Please accept my apologies.  I am late for my son’s baseball game and I have to be up by 3am, so depending on when his game is over (typically around 8pm at night) and I get the kids situated to bed (because Neal has his own softball game at 9) then I need to get to bed.  So no time to be truly ‘contemplative’ on the day.

Though I will quickly say I had a few curve balls thrown at me with some more ‘unexpected’ phone calls from people I haven’t heard from in a while.  It is heartwarming to know they think of me to call for guidance and prayer.  On the other hand my heart is so heavy for all of the prayers I am lifting up.  Daily I lift them up and if it weren’t for the grace of God I’d have lost hope.  But then again, that is what the enemy wants us to do.  To question.  To get angry.  To say ‘why me, Lord!’ or ‘why him!’.

This is what I need to think about as I continue to pray and organize my thoughts/stories for the event tomorrow evening in Minot, ND.  I am very excited to be a part of The Rock student event at Bishop Ryan High School.

With that being said, I do need to go and be present to my family and present to the upcoming job at hand.  Forgive me but I’ll have to update on Thursday…your prayers are a blessing!

🙂

Blessings
