An Adventure for You, Lord!

Father in heaven, Here I am, doing something that really takes me out of my comfort
zone. I remember, Lord, when I first started writing to you that I was embarassed to
think that anyone would ever see my letters to you and think...." This woman is a
mean one"....."I never would believe that our pastor's wife would feel this way"... I
threw everyone of my letters away. I don't know when I began to save them. Probably
after I turned 40 and realized I had to express my opinion whether anyone thought I
had one or not. Thank you Lord. I am yours. I want to be your emissary today. Let me be an instrument for you that you will be proud of at the end of this day. Would you let
this blogsite serve only as a tool to point those who read it, to You.
This is the sole purpose....and if that would ever change, shut me down, Lord.
I love You Lord...and I lift my soul....to worship You and You alone.

I forgot to mention the needs of our family....far and wide. We want your will Lord.
Too often we think we know what you want and then you surprise us all. I know You will do what is best. Situate us so we can see and/or hear what You want. I think it's the only way we can be happy. In your will I ask for these things. Amen (for now)

Introduction to "My Letters To God"

My letters to God came about by my need to communicate with Him on a regular basis. I needed to, as a christian, a wife and a mother notwithstanding, pray every day. As a young mother I found myself almost continually interrupted by my two little girls. All for necessary and legitimate reasons. You and I both know satan uses every trick in the book to keep us from communing with God and I felt that he was definately getting the upperhand. So, one day out of sheer desperation, I grabbed a sheet of paper or a notebook (I don't remember) and began to scribble out a prayer for God to come and rescue me. I needed to tell Him EXACTLY how I felt. I needed Him and felt that this was my only recourse. Invariably, before I started writing, when I was interrupted I hardly ever would go back to my devotion time. I'd forget where I was in my prayertime and it all seemed futile.....after all, the wash had to be done, the beds had to be made, baths needed to be taken care of.....etcettera.....etcettera....etcettera. After the first attempt, I tried it again and again until this wonderful habit was formed for me. I could literally stop mid-sentence and almost always go back , and pick up where I had left off. As I found my time with God lengthening because of my determination to do this, it ended up being my solace. Even with two more daughters and a son as the years went by. I often found that it was truly a wonderful thing when I would search for a word that described what I REALLY felt. Many times in my prayertime prior to this , I would skim over the

hard parts that would express my angst to Him sort of mumbling, "Lord, you know what I mean.....". I was so terribly desperate to express how I really felt. To that, I could only tell Him in my tears and fears and frustration hoping He would still love me. I'd reread sometimes and find that I was alot meaner than I knew He would be pleased with.....or, I was not as bad as I believed I was.

Writing to God has followed me into the years that the world says are the "senior years". It doesn't matter to me. As long as I can hold a pen and write Him all of my heart thoughts, the "mind stealers" will not deter me. I am determined to be God's instrument. I will blow my horn for Him as long as He gives me breath!

As I share my letters with you, past and present, may you find in Him the solace that you need. He will give that to each of us. This is my prayer.
