Spackling...

Hola mis amigas!

We've been eyeing our "permanent" home, waiting to move in. We heard that it had some cracks in need of repair. Mostly, they are just cracks in the stucco, and so they need spackling - or something similar (keep in mind I know next to nothing about home improvement). It seems our house isn't the only thing...

Soy triste, por que mis amigas no estan aqui. (I'm sad, because my friends aren't here)

Like Pastor Bil often suggests, I'm making an "ask" of myself: I need some spiritual spackling. I've been working hard to keep them covered with pretty stuff, but dang if they aren't showing through. Can you mix up some for me? I need that special formula, the one Paul suggested in Phil. 4:4-9, extra strength, so it resists cracks... so I can spread it all over, anytime I need it.

I'm working on the strokes I've watched so many experienced work-women demonstrate. I'm struggling to replicate the peace I've felt before... that peace which comes as I walk in His will.

I'm humbly asking, then, that you'd pray for me. I know that only God truly knows what's going on, so I won't limit His will by asking for a specific prayer. I am grateful for my loving and caring friends who will help me do the messy work... mixing up that spackling that I am in need of spreading.

That is so cool! The past two days you have constantly been on my mind. I feel God saying, "Pray for your dear friend. She is in a new place with all her family and friends far away."

So I've been praying for you! I've been wanting to call and talk with you, but I never know when is a good time. Could you post a few days and times when friends can call? Post it on the sidebar of your blog, so it stays.

I pray Jude 1:2 over you: "Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance."

love ya!
