I am needing some serious prayer power over here!!

Life is just hard sometimes. Really hard. I am distracted and hanging by a thread of being "overwhelmed".

Strange words, coming from a gal who is usually all "zippity do-da" about life. Here is a snapshot of the past 10 days.

Hubby in Coronary ICU, because of his heart. Home now. (If you were not aware, Curt, had a heart attack and 5 by-passes in 2007)

Curt's step-dad, Rod Moser, went to be with his LORD last Sunday. We will deeply miss him!! Traveled to IOWA for visitation and funeral. Wonderful tribute to a Godly man.

Computer crashed last week. Total wipe out. Took a 2 hour road trip yesterday to get new one from our "computer guy" Did not really WANT to spend money for said new computer. Spent 6 hours yesterday and 3 today, setting up and trying to transfer information from old one.

Email issues for the past week!

My car is dead this morning!

YOU GET THE PICTURE....UGG!

I ask myself, "Why is all of this happening?"

It may be, because in 10 days, I leave for a European speaking tour. The women there need encouragement. And Satan would love to send a worn-out, stressed-out, overwhelmed gal to minister to them. Especially one who has been majorly distracted by the past events in her life, that she cannot focus and prepare!!!

Or, maybe, it is because I am a mother and wife. And Satan knows that if he can defeat me, help me fall into a pit of strangling circumstances, he will have a devastating effect on my family and myself!

So, what is a girl to do?

First, I have fallen to my knees countless times asking the LORD to sustain me. I have read HIS word for strenth and encouragement.

Next, I have asked for prayers of family and friends.

And thirdly, I have sought council from others (thank you MEGAN) on what I can eliminate in my schedule and commitments to help me through this jungle of events in my life.

Would you pray for me, dear friend?

Oh, by the way, I will be in Europe, April 18th-29th, Lord willing.
