Dear God,

Happy Halloween!  Thank you for blessing Kerstin and me with a wonderful lunch.  It's nice to see my girl in the middle of the work day, especially during a busy day.  It keeps me sane and calm.  Thank you for blessing me with those things that get my mind off work.

Please continue to give me that strength to remain discipline in following your word.  Give me the patience and power to not put so much pressure on myself and not build up guilt that I get when I get lazy.  Help me overcome my pride and selfish acts.

Love,

Michael

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with athletic ability.  I don't know what I would do if I couldn't do the kind of workouts that Tim gives me.  Each time I get through one of those workouts it makes me feel confident in myself and I owe all of that to you.

I need you to give me strength to remain disciplined in growing a stronger relationship with you.  As I reflect on last week I felt I became lazy.  Because of that I may have loss a little balance in my life.  I am now realizing that if I am not trying to grow closer to you I will lose that balance that I need.  Please help me stay strong in growing our relationship.

Love,

Michael

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with everything that I have in my life.  Thank you for a fun and goofy night with my friends.  I need a night like that every once in a while, but I'd rather have Kerstin with me next time.  Even though she wasn't there I had a great time laughing with Semrad and Nicole all night. 

Thank you for blessing Kerstin and I with a wonderful last two days.  I couldn't have asked to spend better time with her this weekend.  I love her more and more the more time I spend with her.  Please continue to bless her and I with great quality time with each other and to keep growing with each other.  Please give me the strength to be the best person for her.

Lord, please help me not to lose focus of your and my relationship and help me grow with you.  You have helped me grow to be a great person and I want to continue to grow with you.  You teach me to be that person that I want and need to be, please help me stay connected to you.

Love,

Michael

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me a great night with my girl.  I had so much fun with her and all we did was hang.  And I couldn't have asked for a better start to the day than waking up and next to her and kissing her and snuggling with her.  You have truly blessed me with a wonderful person that I can be myself with.  I feel like you are really working on us and teaching us to learn from each other by being more open with each other.  Please continue to be with us as we learn to grow with each other, we need you.

Thank you for blessing JR Prototypes with a whole bunch of work today.  I was getting very nervous that this wasn't going to be a profitable month, but I still kept believing.  You provided us with the work that we needed.  Thank you for giving us a smooth meeting this morning and to be able to pursue other processes for our products.  I was very nervous about this meeting, but knowing you would be with me made me feel very comfortable.

Please give me the strength and confidence to manage Dustin a little better.  I feel like I might be being to light on him.  I know he has a lot on his plate, but sometimes I feel he takes advantage of my laid back personality.

Please continue to be with me and guide me along this path you have chosen for me.

Love,

Michael

October 22, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with wonderful people and a wonderful life.  Without you I would not have been able to find that balance that I needed to be happy and make other people happy.  Please help stay strong on the path you have created for me.

Please watch over the victims and their families of the shooting in Brookfield.  They need you.

Love,

Michael

Dear God,

What an exhausting weekend you blessed me with.  I'm not saying that in a bad way, but a very good way.  From Friday night class to grilling brisket with my dad and brother to going out with the boys to trying to play golf.  I can't thank you enough for all the good people that you have blessed me with.  I have faith in you and you will always have my trust.  Thank you for bringing Kerstin back home safely and protecting her on her road trip.

Please comfort and give strength to the victims and their families of the shooting in Brookfield today.  They need you more than ever right now.  Please watch over them.

I know we live busy lives these days, but I want to thank you for the time you provide us with, I truly value that time.

Dear God,

Thank you again for bless me with a wonderful group of people at Elmbrook.  I think I can now call them my friends because I remembered their names haha.  Thank you for an eye opening night tonight. It makes me realize that You and I have a long way to go in our relationship.

Please help me to process everything that we talked about tonight and seek a little more clarity.  Please continue to guide Kerstin and myself toward a foundation that can't be broken.

Love,

Michael

October 15, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful family.  Even though we all have our quirks I still love them.  Thank you for playing the song that was stuck in my head all day on K-Love right as I was driving home tonight, it put a big smile on my face.  Thank you for blessing me with Tim.  He certainly pushes me to be the best of my abilities.

Please give me the strength to act the truth of the bible.  I feel as though my mind has been a little foggy and I have been unfocused toward you, but I could be wrong.  I don't know, I guess I'm a little confused, but I don't know what about.  I might just be tired and need some sleep.  Please bless me with better dreams than last night.

