The last three days, I have been praying for my family, my friends, and the lost. It has really been an encouraging thing, and I am so glad that the Lord put it on my heart to do a month of prayer.
My family is my rock and my family is my strength. They are who have made me who I am. I am so blessed by the family that I do have. I am loved by them and they will never know how much they mean to me. I have felt so honored and privilaged to be able to call them each my family member and I have loved the time spent in prayer for them. It has made me realize even more how blessed I am to have them in my life.
My friends mean the world to me. They encourage me and give me the ability to see my potential. I have loved the chance to get to know them more and the chance to strengthen our friendships here at Baylor. I know that each of my friends has their own life and their own struggles, and praying for them has just given me the chance to step out of my shoes and look through their eyes. It really has been rewarding.
I have enjoyed, also, praying for the lost. In each of our lives, there was a moment when we were lost, and I look back on my life and see how different things could be without the Lord in my life, and my heart breaks for them. I cannot imagine living life not knowing the love, mercy, grace, patience, and joy that our Father gives us. Praying for them has made me even more compassionate to them, and more compassionate to my calling to work with youth.
Life is great. Even better when you are working in the Lord's will. I am so blessed to be able to pray for so many wonderful people and I cannot wait to see how the rest of this journey ends.
