God, I failed you...again!

October 30, 2012

God, The view in the mirror right now grosses me out. Seriously. Over the last several weeks I have allowed things to get out of whack. Unbalanced. I am listening. Balance. That word just seems to haunt me. I desire it in every fiber of my being but I can't seem to manage it. Instead I let ...

God, I failed.

October 12, 2012

God, I need to admit something. Okay, what? Over the last few days as the reality of everything is starting to settle in I feel as if I have failed my children. How and why? I have been so focused on selfish prayers, my doubts, and worries that I have let go of pouring into them. Our daily ...

God, did you REALLY just do that?

October 9, 2012

God, I have been quite for the last few days. I have wanted to shout “Praise God!” from the roof tops but I have just felt the need to be still and seek how to respond with the utmost humility. Honestly, I have been almost paralyzed wondering if it is all real. Did You really just put all the ...

Dear God Letters

God, I really wanted THAT lime.

October 4, 2012

God, I was picking limes off our tree that just overflows with sweet little green gems and there at the tippy top, smack in the center, was THE lime I wanted. It looked so perfect! But I couldn’t figure out how to reach it. I wasn’t tall enough even if I had gotten a ladder. Plus, the idea of ...

God, it feels like 7th grade again.

September 20, 2012

7th grade Carey. Wow! I needed a brow wax. Hi God. Hi. I feel like I am in 7th grade all over again. What do you mean? I feel immature in my faith. I feel like I am praying like I did then. Explain. When I wake in the morning I feel like praying “God, if you will please, please, please give my ...

God, Don't let me forget.

September 18, 2012

God, I know I don’t say it enough but I wanted to say it now while I am thinking about it. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, and thank you some more for my sweet family. Thank you for all the giggles that fill our home. Thank for the tender moments I peeked in on between father and daughter ...

Dear God Letters

God, I feel guilty.

September 12, 2012

God, The other day I was feeling guilty for how much I need You right now. Really I should need You, like I do right now, all the time. But then You sent me a little reminder, in the form of one of my little people, how it works. As I was writing the other morning, early in the morning, before ...

Dear God Letters

God, You are pretty clever.

September 10, 2012

Last week I asked You for a sign. Just something that would help me to know that You know we are here… a reminder that I am not invisible. Those can be hard to see when you find yourself in the midst of a pity party. But sure enough, like always, You delivered. It just took me a few days to ...

Dear God Letters

God, why did you make tears?

September 6, 2012

Hi God. Hello. I have learned over the years to not ignore my tears. Good choice. One of my therapists always made me explain them away. “What do the tears mean?” she would say. I used to reply with an “I don’t know” but she was always quick to say “They mean something. So what do they mean?” ...
