Hey Friends,
I don’t usually do this, but I find myself in need of the people God has placed in my life. I will officially graduate with my Bachelor’s of Arts in Communications in June ’09. To some of you, you may not think this is quite a big deal, but for me, it is huge! I have been in school for about seven years now, trying to finish a four year degree =) What the heck, right? It is something that I want so bad, and so many times I felt like throwing my hands in the air and giving up. But God knows my heart and my desire to earn that degree, and he has been so gracious in enabling me to keep going and here I am, with three quarters left. I struggled my first few years with having the confidence to go to college, but God has been so amazing to me and reminded me that through him, I can do anything.
I am asking whoever would like to, to pray for me this year, that I would not be too anxious for June to get here. I want to continue putting God first in all I do and give him the glory for any accomplishment I might receive. I ask that you would pray that I take one day at a time, and remember to count all of my blessings that I have right in front of me. Pray that I continue to be a world changer, a wife that would bring glory to God, and a friend available to offer help to anyone who needs it. I don’t want to get so caught up in that light at the end of the tunnel, that I forget to focus on today. I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who encourages me and pushes me to achieve my goals on a daily basis. His hard work is a huge part of why I will be able to graduate, and for that, I am so grateful.
I know my heart is anxious right now, because along with finishing school, I am getting that baby fever! When you are married to a man who loves the Lord and whom you know will make an amazing father, it is really hard not to want to pop out some little ones! So, I ask for you to pray also for me in this area. I want everything to be in God’s perfect timing, not in mine. I want God to speak to my heart and remind me that all of these thoughts in my mind are completely out of my control. I want to be reminded that nothing is certain in this life but him, and it is there that I know I will find peace in my heart.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it’s own” - Matthew 6: 33-34
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” - Matthew: 16: 24-25
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I especially thank you if you would remember to pray for me. I know that God puts people in our lives for a reason, even if we don’t always see them. I want to make myself available to pray for you also. If you have anything specific that I can be praying for you in this season of your life, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I often pray for my friends as a whole, but I would love to know what I can be praying for you specifically. My e-mail is Mindyclark0803@yahoo.com Remember, we are all in this together! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Mindy =)

You are going up on the mirror!! In my bathroom I have 3x5 cards with everyone that I am praying for on them! YOU ARE ON THE MIRROR AS SOON AS WE GET HOME!! Love you lots!
Kathaleen, You are so strong and smart and I know you will get through this difficult time. I pray for you always and I know you will do well in school. It may seem like a lifetime away, but I promise it will go fast. My last year of school flew by and I couldn't believe when it was finally over because then I missed it. Cherish school, your teachers, and your classmates because once they are gone, the real world kicks in. I know all about the baby fever so pray that we both avoid getting pregnant because WE want to and wait for God's timing. I think he has something special planned for us! Maybe we'll both have July babies in 2010!!! What great birthday presents for best friends! I love you and know that I am praying for you every day. Also, I so wish I could be there for your graduation, but due to work I cannot. Remember though to let me know when your spring break is and I will fly out then.
You are on my daily prayer list.
I know its hard to see that little light at the end of the tunnel, and you will get there. You have so much perseverance and strength in the Lord, He knows the desires of your heart, and he says "Let your requests be made known to me...". You and Marcos will be such great parents one day, but remember not to look so far into the future, that, that is all you see. Remember God has you going through things today, and tomorrow, to prepare you for those wonderful, exciting things to come. What does He want you to learn today, that will help better prepare you for trails tomorrow may bring?
Hey Mindy. You are going to do great this year. Enjoy your time at CSUSB. I know I did. It will be over before you know it and then you're think, wow, that went by fast. Everything will come in time. I'll be praying for you. Love ya.
Mindy,
I will be praying that you will not be anxious, will persevere and will be strong in these coming days. Focus on your task at hand, knowing that you are preparing yourself to best serve Him when it is time to be blessed with a child. I am so proud of your accomplishments thus far!xoxo
I will pray that you will see God's will in your life right now.
I know it's hard when you're wanting a baby, know that it might not be the right time, and wishing things were a bit different in life.
Hang in there. It'll be SOO worth it to be patient and live out what the Lord has planned in HIS timing.
Thank you ladies, so much. You all are such a huge part of my life and I know I couldn't do it without your continued prayers and support. Love you all!
Mindy - you are such an inspiration! I know that God has amazing plans for your life. I'm praying for you!
Much love,
Cyndi
