Draw my eyes to you, Lord.

I haven't had much time to blog lately, or to even read my bible. Today I was reading in Genesis and was reading about Rachel and Leah and Jacob. Rachel had beauty, and Leah didn't. Rachel had Jacob's heart, but again Leah didn't. Leah thought that by giving him son's, his love would grow for her. But it didn't. So she kept on having babies, thinking that each time would be different. She could give him something that Rachel could not, but that still did not help her win his love.

at the bottom of the page it had a prayer : Lord, the next I look to some person, thing or idea to complete me, draw my eyes to you instead.

I think thats a great prayer we should all memorize, and add to and pray with emotion. I know personally, I'm always looking at cameras that I think I HAVE to have, or at clothes or toys that I think the children HAVE to have. Or at things my husband HAS to have. And I know its not like those things would complete us in any way, but instead I should be looking for ways to draw us all closer to the Lord. I am trying to teach the kids every day out of the bible I got for them. But its hard, Taylors only 3 and Ryder is 17 months. They don't really pay much attention. But I am trying. And with DAvid its a different story. I try to randomly talk to him about this stuff and sometimes he listens and sometimes he doesn't. I just pray taht I can continue to help lead him to the Lord..
