Praying for Jen

Dear God,

I am excited for this day. I know that I should be excited every day, but unlike the weather forecast, it is is beautiful today. This worked out great because I can still go on a walk with Jen. I think that this walk will be good for both of us. I am hoping that I can get to know her more and ask that you will use me to be a witness to her. Likewise, I feel like I need to connect with other young moms so I have someone to talk baby stuff with. Please walk with us today.

The devotional today is about hiding sin. I am sure I have sin in my life that I have not fully confessed. I do not think that I am deliberately hiding them, but am not reflective enough to pinpoint them. When I ask forgiveness from my sins, I know that this is such a general statement. I know I should be more specific about the sins I am facing so that I can rely on you more to better help me with them. The ones that seems to stand out the most are:

1. Pride with raising up Kira my way which results in defensive conversation and me hoarding her from others, unwilling to let her go.

2. Effective use of my time at home - to challenge myself to be more salt and light to others - make me take initiative for meeting them.

3. Lack of trust. I think that occasionally I tend to doubt people... even K. As a result, I tend to worry much more than I need to. I also wonder about my future a lot (career wise).

4. Being thankful. I know that this is not a sin, but I think that a lack of sharing my gratitude for all the blessings you have bestowed on us is wrong. You deserve utmost glory and I want to be able to give you my all.

Please help me overcome and improve in these areas Lord.