Love,

Michael

October 14, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing me with a wonderful weekend.  I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  Thank you for blessing me with great friends and putting a wonderful girl into my life.

Please help Kerstin and myself find what our next song is going to be.  I trust that you have nothing but good things in store for both of us in the future.  Please give Kerstin the strength and patience to get through this week so she could have a fun weekend.  Please guide her dad as he fully recovers from his surgery.  Please continue to guide me as I continue to transform into the person I want to be and the person you intended me to be.

Love,

Michael

October 13, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for giving Kerstin and I an incredible few days together.  I can't tell you how happy she makes me.  I wish she was lying here right next to me right now.  Thank you for putting us on a great path.  Please continue to lead us on this path.  I know we are both happy and I want nothing more but always be this way.  She puts the biggest smile on my face.  I can't wait till the next time I see her, hopefully tomorrow.

Thank you for a fun night with Tim and Matt.  They are so funny and we have the greatest time together.  I could not be happier with who you are molding me into.  I am enjoying life much more and not worrying as much.  Instead I am looking forward to what is next and learning to embrace whatever is thrown at me.

Please continue to guide me with your light and keep giving me the strength to live the life y ou have always intended me to live.

Love,

Michael

Thank you for this wonderful evening with Kerstin. We are having so much and laughing like we haven't laughed in a long time. We make each other very happy.

Please keep us on a good rhythm.

October 11, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for blessing my with an opportunity to get to know, what seems like, a great kid.  I pray that I can teach him a few things and that he can teach me a few things.  Thank you for matching me with a great family.  His mom shows that she loves him dearly and vis versa.  Thank you for blessing me with a call from my girl.  Every time I get to talk to her I lover her more and more.  Thank you for healing my body.  I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger everyday, physically and mentally.

Please watch over Kerstin's dad tomorrow and protect him as he goes through his surgery.  It would be awesome to have him back with no stress.  Please give Dustin and I strength as we meet a very important customer of ours tomorrow.  Please bless me with some sort of yoga teaching skill tomorrow, I'm nervous and need comfort.

Love,

Michael

October 10, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for a very smooth meeting this morning.  I prayed for a smooth one and you gave it to me. Thank you.  I feel things at work are going to go a lot smoother and communication will be better.  Please continue to bless Dustin and I as we try to build our business.

Thank you for the energy at the gym today.  I was not looking forward to a back-to-back workout with Tim and spin.  Instead, with that energy you blessed me with I had a very enjoyable workout that put me in a great and happy mood.  Thank you for such a wonderful day and blessing me with happiness.

Please keep a close eye on my parents and the Wenzels, Jess, Chris, Kerstin, Kerstin's family (especially her dad on Friday), the dogs, my whole family and all of my friends.  Please keep everyone safe and continue to bless them.

Love,

Mike

October 9, 2012

Dear God,

As I reflect on the discussion I had with my church group I want to thank you for blessing me with those amazing people.  I feel you put me with that group of people for a reason.  Some of them have gone through a similar situation that I am going through now.  It was good to hear and reassuring to hear that I am not alone and that you have a plan for us.  They are definitely helping me learn to receive your gift.  The best part of all this was being able to share it with Kerstin and talk to her about everything.  The day/night felt complete after a long conversation with her tonight.  Thank you for blessing me with her.  Thank you for helping us stay strong and guiding us with your light.  I know that you know we're worth the fight.

Please continue to guide us as we take this journey together.  Help us learn to receive and accept your gift.

Love,

Michael

October 8, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for your everlasting love.  Thank you for helping me become the man I have intended on being for a long time.  With your guidance I am living much happier and have a sense of purpose.  I have learned to put all my faith and trust in you and will continue to until we meet.

As I go through this week with a lack of strength to workout please help me stay focused.  I noticed my lack of focus when I was reading my book today.  I had a hard time paying attention.  My workouts keep me focused and keep my head peaceful and clear.  Please release this pain from my legs and feet and help me get back to the gym.

It felt really great today to get back on track reading my book and doing my work for faith foundations. Please help me to stay on track and keep up on my work as I go through the week.  I don't like to get behind and have to rush and play catch up.  This work helps me stay humble and think clearly.

Love,

Michael

October 7, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for the best day today.  Thank you for giving me the strength, legs and mind to finish a strong marathon.  Thank you for a wonderful day with my best friend.  Everything that happened meant a lot to me.  It was fun to have a smile on my face the entire day.  Thank you for guiding me through the marathon and blessing all the runners with great spectators and volunteers.  It was so much fun.

