Trying to keep worry at bay...

As things move forward for our dear Maria-
planning a wedding and the thought of finances, slowly doubt, uncertainity enter in. The Lord has blessed us, my beloved provides, but there is no grace for extras. Winters are harsh and hard here in PA. Prices of oil heat make things very difficult. I try to not allow the uncertainty to over come me, and I believe that The Lord will provide, and that I must trust and obey. 

My sweet girl would stop everything if she knew this fear was there. She did not want a traditional church wedding, with dress, guest, and reception. She said she would have preferred to do it just like me and her dad did. ( of course wisdom with age- brought reason to her heart)  I showed her clearly how selfish her daddy and I were by not allowing others to be part of our union, and be blessed by our love. 21 years later I have no regrets in my selfishness by marrying my beloved husband. I just know the hurt we caused his family and mine. The pain is not worth living with in knowing you caused others to stumble for a very long time. 

As we moved forward... Lord give me strength. I know you are who you say you are and I know you can do far beyond what I can think and imagine. Be with this family. Strengthen my young men as they seek your Will.. Lord show them clearly what that will is. Remove these young women from their lives if they are NOT your will. If they are your will... help me to see the need for you in them, and well as their relationship. Lord forgive me if I have failed in showing the Word to them, and guiding them to righteousness. Lord they are your children. They are your men and only you can speak into them. Lord give me strength to be blessing to all these young ladies. To guide them unto righteousness inspite of how they were raised. Lord only you can bring peace to our Lives, and to peace to my heart. Forgive me for not spending time with you. I need you Heavenly Father... 
In Jesus Name.

Amen

Solo para la gloria de Dios

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...
