Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it) 

I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:

 Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you?

Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart!

What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him?

The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do.

Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit?

No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed!

If not what keeps you from this?
FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and not concern for their eternal well being. Fear that they will reject me, as they have rejected Christ. Fear that it will drive this person away from me, and my life. (my heart grieves over this)

Do you recognize any circumstances in your life which could be described as an "unrecurring event"? 

Yes!!  

Have you ever said "no" to one and watched God use someone else instead?

NO- I have not intentionally said NO- and I have yet to see God use someone else in this person's life to speak HIS Word, Way, and Love!

Are you in an emotionally and spiritually healthy place?

NO-

What do you feel is holding you in your Egypt?
Honestly I do not know! I wish I did know- I do hope it does not take me 40 years for me to come out of the wilderness.

    Angie,

    Welcome study buddy! Thank you for your comment. This happened several years ago and is just something that I need to let go of. Rusty is the one that has forgiven it and moved on, me not so. The think is this is going to be the host church for the BM simulcast so God is moving me so that I can walk up hug his neck and say I love you. Like Joyce Meyer said in a teaching I have been taking posion hoping he would die. Know that sounds harsh, but because I have not let it go that is what has been happening.

    I am so with you on this study. I know that if we will be honest with ourselves and each other, that God will use us to bring us out of the desert into the promised land.

    There is a note in one of my Bibles about Moses going to Midian and the note states "He lived in disappointment for 40 years." I am like you I don't want to live there for forty years..I would me nearly ninety!!!

    Again thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I am going to be eating some crow here..do you have salt?

    In Him,
    Sallye

    Angie,

    I was in a dry spell for a while too. Keep seeking Him and stay in The Word and He will bring you through it! I'm praying for you!

    Angie,

    You are not alone here, and that's why God gives us fellow siesta's to lean on. Thank God there are those out there that have been here done this, and left us the wells of their knowledge and experience to drink from while we are going through the desert. Thank God that they are praying over us. Better to be in the desert with God than alone in Egypt.

    Your fellow sorjouner,
    Sallye

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...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
