Pounderings

My husband and I have been talking about and investigating different options we have for our lives together. What give and take is there for the considerations. We are reviewing our present financial and future Prognosis. So The big question before us is do we sell out this house and buy down maybe even buy way down and be free and clear of debt. Not just a little stressful, but at the same time sorta thrilling to think we could be able to do things with our children that our present mortgage prohibits us from. We long to be debt free and we researched all of the costs we have and have found no way to really cut cost much farther. We live at our means. So we just may sell the house. If we can find a house that we could move into and live comfortable down sizing property we just may do it. I trust that if it is Gods will for us it will all work out. Our last home sold in two weeks at tax time (unheard of). A man who spoke fluent Russian bought it and signed at the curb. He asked me if I spoke Russian and I told him we were hoping to return to Russia for a second child. So I know that if it is to happen that our lives are sheltered under the wing...
Refinancing is still a debt that lasts a long time. I think we are going to talk to a Realtor.
We prayed together tonight to try to understand His will for us . We just keep dancing around the same pole. As tired of this as my readers must get imagine how tired I am off it:)
We have had some benefit though we are getting a few things accomplished. Beloved did the master bedroom threshold. It has been a year and a month in the cue. Ya! its done. We will have a lot of down sizing and sorting to do. It is all a step by step job. Wonder what the future holds, not doubt it is the best thing for us. I sure have had a privilege to live in this house so long. I hope the next one will fit us well. It is a good thing I'm getting help for the stress in my neck....Ha!

Praying for God to help you with this decision.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
