This Week

Today I watched Dear John.
I'm feeling melancholy as I think about the past year.
Outside my window I see darkness.
Something that's inspired me recently is my sister.
The prayer of my heart this week is that God would mold me into the me that He created me to be.
I am creating an awesome scrapbook of my wedding, although at this point most of my creative "awesomeness" is still in my head and not actually on paper.
I am reading Revolution In World Missions.
I am thinking about betrayal. 
A spiritual lesson I'm learning is how important it is to spend time with God daily and allow Him to direct my marriage. Sometimes I feel like my life is being burned by fire, but then I think of The Crucible, a play that I read in high school and how God is refining my life and my marriage through the trials, making us stronger. He is giving me an opportunity to grow and to cast off the impurities. 
My goal for next week is to improve my prayer life. I want to start praying at all times and in all situations, not just when I feel I need God's help.
