remember all the people who have requested prayer, then i have let too
many into my life."

i don't even know if i agree with that, but in my exhaustion it made
sense. if someone is not important enough to recall them in my
prayers, then i shouldn't have let them think i would pray.
the tricky part is that i now have as many friends here, that i have
never seen, as i do in my day to day life. last night as we were putting
groceries away, i heard myself say, "my friend joan posted the most
beautiful photo of a budding flower that looked just like a candle to
celebrate her anniversary."
hans didn't say it, but i know he thought, "does she have a friend
named joan?"
"yes! she lives in australia, and i visit her almost every day."
i was starting to sound like our daughter hailey, who when three
had imaginary friends named sarah and ashley. ashley smoked
cigarettes! :)
my point is that i am going to be more purposeful in my visiting
and praying . . . and promise of praying. then i won't feel guilty
at night for perhaps forgetting someone. i will just be convicted
of all the other terrible things i do!
love,
lea
