Wsup Ketchup?

Please Pray For Me

Home is not a restful place. I think the best way to describe it is that it’s a battle field. If my family isn’t staring at me weirdly, they’re debating with me. If they’re not debating with me, they’re talking amongst themselves about how wrong I am. 

Every time I come home I see their hardness and cynicism grow (or maybe I’m just growing in awareness or something). I don’t know how to respond. Sometimes I get really defensive and sometimes I get really angry. Sometimes I can stay patient but then I don’t know what to say. 

Home can be so discouraging. 

Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.—Matt 10:16

This is so hard. God, please work in my family. Change me so that I might be wise and yet patient. I want to be bold and courageous and mostly, I want to glorify you. Use me during our vacation time and watch over me.

Accent theme by Handsome Code

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.

Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
(Psalm 139:14-18; 23-24)

He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
(Micah 6:8)

I am a chemist at Carnegie Mellon University seeking to glorify God in everything I do. This blog is a part of my journey in this sanctification process.
