Yesterday morning we got up early and went to a breakfast for The National Day of Prayer.  It was at a hotel on the beach and simply lovely.

When I got dressed it didn’t occur to me that I might match the decorations.

We prayed for our city, our country, and our world.  I hope you don’t mind but I also said a prayer for you and I.  This prayer is for all the women who, like me, are stumbling along in their quest for health.

Dear God,

Thank you for creating us as us.  Help us to see ourselves and others as You see us.  Help us to forgive ourselves and others as You forgive us.  Help us to see beyond the the mirror on the wall or the number on the scale.  Help us to see beyond the labels and hurtful words.  Help us to see beyond our fears and see the potential You so generously give to us.  Help us to realize our dreams even the secret ones that only You know about.  Strengthen our bodies, our minds, our spirits.  Help us to see our place and purpose in this crazy puzzle of life.  Thank You for your steady and unwavering love.

Amen.

Ummm….I hope that wasn’t too awkward.  Love you guys!  Have a great weekend!

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn
