Last Sunday my pastor talked about letting God have freedom in our lives and one of the things he said was to pray "Lord, break my plans." So I prayed that this week... and God answered. This is one of those prayers that you really need to think about before you pray it.
I was supposed to be visiting my brother and his family in Kansas City right now. Then along came Hurricane Rita. They begged me to stay at work and given the situation, I didn't feel right leaving. Still, it was very hard and disappointing.
I've been thinking a lot about all of this and what it means for me to be able to pray that prayer and mean it. I'm a total planner. As a matter of fact, I'm in my element when I'm planning. So to pray this prayer is a real challenge for me. I'm asking God to help me in this area because it seems that this is something He is really pressing on my heart.
Sorry I've been such a poor blogger lately! Hurricane Katrina has worn me out and by the time I leave work my brain is pretty fried.
Thanks for your prayers and please continue!
