Post the first

So, here I am. I suppose I ought to let you know the exact purpose of this blog- and here goes that trying. Today, I hurt. I feel lonely and useless and when my friends are hurting, I hurt that much more. I believe that nothing can solve this but talking to the man in charge and that that man is God. I know He wants to hear our troubles and joys and sins and victories and this is a way for me to share those things. No one person is perfect. There are so many things I have wrong. There are so many things I want to change and that change comes through allowing God into your life whole-heartedly. I truly believe that. And so, being a twenty something whose life seems to be on autopilot without much direction, I will pray. I will pray for my friends, my family, my country, my co-workers, my sanity, my prince charming who I hope will come for me one day and for you dear reader. However you stumbled across this blog is not important hopefully you will find hope in my hope, comfort that you are not alone and say a little prayer yourself.

He is always listening!

Dear God, 
Today was...well long. I loved sorting through things today and finding all sorts of literary jewels. After work, I really enjoyed working out and am looking forward to making it an everyday thing. After church however, I became an emotional eater while looking on at two happy couples who seemed to not even notice I was there. I envy their happiness so much Lord, please help me overcome that. Now, I am home where turmoil has come in the form of a broken father/daughter relationship. Lord, I pray for that whole family and everyone who has become involved with that. I pray that you give them peace, patience and understanding and that forgiveness can occur on both sides. I pray for wisdom for everyone that is consulted about the problems but most of all God I pray for love to enter in. Unconditional love. 
Thank you so much for this day, that I have a home with a bed and food to eat. Thank you for the clothes on my back (and on my floor), for the car I drive and the friends I have. Lord, thank you for sending your son Jesus to take the blame for my sin, 
in his name
