Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Hey Y'all!

I am on a yet another Z Pack. Eye Roll.

I am having a lot of fun making new friends in the greater Austin area. NO LONGER A HERMIT!

I recently had a conversation with a friend about her prayer life. This is new for me, as I have gone most of my life with the "They will know we are Christians by our love" mentality. I never really discussed my faith, I tired to show it to others by word and deed. I have recently changed, perhaps "this little light of mine" is growing into a torch? Back to the friend. She finds it hard to talk to the Lord. I really admire her, she seems to walk closely with Jesus, but hearing she has problems with prayer took me back. I told her I would pray for her and for her to find a way of praying that works for her.

Now, I can admit I do not pray a personal prayer everyday, and when I do, I usually include my friends. SO that is what I want to work on this week. I want to pray everyday for my friends. They mean so much to me and I am lucky to have them. When they are happy, I am happy. 

In keeping with the 'being a better friend' motif, I have actively tried to be more of a listener lately. It has been difficult, but it has been nice. I feel more connected to my friends.

Okay, and I have been making an effort to find more ways to connect to my friends. READ THAT: I have taken up watching "new shows" that my friends watch. I would be perfectly content watching Dateline reruns all day, so yes, this is me making an effort. I now watch: Revenge, 666 Park Avenue, Parenthood (on Amazon Instant), Parks and Recreation (on Amazon Instant), and a few others. I also can't wait for American Horror Story to start back up in October.

It wouldn't be Sunday without some baking. Today I made Pumpkin spice muffins and Chocolate Pumpkin chocolate-chip muffins. James Paul ACTUALLY ate a chocolate one and liked it! Clearly they must be good.  I can't wait for breakfast!

I love you and I AM praying for you!