Thank you for Kerstin.  It meant everything that she came and watch my race.  She is my greatest blessing.  It felt great being with her all day and just talking about anything and everything.  I pray that more of days like today are coming.  

Please continue to guide her and I as we try to figure life out with each other.  Please bless both her and I with happiness.

Love,

Michael

October 6, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go with Elmbrook to the rescue mission.  I had a lot of fun meeting new people and giving back my time.  It was really nice to connect with Henry in the kitchen and get to know his story and help him with his work.  That is one man that I will not forget and will think about a lot.  I hope him and I run into each other again.  That place is really amazing.  I hope you bless me with more opportunities to work there.

Please watch over Corey.  Kerstin said she may be having a hard time figuring herself out right now.  If you could bless her and comfort her and help her find her true self that would make a lot of people happy including her.

Please bless my body and mind with strength for all 26.2 miles tomorrow and watch over everyone racing and keep them safe.  Please give a little extra love to my ankle, it'll need it. I love you God.

Love,

Michael

October 5, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for all the blessings you have given me and for transforming me into the man you intended me to be.  You have set me up on a path on which I can not see myself deviating from.  I have never felt so great in a very long time.  Thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful family that I can depend on and friends that I can have fun with and have no drama.

Thank you for blessing me and putting into my life one of your greatest creations, Kerstin.  She means so much to me and she makes me so happy and I want to make her so happy.

Love,

Michael

October 4, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for that alone time in the cycle studio.  Even though I missed my friend and would have probably been a little more fun I had a great time dancing on that bike.  Great music!  You gave me a little more hope today with a lovely surprise phone call.  That definitely made my day and week.  It was so great to talk to Kerstin.  I don't know what to really expect with her right now and I don't really know where her heads at, but all I know is that it felt right talking to her.  I haven't really had that person to talk to about things that are going on in my life and I need someone like that.  If that person is Kerstin I would be so happy, but if it's someone else that would be great too.  I kind of wish I had that someone right now.

Please watch over me as try not to get sick and please keep giving that strength that my ankle needs.  I am trusting you and your way for me.  I know I may get impatient and frustrated at times, but I do know that you know whats best for me.  Please watch over Kerstin so she doesn't get sick and make sure she doesn't get those shakes when she gets hungry.  I worry about her and think about her.  Thank you for blessing me with wonderful people and a great life.

Love,

Michael

October 3, 2012

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me someone fun to hang out at the gym with.  I really need that in my life right now.  Thank you for keeping me patient.  I can feel myself starting to get a little testy with everything that is going on in my life.  I don't want to make someone feel bad by my crabbiness when they have nothing to do with it.  Thank you for keeping me calm in all my situations.  Thank you for blessing me with confidence.  I can start to see my confidence grow as I engage with different people.  I know I am smart. I know I have good ideas. I know I'm not a bad person. I know I have a lot to learn. I am humble. I owe all this to you.  With out you I would not be able to become to the person I am today.

Please continue to give me patience.  I know the best things in life are worth waiting for and that is Kerstin.  It getting more and more difficult as the days go on, but I know that she is worth the fight and wait.  I just hope that she wants to fight for me and for us.  Please help us and guide us as we go through this together.

Love,

Michael

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me the boost of energy I needed today. Everyday I grow closer and closer to you. Thank you for blessing me with a wonderful small group at my church group. They help me open my eyes, mind and heart to you. They continue to reassure me that no matter what happens you love me and I love you.

Please continue to give me the strength to grow into the person that you intended me to be and the person I want to be. I love the feeling of you working in me. I will continue to follow your light.

Love,

Michael

October 1, 2012

Dear God,

It's a new month and I just want to thank you for the work you have done on me the last month and a half.  I have started to create a relationship with you that I can rely on and trust.  I know you love me and want what's best for me.  I trust the light you gave me and I will follow.  Thank you for the patience you have taught me.

I need you now.  I am getting mentally and physically exhausted with all the work I have been doing to be the person I want to become and the person you intended me to be.  I need you to give me the strength to not give up on myself.  I don't know if I'm just tired from the weekend or what, but I am mentally tired.  Please help me quiet and clear my mind.  I feel like I need to be doing my best to help everyone else.  I have focused on myself and am becoming the person I want to be, but I'm having a hard time seeing how it is affecting other people.  I know it probably takes time to see anything and that's probably why you taught me patience.  Please give me the strength I need to overcome this tiredness and rejuvenate me with lots of energy and enthusiasm.  Life is good with you. Thank you.

Love,

Michael
