Lord...
Thank you for always listening. A Father who always understands who I am and always has a moment to listen means so much to me, Lord. On that note, please help me to keep a level head today. Waking up was not pleasant and I'm feeling tired...

Great King, who Was, Is, and Shall be...
It's been one of those days. You know, because You've been watching. Like you always do. Well, between getting over a cold, getting lost this morning, and how the normal work day stress, I came home today very, very, emotionally tired. Today was one of those days where I felt untalented, ungifted, and like I can't do anything right. Mom often says You make everyone perfect for their purpose in life, that You, the Great Potter, will use me to your will.
But how? And when? I'm almost 18 now, and I feel like adulthood is looming over me. I know what I want to do with my life, but I don't know what you want me to do with my life. People always say that You'll take lives in directions they never thought they'd go. Is that what You want for me? Or am I to have a normal life? Because normal isn't really my thing. I want to be out there! I want to join a protect and scream at congressmen. I wan to write a bestseller and amaze the world by giving the funds back to You. I want to raise a family as big as the Duggars, and share Your story as they have. But that's what I want.
Yahweh, I know that You have turned water to wine and that You have given the blind sight. But there are days where I think that those must have been so easy compared to leading me. I am such a pig-headed diva! I don't listen, I always want to be in charge, and I'll get lost in the woods before asking anyone for help. What use could Your kingdom have for me?
Luke 14:33 says" In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." Lord I want to be one who is willing to give up everything for you, but more often I am the man who built his house on sand. Sure sand looks nicer that a big, old, boulder. And yes, I'd love to bring my friends in to show them my castle on the beach. But this isn't about my will. It's Yours. help me to not care what you give me, Lord. As long as I am my foundation is on Your rock, I'll try to follow joyfully. And with your help, I will.
Your submissive servant-
Moriah.

To He who is Good but not tame-
While praying with one of my younger sisters tonight, I realized how much I've been letting my own prayers go slack.Please help me to see you as a friend to keep connected to on a day to day basis. Because you should be the one I think of day and night.
Love from-
Moriah

Dear Yahweh~I'm sorry I haven't written here recently. It's been more than two weeks! And so much has happened since then! Raquel came home, I turned 15, Elsie turned11, and even more! Today was my birthday party, and it didn't go as planned. But I know that YOU are in control and that you always have a plan unlike your unfaithful daughter who so often ignores Your Word! Lord, I've been thinking lately(dangerous business, I know), how in the Ginny Owens song, "Call me Beautiful", the first verse nearly describes me nearly to a T:
I've been waiting
For a hero who's brave and strong
Someone to love me
Someone to tell me I belong
So I pretend I'm satisfied
And I stand watching on the sidelines
Till You pull me into the light
And say, 'It's your turn now
welcome to your life'
And You call me beautiful
And say You've loved me all along
And You've always held the keys
to unlock my soul
Oh, You call me beautiful
Lord, why do you love me so much? You call me beautiful! You love enough to call me beautiful! Even me! For me, that is something inconceivable. I can't imagine someone who can see all of the sins I commit and what I think call me beautiful? Help me to remember your love at all times, especially when I feel so alone!
Your daughter, who You call beautiful,
Moriah

Groundhog Day, 2011
Oh my Lord~
Thank-you for keeping us safe during the blizzard and blackout, despite Margary setting her hair on fire and the hot water not quite working for a while. Thank-you for keeping my heart at peace throughout these last two days, Prince of Peace. Today was just wonderful! I got to talk with Raquel for about and hour and it was simply Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! (Yes it really did mean that much to me!) And in February, this month of Thankfulness, today I am thankful for a family who loves me even as I am, and who is nowhere near perfect, but wonderful just the same.
Yours, not my own,
Moriah

February 1st 2011 (short note)
Dear Lord~
I know it's usually my tradition to write every night, but today
has gone so unusually well, that I had to. I'm writing to thank your everlasting
mercies in letting us video chat with Raquel today. It has really lifted
my spirits!
Respectfully yours,
Moriah
