Dear diary..

Well, some good news! My youngest has got a place at the local high school starting in September. Currently she and her older sister get up at 6.20am to catch a bus at 7.35am to get to school. We are praying that our older daughter will get into the local high school from September too - as that will be much easier for us as a family. For starters, it is me that gets them up, so I'm up at 6.20am too :( And I can't handle lack of sleep.

This Week's Prayer List

1. God to be evident by His presence in all that we do - as a family, and as individuals within our daily lives. For God to guide, lead, direct, giving wisdom in grace and mercy.
2. My wife to know more of God this week, being released into that which she was created for.
   
3. A Sales Director for work, (the right one), account managers/sales guys - asap
4. License revenue before end of March (our year end)
5. Wisdom regarding house (extension/building work), car, money
6. Those connected to us ref mission/church
7. Good deep friendships for my wife and I

Random thoughts - my neighbour

I arrived back after dropping one of my daughters off yesterday to see an ambulance over the road. I wandered over and found out that one of my neighbours had slipped a disc and was in absolute agony. As I stood there asking his wife whether they were ok, I thought, do I offer to pray for him? Then I thought, how many times have you prayed for healing and nothing has happened. Not only will you ruin a potential relationship, but you'll put them off God, and they'll think you are a crackpot.

Was I right not to offer to pray for him there and then because long term relationship is more important reference sharing the gospel with them, than risk ... not sure what.. relationship, credibility? Remember, he who wins souls is wise..

Random thoughts - I'm tired

I need a min of 8 hours a night. That, along with having a teenager who now wants to go to bed after I do, and needing to get up at 6.20am to get them up/to school (I drop them off at a bus stop around a mile away at 7.35am). Then if my wife is feeling amorous.. it can be that I only get seven hours, and I'm absolutely dog tired..

Lord - please help both girls to get into the local school! It will be so much easier for us all.

And when I am tired, I find it very much more difficult to spend active time with God! Preferring to write my online journal than actively in faith pray..
