Spiritual Direction Meeting - 1/13/2011

Feel like I am not worthy to receive God's appropriate grace.
  • Fear of failing Brett, Tracey, Jordi
  • Feel the need to make up for lost time with Brett
  • May need to consider one-on-one counseling with Brett further down the line.
Need to set boundaries for time with family members-- Brett particularly, because of burden of trying to make up for lost time is superceding care of self (need of sleep/rest, taking care of bills, etc.).
  • Results in physical and emotional ability to effectively care for everyone in my family.
PRAYER FOR THIS TIME:
  • That I would have the courage to have the "tough" conversations with Brett (fear of failure, fear of letting him down, burden of lost time).
  • That I may be schooled in His love, and from it that I would be able to love.
Lord, you know I cannot do this without You. Please send your Holy Spirit into the chambers of my heart that it may overflow to the mind, body and spirit. You have blessed me with a loving wife, boy in need of familial love and a beautiful little girl full of joy. I just want to be a good steward of what You have placed before me. Let me overcome the accusations of the evil one who tells me, "You failed," "You're not good enough," and "You've let people down." It our weakness, You are strong. I love, You, Lord.
