So after opening in prayer to begin my QT, I usually go right to Bible study, but this time I wanted to start by listening and seeing what prayers were laid on my heart. I won't normally write all these out, but thought I would this time.
-My best friend's mom came up immediately so I prayed for her to cling to righteousness for clarity and that she choose You to follow today Lord
-I prayed for myself and the fellow wives of my Life Group for help to submit, honor, support, respect, and love our husbands this week and for a general hedge of protection over our marriages
-I prayed for my mom to feel loved, valued, and empowered as she begins a new journey in her life with a potential new job, Also it has been on my heart the last 2 days to do a 5k with her on Mother's Day which is crazy for many reasons but I'll keep an eye on it:)
-I prayed for clarity for my future as a teacher as my license expires next year and I have to renew it which takes lot of time and money
-I prayed for another child to love, cherish, laugh with, and share Jesus with, Your will be done here Lord as with all the prayers

Study: Luke 24:13-35
After doing some studying, I thought it was interesting in Mark 16:10 that he mentioned the 2 might have been a part of the group where there was mourning and weeping. This may continue to explain their furthered distress and flee after hearing that He may have in fact risen from the dead. So to summarize their actions briefly...Weeping and Mourning - Heard news of possible resurrection - Couldn't believe it - Fled away from it all - Visited by Jesus on trip - Came back to group with changed hearts to share what happened
So God most likely opened up the Scriptures to them on the road (probably focusing on prophecies fulfilled) to prepare them to share the good news to people after He was gone. Just a thought.
I covet your prayers. you are a dear friend to me!
