I'm not one to share what I am about to share, and as you read you'll probably understand why, but we wrote a prayer of surrender and I just thought I would share what I wrote Friday night.
"God, I want to serve you completely. I want to live my life 100% for you. Help me to not be selfish, or scared, or lazy. Help me to not think I'm better than somebody else. Show me my brokenness and my need for you daily, hourly, every moment. Keep me from the thought that I don't need, that I don't need you, that I don't need others, that I don't need help, that I don't need encouragement. Don't allow me to ignore the issues that really hurt. Don't allow me to wear the mask that so regularly use. Keep me from being arrogant and not allowing others to minister to me. I am fragile and breakable; help me live my life not afraid to show just that."

Hey Bubba!
I'm glad you and your kids had a great time! It sounds like it was a great conference, and a great opportunity to evaluate one's life! I hope some of your kids had wonderful prayers like yours. You are such a great role model to young kids, including me. i love you
Being Vulnerable can be an asset. It makes you more real to people, then they can relate to you, open up to you, trust you with "Their" vulnerabilities.
I will pray with you that "Your" prayer will be answered and that you will be obedient to God's response.
I love you, Mom
This is great, Kirb! Love you.
