Dear Father, we knew there’d be challenges… I ask you give Wregeley wisdom and humility. She has been pilfering slight amounts of money and left with my son to go back to her parents. I don’t know for how long — hopefully she’s back by tomorrow for our marriage home group.
I ask for grace to pray while they are away. It’s not’s God’s order to be woken up and have to scramble after the boy all morning instead of having prayer and Bible time. Also she has let him be left to his own way, administering no discipline — even though he knows right from wrong already, he consistently does the opposite. He was “demand fed” for over a year (which I warned her about), and now blocks our attempts at conversation, Bible study, prayer. I need more strength…
I’ve been doing the dishes, sweeping and moping the floor, and I feeel things are about 50% better, but she lets him relapse after getting back in some degree of order and politeness through gainful activity by just letting him wreck things, be clingy and basically unsatisfied unless he is nursing. He’s 15 months soon.
We parked the car, and have been walking and taking cabs. Her parents basically stole my truck and are unwilling to go 15 minutes to get a signature from the last owner of the car since the title “disappeared.”
🙏 TIME WITH GOD (One Year Old 😅), FAMILY WORSHIP, LEADERSHIP, SOFT HEARTS, PARKING, INTERNET... 🙌 MULTIPLY our "Alone Time" with God, HELP FAMILY WORSHIP to be FUN -- Help Me Pray, Hear, Obey, Love, Lead, teach myself, my wife, my son, and help others -- I ask for lasting peace, love and understanding: respect, favor, leadership skills for me, Eph 5:33, and helping skills for wife, Gen 2:18, following skills, patience and grace to gladly and cheerfully follow for her heart and my son's especially to be turned the right way for us BOTH to have increased parenting skills -- ability to make daily "game plans" prioritizing agenda and grace to pray and study together. GOD'S PRESENCE in our living quarters. NEED to find…
.
1) NEED to CONFIGURE a ROUTER and IINTERNET in Apartment and
2) CELLULAR PLAN SIM and ACTIVATION
3) GET CAR LEGALIZED
4) GRACE and FAVOR to get a copy of my Philippine DRIVER'S License reissued since I left my International License in the States with my Philippine SIM CARD 🙄…
WISDOM, guidance, deep mutual love, respect, PATIENCE and grace just make it easy cheerfully taking advice and PRAYING and TRUSTING we navigate this course to GOD'S GLORY -- this will STILL turn around in JESUS' NAME and become more maintenance/gardening and less reprogramming as mind renewal occurs (Rom 12:1-2, 3, Hab 2:2) --
May God give me ability to pray and listen to good teaching, for us to do it together, spiritual and physical protection and wisdom to raise child to fear God, honor authority -- grace to study, worship pray as family AND INDIVIDUALLY to evangelize, make disciples, bear lasting fruit and for BLESSING on MARRIAGE GROUP COUPLE Bill & Beth and all the couples and children -- Protection from evil one, thank you in Jesus’ Name
Please ask my son is protected — she doesn’t heed warnings several people have given us about kidnappings and she walks around through BAD areas with the boy without me and even now left without her phone. She hadn’t upgraded the Android Os in almost two years (which is a security nightmare) and she couldn’t wait for me to finish it — actually didn’t even tell me she was leaving, I just knew it.
I ask it would be a short time and this would just be a family visit — I really do need to get a lot of things finished and I’ll be the first to admit that apart from time in prayer and the Word I can’t get anything done right except from help from prayer from others.
That she comes back before cell group and we get some marital counsel and parenting classes. Please pray he, she and I are protected. I think someone came into my apartment — only I have a key and there were two pieces of raw meat in the toilet from the piece of steak in the fridge. She’d been gone since 11AM and I was in the house from 1 unil 6:45… I came back at 8:35 and there was meat in the toilet. There’s a camera near the door and they have less than 1:45 hrs of cctv video to look at (at regular speed) — said they’d let me know tomorrow.
The landlord we rent from’s family had some issues with others but it wasn’t them, I’m sure… Anyway, protection, protection, protection — in the Name of Jesus.
P.S. — Please ask my Dad and Stepmom grow in rayer and the word and stay safe — he’s fallen twice on the ice and is really getting old - old… Thank you in Jesus’ Name
