Prayer Concerns

Here is a message from Facebook that I sent Mrs. T:

Hello,
I hope your cruise is awesome and that you have a great time with your friends. When we went to lunch a couple weeks ago, you asked if I would like you to pray for me, and so here are a few things I would love for you to focus on specifically (and anything else that you know I will need!):

I am nervous about camp's schedule and not running my day how I want and also about not being able to cook what food I want, so I am truly going to need to let go, stop trying myself, and rely on God's strength and wisdom that the world will not end if I do not feel in control.

Also, men. I am far from over Alex. I think about him every day and still have to turn the radio off if a song comes on that reminds me of him (and there are many songs that do). It feels like I will never get over him sometimes, it has been 5 months. At the same time, I do not want to get to camp and immediately start scoping out the male counselors; I want to be able to focus on the campers. I do not want to get distracted from God or the people that He has strategically crossed my path with.

And of course, I am concerned about breaking down or becoming uncontrollably angry or hysterical in a way that would hurt someone. That goes along with the control thing, though, I suppose.

And, finally, I will not see my sister until the 28th of July (she left last Friday, so it will be about a month and a half total of being apart). Although we are not as close as some sisters, it is hard for me to know that I cannot call her if I need to and she cannot reach me if she wants. She seems terribly unhappy and gets panic attacks a lot, despite the medication and counseling.


Thank you so much for your concern and your time,
Amy
