As I woke up this morning, the Lord put it on my heart to begin 30 days of prayer for the wedding, the marriage which follows the wedding, and mostly for his kids as we become a new family.
There are times when I question my ability to be a stepmom... will I have the patience... will I be able to handle the additional stress... and last night was one of those nights. As we were picking the kids up, it was the same ole thing - Matthew is missing (well, not missing - he's at a friends house), Sarah only wants to be with her girlfriends (normal for 16-1/2) and is fighting with Aaron (which I'm sure is also normal)... and it's just so different from my current day-to-day life. Those first moments with them is like having cold water thrown in your face - you wake up quick! But then it all settles down and things are fine. Last night was no exception. And, like most times we've had recently, it was the 'Three Musketeers' once again ... Ron, Me, and Aaron. He's starting to feel really special
So anyway, as I was saying - when I woke up this morning the Lord just put it on my heart that Ron and I need to begin 30 days of prayer. (I know biblically it should be prayer and fasting, but if I fast - there will be nothing left of me, unless my allowed liquid is a chocolate milkshake! So, we'll just go with praying...) Even though we don't see each other every day, we do talk everyday, so I called him when I got up this morning and told him what I felt. That during our last conversation of the day, we pray... he prays, and I pray. He agreed wholeheartedly!
At the end of the 30 days, it will be time to send out the invitations and I just want this totally covered in prayer. My theme during this prayer time is Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through him (Christ) who gives me strength." - I can, and I will... but only with the power of God.
