| Clean out the ClutterI am writing on xanga to have some accountablility... I don't even know if anyone reads my blog any more... I really don't even have time but I have got to get the clutter out of my house and have my bedroom back. I am asking God for extra energy and for non laziness today... the thing is I really don't want to do it... for fear of it taking too long and getting rid of stuff... I do not need stuff in my life... I really want more time to focus on my relationship with Jesus and this stuff keeps hounding me... Purge has to take place... I am not a pack rat but seems to me like all my stuff is out of control.. One room at a time.. today my bedroom/bath then the kitchen today...
tomorrow my kids rooms upstairs. Friday... downstairs. I want to be able to accomplish this this week... Thank you Lord for help.
Does anyone know how I feel?

| The Answer to Urgent Prayer Calls for Urgent PraiseIt is so cool to see God at work... He is so working in my life and it is exciting! I am writing to all of you to beg of you prayers for me each day while I am in ElSalvador. Would you please commit to praying EVERY day for me Feb. 23rd through March 3rd?
so cool to see how what I am studying in the bible right now is so practical for my life right now. He really does stun me and blow me away how much He loves us. Our bible study is in Daniel and we are in the 2nd chapter and Daniel and Hananiah,Mishael, and Azariah pleaded with God for an answer to the kings dream. They did not want to die...
I am asking that you plead to the Lord that I would be an effective witness for Jesus. That justine would be left at home and that i wouldl be ready to serve and love and shine for Him. On the 2nd day this week Beth Moore asked if you had a few people that you could count on to pray for you and I thought how blessed I am so I just want to thank you for making that investment. Here is the verse to look up right after reading this in Daniel.
James 5:13-16
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. [14] Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: [15] And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. [16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Here are the things that I ask of you to be praying.
1. I am to start my period this week... Yucko! The worst of it is that there are not many places to use the restroom and we have to carry tissue with us if we need to use facilities outside of the hotel! I am a little concerned. It should be over the first part of the week.
2. Like I said earlier, that I would leave my flesh behind and thing of others higher than myself.
that I would be usable, teachable and that my face and actions would shine for Jesus so others would want what I have.
3. That I would relate well to my translators and that there would be enough translators for our large team coming. That the message would be transfered and that when I open my mouth to speak that Jesus would put the words needed...
4. That relationships would be good on the trip... I was not at the meeting when we were setting up roommates and thought I was rooming with Toni Cona but Phil asked me to room with two teenage gals... I am excited about the opportunity but that could also be exahsting ... in a good way. I know that GOd picked this out. To be honest I am struggling with that decision a littlel bit. Not a great deal but a little.
5. Pray that I would notice people and that I would see them as God sees them and that I would have such a burden for the lost with a sense of Urgency!
6. That I would be bold.
7. Pray for energy.
8. Pray for us not to get sick.
9. Please pray for my family... especially the kids... they are already concerned. I don't think I have ever been away from them for this long
10. Pray for me to make time for Jesus each day privately. To have personal time of prayer. Anytiime out of the routine makes this hard for me.
I will be praying for you too. I thank you so much for taking next week and praying for me.
I love you.
justine...
These are the verses I am trying to memorize ... Please pray them as I do.
Daniel 2:20-23
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: [21] And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: [22] He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. [23] I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

| Boy it has been a long time since I have written... Just so very busy. I am working almost everyday with the Catering and seems like just like everyone extra busy. I just want a day to stare at the Christmas tree and work on my Christmas crafts. I have so much to do and I am starting to stress over it. Oh well.. I am committing this to prayer! Trying to finish the shopping and I am making many gifts for my friends. Thinking of having a Cookie exchange on Thurs. the 21st if anyone is interested. I know, random thoughts. Love you all... May God richly bless you this week. Hugs!
