Well, I attended the annual family reunion on Saturday. I actually wasn't going because I had an outdoor concert but it got cancelled because of rain and the night before my dad called and said he wanted me there, so I went.
It is very difficult for me to be around that side of the family and the reunion brought up a lot of emotions.
It just seems to have spiraled today and I've got to pull it together for conducting tonight and tomorrow plus some music arrangement that need done. I really don't feel like doing anything.
I would appreciate prayers. Thanks a bunch!

Hi; I saw your post and this verse came to mind:

"In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul." (Psalm 94.19)

Thank you for the prayers. I direct couple of instrumental music groups in the community and also arrange for various group ensembles. End of summer and upcoming Christmas season is always challenging.

Praying for you friend. We love and appreciate you. :]

Thanks, Scotty, I appreciate it. Been praying for you also with all that you are going through.

Thanks, I appreciate the scripture Farouk and the encouragement.

YW; I do love the Psalms; my wife and I have been through them repeatedly together.

Thank you all for praying.

Skywriting's comment is funny and at the same time very truthful. There are many times I just wished my father would pass on.

For some reason the loneliness, grief and insecurities surfaced and I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I usually am level headed and not this emotional but I trying to process why this visit seems like the last straw.

Please pray for me!

I pray that God will ease your pain and sadness and will take your burdens from you.

Matthew 11:28-29 King James Version (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Father, I pray that this one would "encounter" You, whether they are saved or not. That they would come before You and focus on You in such a way as to shut out everything else for a time. May this encounter cut their troubles down to size. May this and future encounters enlighten them and strengthen them and put their values in an order that will cause them not to worry about or feel negatively about temporary earthly things, Romans 8:18; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Habakkuk 3:19. Amen.
