blog, blog, blog

Today at church.... our pastor gave such an amazing message. Acts 20...Just amazing the word of God and how it speaks to you. What spoke to me was just what an amazing person the apostle Paul was. He had such a great love for people and how his heart just broke for the unsaved...Lord, I pray that I would be tender to the broken as well. It becomes so easy to stay in my comfort zone than to share the gospel with someone who is not walking with the Lord...I mean, C'Mon...It is terrifying to me to think that someone might look at me funny, think I am a freak, or just simply that I wouldn't have the perfect answer to their question (though I know that it would truly be the Lord to give me these words) BUT, Today I was just so ministered to in verse 24 :::: However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace:::: So, Lord, help me to give a daily sharing of your word with somebody, anybody who is willing to lend their ears to hear your word. What I would have given in my BC days to have somebody share the good news with me =)

Jesus, I love you and thank you for all that you have done for me. How you cleansed me and made me a new creation, All the many blessings you have given me snd what an honor it is to serve such an amazing God.

ahhhhhh....peace be still =)

Kids in bed... Sanity restored...even with laundry going, toilets to be cleaned. I at least vacuumed today...it's only been a couple days but with our hairy german shepherd and our siamese cat...a couple days seems like weeks with my cleaning anxiety...all the meanwhile the very loved pets sitting at my feet, lol. We went to church today and it is always great to see new faces and the very loved and well known too. Went to gramma's house today afterward as usual and for once, with daddy's new graveyard schedule, he was able to share in our family day..though he's always there in spirit =) Now, the work begins as the girls are sleeping and the houses' only sound is the humming of the dryer and the sometimes strange silence that comes over the house after the chaos of life with children and a very loved hubby =) I enjoy it yet despise it at the same time..I know strange, huh? So, tomorrow will bring a new day as we hopefully will be able to enjoy some playgroup time that we haven't been able to get to with my crazy work schedule that for now has calmed down. Honestly, I just feel like the Lord is telling me that my place is here with the kids and homeschooling and raising my beautiful girls. While the extra income is nice, I hate to think that the expense of the girls is at stake. So, for now, I am working from home and pray that the business will come easily and the work is steady without affecting the flow of our family. Well, it is that time....BED...ahhhh. Goodnight.
