Prayer Requests

I don't know who (if anyone) reads this blog, but I figure I may as well as throw some prayer requests out into cyberspace (actually, I'm at school right now and we are on break and I figured it was a good use of my time instead of watching the newest season of Project Runway).

So, what are the prayer requests on my heart?

-I need God to soften my heart towards one of my roommates. It was my birthday recently, and she didn't reach out on the day of my birthday and didn't communicate with me whether or not she was going to attend a birthday event that I had planned for the following day. Overall, I feel disregarded and hurt. It's one thing if you don't live together or if you just simply forget - heck, life happens and that's totally normal. A small part of me wonders if she just intentionally didn't reach out.  I guess I'm disappointed because I've tried to be intentional about different important dates in her life and I guess I just feel a bit like our friendship has taken a seat on the back burner. Maybe, I'm blowing this out of proportion and I probably just need to sit down and talk to her and communicate my feelings instead of being distant towards her. Maybe I'm being emotionally needy and infantile, but I can't help but acknowledge that these things matter to me. Pray that my heart softens and that I can be loving and gracious.

-I went to Chicago Tabernacle and recently, I've had this strong desire for a prayer buddy. Interestingly enough, a lady came and prayed for me and she prayed for just that. 

-Pray for my cousin Eunice, who was diagnosed with breast cancer and just went and got a mastectomy done the other day. Pray that she experiences the deep love of God and healing. Pray for Kelly and Dennis, two peers from my cohort. Both of them just lost their fathers to different heart conditions. Pray that the Lord would meet them in their grief and loss.

-I am completely done with immersion - the next time I step foot on a unit will most likely be when I am a certified RN. I'm in the middle of wrapping up my capstone project - pray that God would use the small seeds of protocol implementation that has been set into action through my work to expand clinic-wide. 

-Pray for next steps. I'm approaching this next season with a 'palms up' mentality. God, my life belongs to you - do with it as you will. 

Thanks, cyber buddies (whoever you are).
