Thank you for my life. Thank you for loving me. For every mountain, valley and plateau. Thank you for being Lord and Saviour. Friend and Comforter. Helper and Brother. Father. Thank you Jesus. Thank you.
There is so much I am hoping for. There is even more than I am thankful for. I don’t always have the words. Lol. I know someone who loves words but doesn’t have words but I am thankful beyond words. Thankful that you are good and that you are God. Thankful for every blockage in my path that made me stronger.
Yahweh. Your young people. I pray for your grace to wake them up. To revive them. For them to know you. It’s not just about doing things in church, but about you. I watch as so many fade away and I feel helpless because there is only so much that I can do. But you are God and especially in the face of hopeless situations, you show forth your power and glory. I pray that they see you for themselves. That they know you for themselves. That they know that you love them and you gave the world for them. Thank you for all that you’ve done. I don’t how you plan to, but draw them close to you.
Help me to overcome the (what I am now terming though the term probably exists) Superman syndrome. It’s not up to me to save everyone. Though I am always tempted to try. Always thinking I have to organise and put things in place and fix things. And I was literally still wondering how do I “Stand Still?” I know it’s not a do nothing situation, but I do have to recognise that it’s not for me to go charging in to “fix” things. Lol. That’s your job. My job is to do what you’ve asked me to do:
- Be the best Landscape Architect and Urban Planner where you have placed me.
- Build the ministries sustainably.
- Write.
- Build the business.
- Build the house.
It’s not for me to do everything and when things get interesting, I will remind myself: Stand still. Stop trying to do everything. What I am not called to do. Trust you. Standing still is ultimately about trusting you. Trusting that in the stillness, you are moving. You are working. Stand Still.
Thank you for who you are. Thank you for lifting me up (my spirits that is). Thank you for your presence and your promises. Thank you for being God. I am going to Trinidad today. Work but not work. Lol. Hoping to make it to a Hakka restaurant cause I really enjoy their food.
Yahweh. Be with us as we go out today. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
I think I want to look extra cute today. I’m not one to wear makeup when I go to Trinidad because why? But gonna do a little extra today. Cause no lie, it makes me smile at times. Even though I will be wearing shades most of the day.
