friends,

(or whoever reads this blog - the whole two of you)

please.

pray for me.


in less than 36 hours i will be speaking to a large group of women from my church back home who are older, wiser, and more experienced than me on one of the most sensitive issues ever known to a Christian woman:

her children.


i have no idea why the Lord chose me to do this (by having the women on the leadership/retreat team at my church decide that i would be a good candidate to speak to them.) sneaky old ladies quietly wandering in to the highschool room while i give talks to the students apparently were some deciding factors. what in the world? this is so humbling. this is so crazy. this is so not something i can do on my own.

i have so much i want to say to them and yet i feel so unqualified.
i'm not married! i don't have kids! i'm only a twenty-one year old college student who may have discipled a few girls here and there and goes a school where they're training us to run a spiritual marathon, but that doesn't mean anything...
does it?

gah.





Lord, let this be You.
let my words leave, and let Your words be on my lips;
fall on their ears, and remain in their hearts.

Jesus, i have nothing to offer them.
only You. and that is enough.




please pray i would get an effective, concise outline finished (rather than just write a whole bunch of words in manuspcript form and then get really confused about order, which is what i usually tend to do). pray i would have time to practice, and not be stressed, but trust the Lord. pray that the women who need to hear whatever it is the Lord has to say though me would come, and pray for the other four women doing the other seminars, as well as our main speaker for the weekend. and above all else, pray that i and everyone else would come to love Him in a more real and deeper way though this.


thankyou.
