hey pulsers,
wat up?? how's it goin? man i really miss u guys, can't wait to see those refreshed faces in a few days...R U GUYS EXCITED FOR ANOTHER AWESOME SEMESTER!?!?!?! I definately am!!!!! I feel like God has some good things in store!! :) woo hooo!!!!
things at home have been goin good so far...it's so funny how when ur walking with God everything seems to go so much more smoothly and even though things mite be overwhelming you don't want to run away from them, instead u take it a day at a time! but when u're all over the place and scrounging for time with God and don't take time to slow down..things are crazy....<sigh> ...something i've been learning this last month! :)
i also have a prayer request: so as u all know this past semster i struggled a lot with letting go of my dad and his sickness, and his salvation...so i think after this semster and even praying through it this break i have come to let it go and let God do wat He has to do, cuz it's always been Him to change my dad's heart even up til now. He's the one who stopped my dad from drinking, He's the one who made him into a fathr figure instead of just a person in the house...He brought back my dad....and so now it's just been praying for his salvation and everything else will be fine..health wise he's doing ok, he looks better than he did during thanksgiving break..PRAISE GOD! :) but ya so bak to my prayer request, so before thanksgiving break, i felt God really convicting my heart to get me, my mom and my brother to go and pray for my dad not just by ourselves, but actually with him and for him. we've never done that before...and i thought it was gonna happen during thanksgiving break but it didn't seem like the right time. i didn't even get to talk to my mom and y brother about it. but this break i got to have a long really good unexpected conversation with my mom about it (soveriegnty of God and in His timing completely :) :) and i told her wat God laid on my heart...and so tomorrow nite (monday) we were gonna sit and pray for my dad. i don't know how it's gonna go or wat's going ot happen, but if u could all just pray that my dad's heart would be filled with love...the unconditional love of God that i know he has never felt before and doesn't understand cuz we've never really showed him enough.... and i guess if God lays something else on your heart to pray for go for it! :) but i guess just personally i really am asking God not to make this about me, and even as I pray for him and we each pray for him, that it would all bring glory to God.... i really want to see God work powerfully in my dad's life....and maybe this is just the beginning... i have no idea if all of this is going to follow thorugh and it's going ot happen, but God willing it will...
sorry that it got so long...thanks for reading and stickin it out! i'm so thankful that i can trust that u guys will be praying for me and that i can share this stuff with you! i love u guys! take care and see u soon....
