I just finished watching Adopt A Highway with Ethan Hawke https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8970448/
Just so many emotions come up watching this. I realize just how much like this character I am. So lost. Not sure what the proper responses should be. Everyone else seems to know what to do and how to do it - how to act. How to respond. How alone in the world I have always been. And not. I haven't been alone. I've always had Jesus.
I remember going through the bad things during childhood and a little voice saying that I just need to stay still and get through this and then everything will be okay. I still hear that voice to be honest with you. Don't get me wrong. I know things can go wrong. I just know that 'this' isn't all there is.
I'm 61 and I want to live by the ocean. I want my feet to be in that white sand and feel that blue water. But I don't want to be away from my family. I need those kids like I need air.
Now that I can't drive freely without worrying when the next panic attack will hit my traveling has been curtailed. I wish that I had a partner to travel with. Someone to love God and talk about Him with. Someone to serve with. But then I remember that I'm not alone. Scriptures say that Jesus is preparing a place for us that is beyond what we can imagine. I want to stay faithful. Not just so that I can have that reward but because He has been faithful and that is what He asks us to do.
On this day the Lord has made . . .
As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.
So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Prayer List
- Thank you Father thank you.
- Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
- O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
- God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
- God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
- God please guide the leaders of the world.
- God please heal my children.
