Hear my thanks, oh God!
Each day I go to work and you are there.
Even when I don’t know you are, you are.
Hear my praise oh God!
The quietness that comes to me is from you.
The calmness after the panic is from you.
Hear my prayer, oh God.
Make me willing to be closer to you every day,
Whatever that require of me.
Hear my words, oh God.
Only you can fulfill these daily needs,
And every day I must give myself to you.

I play piano, write, publish, and struggle with being as good as possible at things I do. My husband has recently went from being a full-time pastor to a full-time hospice chaplain. (Compassionate Care Hospice of Alexandria) Life changed drastically, and I am still in the I can’t believe I really have time for myself stage. I have read everything I can get my hands on and am taking a break from all that has stressed me. God is good and faithful. +
We attend the First United Church of Alexandria and are slowly getting involved with its opportunities for service. Our Sunday School Class is wonderful..
Life has changed again, and we have come full circle, returning to Oklahoma City, Ok where we began our life together. We have a good place to live, family is close, and we are walking new paths physically and spiritually.
Again, God remains faithful and has led us to a church that accepted us and has extended opportunities for us to serve.
My life-long dream is to minister to people I will never meet. And my final goal in life is to be used up. When all is said and done, and I am no longer ‘in charge’ or able to appear in public, I will have given everything I have to give, and be content to let the world come to me.
