Time Travel Tuesday

Time Travel Tuesday ~ 2013 Edition

Let's travel forward this time! Where do you see yourself in five years? Will you be living where you live now? What's going on in your life five years from now???
Visit Annie's Time Travel Tuesday

In five years Dove will be 15 and Dash will be 12...Teenagers. I will be 52 years of age! yikes. Beloved will be 55. Wow.... Dove will in all hopes be in 8th grade and Dash in 6th. They will be in two different schools. Dove may be home schooled if needed. Dash will be on the fast track and on his way to higher education. It is my desire that he will still have his sight and hearing if not then It is my desire that we further his education as much as possible with a special school to meet his need. May that not be the path, is my hope for him.
We will be raising our children. Having a good relationship with them where they know they can trust us. I want to offer them a place of haven in the midst of the stormy world.It is my desire to live a long life with Beloved together. We do need to cover our life insurance needs better.
We, during our peers retirement years, will be raising our children. It is my hope that we are able to attack our mortgage to get this home paid off so we will have no mortgage to interfere with the college needs and the income less years to follow. It is my desire that once the children are established in schools with relationships that are healthy we play it out until they are out of school. I see us here for many years for that is our lot. We looked at other options but we find our selfs here earning a living to support our family in the best way we are able in the most productive and ample environment as possible.
It is a reality that Beloveds folks will be in greater need of our help so I would assume that will also be a part of our life then.
Perhaps with creative avenues and ventures I might be able to be a big help in that through ebay and etsy... I hope we can one day be debt free of the mortgage.
I desire a sound mind and a strong body. Healthy children and a healthy husband. Perhaps some travel. Most importantly I have a desire to be debt free. We are a mortgage off from that. The adoptions were the greatest investment we ever made. The lives of the children were worth every hardship they are a gift and a treasure. We are so blessed. I wish that the expenses associated with the adoptions were gone though. That is my big goal. No more mortgage at retirement in five years I hope we will have made a big dent in that!

What great goals. I hope you are even more blessed in 5 years.

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)

By Maya Angelou

'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
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
