Good morning, dear One.  Oh, my.  I have done it again.  I wait so long to write......to write out my thoughts to You.....literally and figuratively.....I just wait too long.  I wish I could think of something legitimate to blame it on, but, I can't.  It's the usual...lazy bones attitude.....too much on my plate.....waiting until I have "a mind to" or just, the usual "I'm not sure I want people to see this part of me" excuse.  Actually, Lord.....after all these prayers I've posted, there is not too much that could surprise them.  How about You, Lord......?  Have I surprised You lately?  I wonder.  Probably not.  I am unusually calm today and rather serene in my thoughts and plans to accomplish an amount of packing that surprises even me.  I'm not sure Lord.....but, I truly wonder if this "stuff" of mine multiplies over night.  I wake up and walk through a maze of boxes trying to get through to the next room.  I am thinking that I must go through some of these boxes again.....and purge a little more.  Lord.....You have helped me see so much of  "what I've saved forever and really don't need".....and that once I have decided it is "no longer of use to me"......I'll never think of it again.  I need that enforced in my mind, once again.  I'm beginning to fall back into the old way of packing.  "Once I get there, I can get rid of what I don't have room for".  Dear Lord.......You and I both know that the amount of boxes I'm amassing is ridiculous.  Where am I moving our possessions to?  A two-bedroom apartment.  No dining area.  No shed.  No garage.  No attic.  Just writing it out in black and white is scary......and actually, quite real.  I realize Lord, that my head is full of all the events about to come to fruition for us.  The time of being a Pastor and wife in the Wesleyan Church is coming to an end.  My description will now be ......former Pastor's wife.  And, yes....honestly, Lord......I have looked forward to this part of our life.  But, I will miss the calling that I felt called to as well as my husband.  I am grateful and thankful for the fact that You allowed me to do this job.  I thank You, Lord.....for giving me a voice.  For the talents that You provided and I gleaned so much from.  You gave me so much.  I ask that whatever comes for us in the next few months with this transition......that I, along with my love, will please You in what I say and in what I do.  See, Lord.....there's nothing earth-shaking in this prayer.  Actually, to anyone else.....it's probably a boring one.....or "corny" as someone just described the book I just published.  You know what, Lord.....to You, I say.....I love You, Lord.  I thank You for listening to the cries of my heart......and the whining of my very being.....when I am at the end of myself.  You are the God of my being.  Savior of mine......I need You.

I pray this prayer in the name of Jesus.  Amen.
