Trying to keep worry at bay...

As things move forward for our dear Maria- planning a wedding and the thought of finances, slowly doubt, uncertainity enter in. The Lord has blessed us, my beloved provides, but there is no grace for extras. Winters are harsh and hard here in PA. Prices of oil heat make things very difficult. I try to not allow the uncertainty to over come me, and I believe that The Lord will provide, and that I must trust and obey.  My sweet girl would stop everything if she knew this fear was there. She did not want a traditional church wedding, with dress, guest, and reception. She said she would have preferred to do it just like me and her dad did. ( of course wisdom with age- brought reason to her heart)  I showed her clearly how selfish her daddy and I were by not allowing others to be part of our union, and be blessed by our love. 21 years later I have no regrets in my selfishness by marrying my beloved husband. I just know the hurt we caused his family and mine. The pain is not worth living wit

Friendships

Hello dear sisters and saints Babygirl has not being feeling well so she has had me on and off awake all night. I am not very good at that so this last time I decided to stay a wake for a bit for my own sake and hers. I have been laying here contemplating friendships. I got to thinking of my beloved husband. He truly is an incredible man, incredible person. He has this friend- work buddy that adores him. Yes this man is older than he is but he often text me asking me, "how is he really Angie"- I want to know the truth. He worries about his physical well being.  On Father's Day this same gentleman contacted me and said " I wanted to give Sam a gun but I know he won't just accept it, so here is the deal, you gather a dollar $1.00 - from every child in your home and I will sell you this gun for $7.00. The kids then can give him this gun for Father's Day." I agreed of course. I got the gun and since I know nothing about them had no idea the true value of thi

What do you do...

Morning dear sisters and saints.. I have been troubled by something and I am unsure of how to handle it. I am going to try to share without exposing anything really- just so I can get it off my chest. Does that make sense? I am struggling to understand - What do you do when you make an effort to love someone, you are always kind and considerate but people don't receive it? You continue to reach out- they don't receive it? Their attitude and heart shows such an inconsideration, and selfishness that is not conducive to the body at all. Excuses are made for this inconsiderate and selfish attitude ," that I am just like this , or I am just straight forward " My struggle- do I say something or just allow God to handle it? What would you do?? Ladies- it is so hard sometimes as the Lord places you in ministry to please all people. I strive not to please people but Christ. It is always encouraging though when woman approach me and share their hearts and tell me how blessed th

Why there are two....

In this season I spend alot of time alone. My beloved is gone working crazy hours, so it leaves me to care for our home, our children, finances, and anything else that comes up... I have realized why there are two of us to care for life, and why we are to do it together, it is way too hard to do it on my own. My emotions become raw and I find myself a bit sensitive to making decisions and dealing with situations. (if that makes sense) I am grateful to my beloved- He brings so much balance and so much order to my heart when sometimes I can not untangle it all. He reminds me of who I am to be in Christ and leads me with wisdom and the Word. I wonder if that is the kind of balance the Holy Spirit, Christ and the Father are for one another.. Of course I totally realize that in my human mind- they never get their emotions entangled but they bring a balance to one another, each part fulfilling a role, only each one can fulfill. The power they each hold, they could do it but what wonderful ba

21 years and counting

It has been 21 years- at exactly 5pm, today I said "I do" to my beloved. He has brought me so much laughter, heartache, joy, challenges and most all love and friendship. I often think about my world around me, the joy he brings me, the laughter, and challenges. He brings me to a place mentally, emotionally and spiritually that no one ever has. I think of what it would be like to have loved no one else but him. I look forward to seeing what the next 21 years will bring him and I... Dress I wore the day we got married.  Love In Christ Angie
