They're back!

The worries that is...

God, I can't help but be distracted all morning thinking about Marty's roof. I know its no big thing, and I know you really blessed me yesterday by helping me get so much done. However, I've managed to screw up Thanksgiving royaly for everyone.

Mom and Dad are already trying to work out their feelings about this whole "issue" that we've been going through, and now to tell them that we might only be able to come for Saturday evening and then Monday morning?

And Helen worked so hard to get Sunday off so we could all go to her church event as a family, and now to tell her we can't come? And Leny! She was so looking forward to the visit, she'd be very disappointed!

And its all my fault.

I shouldn't have taken on this roof this late in the year. I shouldn't have said "OK" that we start it on Monday (should've left it to next Monday maybe?) I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have...

Oh Lord, calm my heart! I hate disappointing people, and I hate causing others inconveniences because of my misjudgements!

But, Lord, you have helped me before and you will again. Give me strength, I am nearly out of it! Give me energy, I can't hardly stay awake! Give me wisdom, I can't hardly think straight! Give me the safety I need, and bless my work that it will go freely, unhindered by mistakes that would cost me great time. Help me to work speedily and yet safely. Give me wisdom to forsee things that may go wrong in order to avoid them.

Lord, you've never given me reason to doubt. I asked you for a miracle (getting the roof done before the weekend), and you've helped me get a really good stab at it last night. Why should I doubt that you'll continue helping me today and tomorrow? Forgive me for my doubts.

Thank you, Lord, for your mercy, strength, wisdom and energy that you will give me. Help me to get this roof done before the weekend. Thank you.
