I remembered who I am...


I saw myself doing this simple task. After washing the glass The China that I chose when we were married a few years has been placed alone in the hutch. This presented a beautiful image. The white of the dishes really made the walls look pretty.

I remembered who I am in the lyric...
"NO longer lend your strength to those things that you wish to be free from"
I apologize to all of you for my laps in focus. I began to focus on all I was letting go of and giving up. Please excuse me.
I am gaining a greater purpose
I am no longer gong to give my strength to the debt of this ownership of this home.
Once I awoke to this truth again...
I was then able to do what I saw myself doing next...

Nine boxes later...
My Beloved Husband reminded me also that he understands that this is a part of WHO I am and that there will be a place for my bead and jewelry making in the next house. I believe in this part of who I am so much so that I am going to give my strength to shutting this down temporarily while we move. I am also planning (for the first time in my life ) to follow my dreams of continuing my education in this field as soon as we settle and the funds become available.
I will be investigating lapidary and mettle working in the fall semester. I also will be receiving some tutelage in jeweling and beading techniques.
I will lend my strength to it.
As well as gardening:)

I danced today as I listened to the "life Uncommon" song. I felt so free to receive the beauty that is the choice to be free

Wow, that was a lot of work. The move and the classes sound exciting.

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
"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."
