my recent prayer.

well God has certainly been good and been easing some of my anxiety about haiti.

love the power of prayer!

but as i've been praying, i have had a lot of 'little men' on my heart.

the twin i babysit for (10 months old) and a friends baby, brayan, who was just born 3 days ago.

this has been my prayer for them....and every young man, in that case.

and i even pray this over my unborn children.

dear Lord.  i thank you so much for this little men that i have been so blessed to know.  lord, i pray that as they grow, they learn to love You with all of their heart.  i pray that they run so fast and so hard after the cross.  i pray that they can see and feel You in real ways, and that they so intimately feel Your love for them.  i pray that their hearts are not hardened to You or Your word.  i pray that the treat women--and anyone they encounter--in a way that is honoring to You, not honoring to our culture.  don't let them be luke warm, but give them a hunger and thirst for You.  help them to turn to you in the hard times of their lives, and know that You are the only thing that truly satisfies.  i pray You use their parents as examples of how to love and serve You in all areas of their lives.  lord, i thank you for putting me in these little men's lives, and i praise you for the young men {and women} you will place in my life someday. 

i just can't wait until i can pray this prayer over my own babies. i know God's timing is perfect, and i can't wait until that perfect timing is revealed. 

Lord, i thank you for the desire to me a wife and a mom, and i pray that you give me patience until that time comes.  i pray that you help me to be faithful where i am at today so i can best serve you with where i am at.  i love you!  and i can't wait to love my little babies someday!  bring it soon, if it's your will.  Your precious daughter--who sometimes can't believe the worth You hold on her.
