Hello, friends.
I was reading over some of your posts, trying to catch up. I really do miss all of you. If only there was more time for the computer!
I want so much to fellowship with you and grow close. Time just won't allow it.
Yesterday we swapped the furniture out of the family room into the living room, and vice versa. (How in the world do you spell that? Anyone know?) Anyway, it took a good part of the day, and I still have pictures and accents to change. All in all, I am very happy with it. It has improved the homey feeling in the house.
All these things take time, and household things is where I need to hone in on. I can get slack in that, only because it is not as important to me. I keep things clean and sanitary and that's that. We haven't had the money to buy many things to decorate - I've lived here 10 years and can't buy curtains for my bedroom yet, a set of everyday dishes, furniture that matches, the list goes on, not to mention braces for my daughter. But these things aren't too important to me because I live in the light of eternity and they really don't matter, except for the braces, which I believe the Lord will provide. He always makes a way. The reason I spent time doing the furniture thing is because I may be starting a home group in my home. I want the fellowship, strong relationships in the Lord, and to facilitate an atmosphere in which people can bond with each other and grow in Him. I still need end tables so they can set their drinks on, or what have you. Their Bibles better stay in their hands!
Anyway, I now have my heart set on these things so I can make my guests feel comfortable. Would you pray with me for it?
Gee, I hadn't planned on saying all this. That's probably why I haven't posted much. How long have I been here?
I better get my shower, fix breakfast, do the shopping, and take my daughter to the the library, see to homeschooling, make a well visit appointment at the Dr. for her yearly check up and vaccinations, and finish getting my house in order. By that time I need to make dinner.......and I need to attend to my wonderful husband. How easy it is to forget his needs. This should be a little higher in my list.
Lord, help me. I am only desiring to do Your will.
Then there's my mama..........
