Samuel and Paul left ....

last week and i have been meaning to get on here and share some of my thoughts but my days have just been full of trying to manage the house alone and at night I am just so exhausted that I do not feel like getting on the computer for anything. I stay busy trying to exhaust myself during the day in hopes that at night I will actually sleep but sleep has been a limited thing for me. It is amazing how the Lord actually makes you one when you are married, because when that other person is gone, sleep becomes impossible, and trust me I do not have problems sleeping normally when he is here.

Samuel and Paul- well communication has been very limited since but the few times we have spoken, Sam has shared of the desperation of the people of Nicaragua. How the government of Spain control all the utilities so they play games with the people to show them who is still in control, since Nicaragua chose to seperate themselves from Spain. The jobs are so scarce their leaving it impossible for the men to provide for the people. Of course soil their is rich so Sam was shocked that people have not come in to teach them how to farm and harvest their own food. When he asked he heard- seed is too much. Makes you wonder- alot of ministries come in and help but never teach or disciple. (sound familiar?) it is an epidemic in America-let's lending a helping hand, lets even give hand outs, but lets make the people dependent instead of independent. I hope to have some inserts from Sam's and Paul's journals of their trip and photos- so look for it in the near future.

I am so proud of Alex, his father pulled him aside and said you will be the man of the house while I am gone and I expect you to do all that I do to keep this family safe. He has taken that talk seriously and does everything to make sure all secure at night, and keeps his younger brothers on task during the day of the things that they need to get done. What a blessing he has been to me in these past few days.
Well that is it- that is what is new here- how are all of you?

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
