Returning...

June 24,2010

Well we are home. The trip home went so much smoother than the trip there. The skies were bright blue- hardly any turbulence. Arriving at the airport went pretty smooth. We were leaving around the same time as my sister, so we were able to spend a little more time together. (though it was hard to say good bye)

Since arriving I have no desires to do anything. My heart is aching ,of course, to be back in that beautiful country.







The simplicity of life there, the non congestion, purity in the air and the many friends makes me realize for the first time that I do have a place in my heart I call home. (Texas is not it)

I am grateful to the Lord for providing. For a place to lay my head, for a roof over our heads, and for a job for my beloved. As we all know we are to be thankful always! Life is so much more than survival. It is ministry doing the work of the Lord in all things. Here I am missing something..(have not quite figured out what that something is) but none the less I am missing something in my life.  May the Lord will show me or maybe not. All I know is that it is hard to continue and do what you need to do when you have NO desire to do it or do it in the place you are at....

July 1st- this post has been a week in the making.. time being limited and my mind not being able to focus on the words. How am I feeling this week? much better than last week. Working out with the children has given me something to focus on.(a distraction per say) We have slowly started schooling. I say slowly because we are not full force yet. Right now we are doing math. Next week we will start back with a full schedule.

July is here. What will it bring for the Sellers?  We all have lots of things going through our heads for the future. Paul thinking on college, and a job. Alex thinking on graduating, and a job. Maria is even thinking on a job. Everyone's minds are hopeful for future. Mine well - mine is stuck. My heart is broken over leaving Pa. I keep thinking about time. How limited it is? How it goes so quickly.. ( life is just a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away- that is what the bible says) Those word remind me that I only have one life to live. We are to live it full force for the Lord. Knowing that our lives are limited and we never know when He will call us home!

Have you all missed my blog randoms? would love to hear from you!

  1. This post made me sad for you. I can relate a little. My dad, step-mom (whose like a mother to me), and my brothers live in Kansas. We made a trip out there last year and I love it there. Everyone takes their time there. No one was in a rush to go here and get this done. A land full rolling hills and beautiful fields. Not knowing when I'll see my dad again hurts. Like you said, you never know how much time we have left. Hugs...

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...
