I am Lesson 5

1. Have you ever found yourself in faith yet bewildered or demoralized?


yes of course, because I can not understand the ways of the Lord and when I try to that is when I am left bewildered.

2. Do you consider yourself content?
Sometimes- not all the time-

would you describe it as decidely content or dreamily content?

Decidely content- I am living in a house I do not want to be in and in a state I do not want to be in. But I can not spend my days thinking about that- I have to think of the positive, Sam has a job and we have a home...



3. If you are not content, are there circumstances that kep you from this feeling??


When I allow the thoughts to envade my mind- I can easily get discontent- but I try very hard to rebuke them.


4. Have you ever found yourself in a place where you looked back on a period of your Christian walk and believed a great opportunity passed you by?


"opportunity" hmm not sure of that one- but I do know there have been times in my Christian walk where I affect how close I am with Christ by making quick unprayerful- decisions-


5. Do you ever believe your faith was stronger in an earlier time in your Christianity and find yourself floundering now?


Yes I know it was stronger!!


6. Can you recognize that this season may be one of great preparation instead of period of I was?


I can say yes- but I do wonder how long the period will last since I have been here for 2 years or more!

  1. Angie,

    I love the signature! I know it's difficult for you being taken away from your family and being in a place you don't want to be, but I am glad you are setting your mind to be content with it! My parents wanted to move here to be close to their grandkids, but then after they got here, they didn't like it so much, especially my mom, and instead of appreciating those years they have spent with their grandchildren, they have grown more bitter each year because life didn't turn out like they planned. It's very sad, but honestly, it sometimes helps me because I do not want to grow old and bitter like that and I work and pray very hard to choose joy and enjoy what God has given me!

    You have a beautiful family and you have a beautiful heart! I know one day you will look back on what God did for you in these years and you will be able to smile!

    Love ya
    Michelle

Whisperings

Some of you know I have lots of children. Seven to be exact, and most of them are older and Most of them are young men except for one boy.   Lately one of my youngmen have been struggling. He works at an amusement park, and is around people all day long who standards, or morals do not quite match what we(through God's grace) have tried to instill in him. All day long he is whispered at about what he should have, and what he should be doing at "his age".  Today while reading the Word these verses stood out.... Proverbs 23 15  My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 16  Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. 17  Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the  Lord  all the day long His heart started to "envy" what these whisperers were saying to him and started to feel like he has been missing out on something in life.  Really?  How do we envy sinners?  How do we as professing believers say "

Day two
