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 nothing in our own strength. Only Christ can strengthen us  and help us to be what scripture requires of us..

In that I thought.. hmm I need something for a female. Something for her to do as well. Even though men are leaders, women also hold a spiritual responsibility as well in the home. One just as great as a man... Did you know there is nothing? Absolutely nothing on preparing the heart of a woman... so I have considered writing a counterpart to Voddie Bauchams book... Instead of " What He must be to Marry My daughter" it would be " What she must be to Marry my son"--- As Sandra King stated.. I dont want my men to marry just anyone. My heart is the same way. I want them to marry someone who loves the Lord, someone understands what it means to live for Him, and understands what their role is to be in the heart of man. Lord Help me!

Lift me in prayer... and let the Words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in THY sight OH LORD!

Be blessed dear saints
Angie

    First, congratulations for getting rid of Facebook! I have wanted to do it for years but then I can't get myself to do it.

    Second, what a wonderful idea for daughters. I didn't realize there isn't something out there for women.

    I will pray for you on this journey. I find you courageous and up for the challenge. <3

    That is the very reason the Lord led me to leave facebook as well and I have to tell you, I don't regret it not one bit. There are times when I really miss the people I communicated with, yet I've also learned in this time that all those friends I had...well, truth be told, the real ones (you included) have all kept in touch and we chat often. We as a society have lost the art of really keeping in touch and communicating with loved ones. My opinion......

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...
