I soooo love Saturday. I slept in until 9 AM and then had plans to take Ashley to look at prom gowns but my back was killing me so we opted to stay home and go look at gowns next weekend.  I really can’t believe that my baby is getting ready for Senior Prom and graduation. It seems like just yesterday, she was starting Apple Tree Academy Pre-K classes. <sniff> She’s off to college next year. I’m not sure I am ready for that so how about I just change the subject? LOL!!

I was reading the prayer requests from a fellow prayer chain and I got so frustrated with one of the prayer posters. Sometimes it is so hard to reserve opinion and just offer prayers for the situation, which is what I usually do with this person but today I felt what I describe as righteous anger.

 This particular prayer poster has been praying for a man she used to sort of live with. I say sort of becuase he technically lived in his RV which was parked in her driveway but they shared a bed and her home. Last year she demanded he make a commitment and marry her but instead of tying the knot, he left.

Not only did he leave, he met another woman and got engaged!! Well, the prayer poster called him repeatedly and begged him to come back to her. She showed up at his home one day and his fiance was there and got very upset (understandably) and left. My prayer poster stayed the night. Well, to make a long story short, she requested prayer for this man to leave his fiance’ and come back to her even though he had repeatedly hurt her, lied to her, etc. Not to mention, HE WAS NOW ENGAGED!!

This has been going on for one year! The other day she posted a praise saying that he had called her and told her that he was still with his fiance’ but would someday come back to her and when he did, it would be forever. She praised God for the miracle. Hmmmmmm

Today she posted yet another prayer request telling all of us he lied and was just upset with his fiance and again asked for prayer for him to come back becuase she KNEW he was the one God wanted for her.

 Sorry, but after 8 years in heartbreak ministry I don’t see God’s signature on this one at all. Am I wrong for telling her I would pray for her to have the courage to STOP letting him hurt her? And also for her to love God and seek His presence in her life as she does this man who has no repect for her? What do you think? If I am wrong for praying those things instead of what she asked then someone, please… put me in my place.

It’s frustrating to see how many people love their mate more than they love The Lord.  I feel sad for The Lord becuase He loves us so much, even those of us that put him after the man in their life. He never hurts us, fails to make a commitment to us, or disrspects us, yet we treat Him like second string sometimes. Why is that?

I do pray this woman will realize that this guy is and has been playing her for a long time and I do still pray she will find the strength to love herself MORe than to allow someone like this guy in her life.

 Sorry to ramble about that; but I had to share.

It’s just after 11 PM EST here in east Tennessee and my husband will be coming home soon. For those that don’t already know, he;s a police officer and this week he’s on afternoons, which means I am on afternoons! LOL!! Rotating shifts are realllly tough on a police wife.

I’m off to get ready for my sweety but I will be back tomorrow!  Love you all!
