This is an unusual quiet time for me today because it is early in the morning and I am the only one awake in the house. I just couldn't sleep so I decided to spend this time with You. The stillness and quiet is so refreshing and peaceful and I am in awe as I look out my window in my room. The sunshine is reflecting on the trees as they blow in the wind and it is beautiful.
The prayers flooding my mind are for me to, in a sense, be You to my kids today and everyone else for that matter. I want them to see You in me with my words, thoughts, actions, reactions, etc. I pray that I can truly connect with my kids today and meet their needs, challenge them, and make them smile. I pray to be in tune with Holy Spirit within me. I pray that my husband be bold and confident, yet humble at work today. I pray that he feel loved, supported, respected from me because he is my rock and he always, well most the time:) has the right, noble advice that makes sense. I pray that he continue to be a good, righteous, wonderfully engaged and involved daddy.

I have wanted to spend some time reading Titus 2:3-5 because I was really impacted by it in the sermon this week. I'm not sure if I classify as the "older women" discussed in this passage, but the truths sure apply anyway. I listed the action points listed for these godly women so that I can focus on these today...
- reverent in the way they live
- not slanderers
-not addicted to wine
-teach what is good
-train younger women to love their husbands and children
-self controlled
-pure
-busy at home
-kind
-subject to husbands
-behave so that no one will malign the word of God
