AND
Over
the next few weeks I will be taking an objective look at these two
author’s books. I have read both of them already and will be re-reading
them as I go! I will be filtering EVERYTHING these two women have to
say through the Bible so we will see what comes out at the end of the
study. I will say that you will probably not agree with everything I
have to say and that is okay…you can have a differing opinion-I am
Okay with that! However I expect kind and respectful behavior in
commenting. Ask yourself Is what I am saying uplifting and God
honoring. My goal is to have a great dialog with my friends in the
blogoshere..CARE TO JOIN ME!?!
Attacked!
Let me just start off by saying I love where I am! I love every bit of
it…All except for one..being attacked. I’m not referring to
physically attacked…or verbally….but spiritually attacked. This is
the first time in my life I have dealt with being under fire. Not by
humans but by Satan. My faith has been tested. But One thing after
another has been fired at me this past week! Lady Bug got
bronchitis….This is the first time she has been sick enough to get
antibiotics. She loved her medicine (this is a huge problem in my mind)
So much so she took the whole bottle…I had just turned to put the
syringe in the sink….2 seconds literally then I turned just in time to
see her putting the bottle back on the sink going “thirsty, thirsty,
thirsty” to which i freaked out! Then there was a frantic call to the
Dr’s office and a not so frantic call to the Poison Control Center! The
result: A bad case of the squirts! After that the rest of the wee was
SOOOO draining! Whining, tantrums and so much more! (not from me, the
kids) Then Saturday it all came to a head..I began weeping
uncontrollably. Having the Hubby that I do he just held me and took
care of me all day. He let me have some space and by Friday evening I
was feeling fantasic. Praise The LORD!!!!
Then Sings My Soul Saturday
It says everything I believe in one beautifulk song…One of my favorites!
Some Things I have Learned About Me!!!!
During our recent move I have had some time to think…Okay so a lot of time to think aqs I unpack box after box after box after box….So here is what I have learned!!!
- If I don’t get enough sleep I turn back into a toddler!No tantrums per se but a lot of fussiness!
- being a pastor’s wife isn’t just about who you are married to or a bunch of things you do…IT”S WHO YOU ARE!It’s the way you look at life. You eat, sleep, drink and live it…you can’y escape it…Not that I want to!…People have your cell phone #’s and THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!..LOL
- Bright colors cheer me up especially green..and my kitchen is a very pretty green!
- I enjoy serving people in my home& i really get restless if it has been a while sincewe have had people in our home
- It was very hard to be a pastor’s wife& then to be in a churchwhere you are not the pastor’s wife
