stopped moving forward or running away from dealing with that, but the Lord is GOOD and He is making me stop running) - I am tired of the way I look and the way I feel
Praises/Joys~~ - I am sleeping better than last week - I have been reading my bible almost everyday this week and last (I like to read at night, not studying, just reading) - I am truly blessed in more ways than I deserve
Requests~~ - pray that my heart will remain open to what the Lord continues to reveal to me - pray that the Lord will continue to show me ways in which to love those around me - pray that my memories of my mom no longer make me sad and that I will stop thinking of time passage as years she has been gone - pray that I rely on God for peace and comfort
special word to Renatta: my mother passed away 11.5 years ago (nov 1997) so i can understand what you expressed here. my dad also passed away last year, sept 08 followed by a grandmother who was a second mom in dec 08. maybe we should talk sometime.

I'm missing my relationship with God today.
My cell is MIA!
