Just feeling a bit like Stefani's gorgeous silhouette of the woman with the elephant on her head...not the gorgeous part, but the elephant on my head part. Lots of things around here seem to be weighing heavily on my mind. Things that seem to huge for me. I know now that this happens to me when the seasons change. And fall has not gotten comfortable in this part of the country. It is 75 degrees here in Virginia, the boys are running around in shorts and t-shirts with me planning for the upcoming holidays. No wonder I feel a bit incongruent.
So, I put together a bit of flickr inspiration to snap me out of it.
It did not work, but did make me want to get the camera out for the first time this week. That's a good thing as I feel last week was an off week for me over at Six.
And then it happened. I got an email from my good friend Joe. It included an attachment with prayer requests from several of the kids from the Casa Bernabe orphanage in Nicaragua that we help. I thought I might share a few of the 40+ requests here if you don't mind...
- Prayer for my mother to come and see me and play with me. I want to visit my mother. Pray that I would do well in school and one day become a lawyer. Pray for my family and that I would be a good girl, a good friend and do well in sports.
- I want prayer for our bakery; I have a vision for this place and we are working very hard, we want to see it be more effective and see God provide the support and tools for this business to grow.
o I want my mother to come and see me so she can play with me; I want to be a good student and a good girl. - Prayer for my classes and my family; specifically for my mother, that she would be in good health.
- Please pray for my family, my brother and my friends because I miss them.
OK, I got it...thank you...Funk over.
