Christmas Prayers

It's been a long time since I used this blog, originally intended to be a newsletter to those who pray for me as I minister to my children and the women God brings me. I am so thankful that you know of my longing to share God's gift of Salvation with my little ones and the ladies whom I speak with, and pray for me when I have needs. Well today I am in need of prayer, and humbly ask you to lift me up.

This weekend I have the honor of speaking at two different Women's Christmas events (Saturday morning and Monday evening) and am not feeling prepared. Matt is gone this week and I am tired and feeling moody and unworthy. I know of course that I am only worthy to be Christ's vessel because I know longer live, but it is Christ who lives and ministers through me as I surrender daily to Him and the Power of His Spirit. But this truth seems elusive to me right now as I struggle, being short tempered with my dear, little ones, and overwhelmed by my home (and possibly my hormones too!) And let us not forget our adversary who would like me to believe I am unfit and disqualified from serving the Lord this Christmas.

Please pray for me, for my heart, that I would carve out the time not just to "work on the talk" but to worship Him. Abiding in Him is the key, I know that, here in my head; pray that it might sink to my heart as I sink down on knees.

honestly,
Wendy
