Help, Thanks, Wow

Sometimes when you read a book I think it's very healthy to have a highlighter in hand. And that's exactly what I had when I started the book help thanks wow the three essential prayers by Anne Lamott.  I'm not quite done with the book yet. But I can tell you that what I have read so far has been very invigorating. She talks about prayer and it's power.

After reading the book and looking back. I found myself not necessarily demanding in my prayers but maybe not asking for quite the right thing. I know now after reading this, I am just going to ask for help. Help me find that right job. Help me raise good boys. Help me understand people whom I love yet don't understand. Help. A powerful word. Help me feel empowered and encouraged. Help. 

Thanks. That's easy right? More times than I care to admit I maybe don't announce my gratefulness. Like, thank you for putting your clothes on on the first time that I asked. Or thank you for this amazing day surrounded by my friends. Or thank you for our companionship today. I really enjoyed talking and doing a whole lot of nothing. Thanks. With these two simple
Chapters I feel as though it has transformed my week. Looking at things differently. Now to finish the WOW chapter. I am sure it will be as amazing as the first two. 

Now... Help me get motivated to clean today. Help me have precise words when applying for a great job. 

amen
