Are We Ever Really Sure?

Is anyone every really sure what they want in life? I mean for me I've always wanted to be a wife and mother. Now that I am exactly that I feel like I'm missing a close relationship in my life...I've got my salvation and my relationship with my Lord but I'm not really close with my sisters. I miss that. I know people who are so very close to their sister, they hang out, they talk on the phone, their kids play together on a regular basis. I'm 7 and 10 years older than my three sisters. I'm physically not close to 2 of them and the one who is close well we have nothing in common.

I know that God can give a "sister" relationship with a woman who is not related to me and I used to feel that I had that, but I no longer have two of those relationships because I choose to follow the calling of God in my life. So tonight my hearts prayer is that God will send some beautiful hearted women into my life to be my sisters. I'd like even just ONE to be the sister of my heart. That one who will come help with my kids, wash my dishes or fix dinner for my family if I'm sick. The one whom I can confide in and trust with my hearts desires, my prayers, and my husband.
I have two friends whom I do trust like that but unfortunately they can't be close physically in those times, but I love them just the same.

Maybe what I truly do desire is a sister wife. Someone to share the daily chores, the school lessons, the supper dishes and the family trips with. Someone who can be in my life everyday that fits into each moment of life like a glove.
Lord  you know my heart! Hear my prayer!

Living a Life my Girl's Can Emulate and be Proud Of...

It is challenging today in our society and in many cultures to live a life of purity. We are bombarded by the media at every turn with sex, violence, and a concept that beauty is superficial. 
How can we and mothers in (what the media and society has dubbed) Generation X live in such a way that our children can "rise up and call her blessed" (Proverbs 31:28)? 
How can we demonstrate to our small children that God's love is working in our daily lives? 
How can we encourage THEM to love Christ and desire a relationship with the Most High King? 


I'll tell you... we can MODEL what we desire from and for our children!
Bible study is paramount!
We need to look toward the BIBLE to train our children. 


Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

The key word here is TRAIN our children learn by example.. they watch what we do. They emulate us. They WANT to be like mommy and daddy. My 2 year old loves to pretend to be like her mommy. He likes to have her hair like mine and to wear the same color I wear.. and she also like to read her bible when I read mine! 


We as parents have a duty to our Children to SHOW them what God expects from us and them! We have to be good stewards of the blessings God gave us! 


Take some time today to decide what you want your children to grow up to be like. Do you want a child who is kind, obedient, respectful, loving and reflects Christ in their daily lives? Or would you rather have a child who rebellious, mean spirited, hateful, disrespectful and pushy? 


May God Bless you in all you do!
