New semester

Barrett is pledging a club at LCU this week. He has to memorize scripture, names of people etc. He is excited but challenged by the stuff the club has set before pledges. I'd like prayers for him to begin the year strong, to form social relationships that will sustain him 40-50 years from now, to be able to manage the singing and his academics at the same time.
Brandon is currently here. He is trying to take the PTSD meds less and be able to "handle" what happens in his life. He dislikes the fact that the meds "cause weight gain". He will leave for NY on Sunday after church. He loves his dog, Pullo, the Doberman. I think he is a good therapy dog. Please continue to pray for Brandon's legal difficulties.
At this point in my life, I do not want to work any longer. That is an impossibility, so pray that I will quit moping about that and find contentment in each moment of life. Discontent I think is useful to Satan.

Frieda,
I empathize with what you said about contentment. I am praying for that in my own life. I want to quit being consumed by the things of this world and be totally consumed with God. I have no clue what that looks like, or how to achieve it. The only thing I can think of is how Paul found contentment in serving God. I love the example he set for us in his walk with the Lord.

BTW, if you find that thing you can do without working that pays well, let me know! hee hee

Frieda, Thanks for posting!! I am so happy to know what to pray for you specifically...and Barrett, and Brandon.

I love you and your spirit. You make me want to be better, and the fact that you can be honest about your desires and what you want vs. what is encourages me.

And to Sarah,
Thanks for participating in this venture. I am happy to get to know you better and have you in my prayers.
love you both,
Leslee
