JUST SOME THINGS LAID ON MY HEART

HEY EVERYONE! HOW HAS SUMMER BEEN FOR YOU ALL? WE HAVE BEEN BUSY, BUT REALLY JUST HAVING A BLAST ENJOYING FRESH AIR AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF FREE FUN THINGS TO DO. I HAVE ENJOYED RECONNECTING WITH OLD FRIENDS AND ARE BEING BLESSED BY MEETING NEW ONES AS I REACH OUT MORE AND MY KIDS GO INTO THE NEXT CLASSES AT CHURCH. BITERSWEET THAT IS. I HAVE MET MORE CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOL MOMS THRU CAFEMOM TOO, I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE WOMEN OF FAITH ENCOURAGING ME AND SHARING THEMSELVES SO I MAY PRAY FOR THEM TOO. IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE RESOURCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS, OTHER MOMMIES WHO STAY HOME WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM SAFE AND TEACH THEM FROM THEIR HEART BECAUSE THEY DESIRE TO GIVE THEM GOD'S BEST FOR THEIR LIFE SACRIFICING THEIR OWN DAILY. I'VE GOT LOTS OF QUESTIONS BUT I WILL BE SURROUNDED BY LOVING PEOPLE WHO WILL GUIDE ME ON THIS JOURNEY WHEN THE TIME COMES AND I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO IN TURN HELP OTHERS AS WELL. I FEEL SO PASSIONATELY ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING, BUT THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL OPINION FOR MYSELF, AND OUR FAMILY. THOSE WHO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL CAN PRAY FOR THEIR PRESENCE THERE TO COUNT, TO BE A LIGHT. GOD PLACES US WHERE WE ARE FOR A REASON, A PURPOSE, I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND OUT YOUR PURPOSE, WHY YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, WHY YOU WERE CREATED. WERE YOU CREATED TO DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR HIM? WHO KNOWS, BUT WITH A WILLING HEART AND SUBMISSIVE SPITIRT, HE WILL REVEAL THINGS TO YOU AND USE YOU AND YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH INDESCRIBABLE JOY, AND WITH GOD ON YOUR SIDE, WHO KNOWS WHAT PLANS HE MAY HAVE IN STORE IN THIS LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS, HE WILL BE THERE TO HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK, BIG OR SMALL. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A HEART FOR MISSIONS, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I ALSO HAVE A HEART FOR THE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE! I ALWAYS WONDER HOW HE IS USING ME AND WHO IS WATCHING. COULD THE PEOPLE I SEE AT THE POST OFFICE USE SOME ENCOURAGEMNT? COULD THE WOMAN AT THE BANK I ALWAYS DEAL WITH NEED PEACE? WHAT ABOUT AT DUNKIN OR STARBUCKS? I KNOW PEOPLE BY NAME AT ALL THESE PLACES, BUT MAYBE THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. THE POINT IS ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERANCE WHERE YOU ARE AND NOT LETTING AN OPORTUNITY GO BY. USING INSTANCES AND SITUATIONS TO REACT A CERTAIN WAY OR WITNESS TO SOMEONE. BE A MISSIONARY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!!!! LET GOD USE YOU WHERE YOU ARE! LET YOUR KIDS SEE YOU LOVING OTHERS NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE! DOP OFF CLOTHES AT SALVATION ARMY OR BAKE SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SICK, MAKE DINNER FOR SOMEONE WHO JUST HAD A BABY, OFFER YOUR TIME TO HELP CLEAN A HOUSE FOR SOMEONE WHO FEELS OVERWHELMED AND IS TOO BUSY TO BE ORGANIZED. FIND OUT WHAT YOUR TALENTS ARE AND USE THEM FOR HIM AND FOR OTHERS, IT'S AN AMAZING FEELING AND YOU WILL BE SO BLESSED! MY HUSBAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LIGHT WHEREVER HGE HAS GONE, EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS DIFFERANT BECAUSE HE UPLIFTS HIS FAMILY AND DOES NOT SWEAR, HE IS HONEST AND RELIABLE AND HARDWORKING. HE IS A MAN OF VIRTUES AND STREGNTH AND HUMBLE KIND PAIENT CHARACTER. I ADMIRE HIM SO :) HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SAY THINGS HERE AND THERE THAT GET PEOLPE THINGING ABOUT GOD AND LAY THE FOUNDATION AND ANSWER QUESTIONS.DON'T BE AFRAID OR EMBARRASSED, IT WILL COME MORE NATURAL AS YOU THINK OF CHRIST AS YOUR FRIEND AND CONSTANT. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE THE TIME FOR PRAYER TOO EVERY DAY, IT SOOTHES THE SOUL AND BRINGS YOU SO CLOSE TO HIS HEART. HIS BLESSINGS FOR YOU ARE THERE WAITING, DON'T HOLD BACK BECAUSE HE WON'T EITHER! WHAT A SWEET SAVIOR!

MY DAUGHTER LOVES TO PRAY WITH DADDY EVERY NIGHT, IT'S SO PRECIOUS AND I FEEL SUCH A STRONG CALL TO MINISTER TO HER HEART AND GIVE HER A PASSION AND DESIRE FOR HER LOVING MASTER AND CREATOR. I PURCHASED RAISING BOYS BY JAMES DOBSON, AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO RAISING A TRUTH SEEKER AND MAN OF GOD WITH MY HUSBAND'S HELP. I WOULD LOVE SUGGESSIONS ON A CHRISTIAN BOOK FOR RAISING GIRLS TOO...

GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY, AND KEEP YOU IN HIS FAVOR.
