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!

    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

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...

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 no...

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...
