This is how I felt when I went shopping with my mom. Don't get me wrong I love and have missed my family, but it is just so different being the only one around who just off and on has odd feelings about things that are going on in the world. I don't even know if I am even explaining that right.

Just to give you an example: I went to Wal-Mart with my mom to night and we went to the isle that had gerbil food and there were these two guys who seemed to me that they were up to something illegal, so I went to someone who worked in Wal-Mart and suggested to him that he might want to keep an eye out on those guys. I knew that if I didn't do something I would have felt horrible.

One thing that just broke my heart was before we even walked into Wal-Mart I saw three young guys sitting outside smoking. I just felt the sudden need to pray for them. They were blowing smoke into each others faces. They are going to end up killing each other if they keep that going. Please be praying for them. I don't know what their names were, but God does and that is all that matters.

It is so different being home and noticing the way I have changed already.
My mom is asking me about how she should be having her quiet times, and I am encouraging her to start journaling. Please be praying for her, she is feeling she has wasted 50 years or so of her life thinking her relationship with the Lord was the way she wanted it. She has soon realized that she wants something so much stronger. She desires it to be an initimate relationship with her Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ.

Pray the Lord will give me the right words to say to encourage her through her relationship with the Lord.
