Wow.... this blogging thing sure hasn't been what I wanted it to be!!! I thought it would be fun and lighthearted!!! Instead... its convicting! and makes me really stop and think about life and where i'm headed with my husband, children, shop, friends, etc.... I have to admit that when I re-read all of my earlier entries.... I was very convicted!!! and I'm very glad!!!! I am always open to being told what I"m doing wrong!!! I'm also very open to being told what i'm doing right... and I don't think that happens enough!!!
The verse that I read in Psalms 16:5 that prompted this blog post.... "Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup, you have made my lot secure" I have always been very secure in God's love for me, Jim's love for me.... my children's love for me...
maybe I'm not secure in my own love for me???? anyway.... at this point in my life... I need to be re-assured of everyone
s love for me... not in a narcissistic way.... just a way that lets me know that everyone close to me stands behind me... backs me up... helps me in the day to day decisions of life... someone to pat me on the back and say.... Your doing a good job!!!!
People are always quick to tell you what you are doing wrong!!! Like I don't know already!!! FOR THE LOVE!!!!!! we all know when we are doing something wrong... we just try to justify it or make it better or pretend..... blah, blah , blah!!!!! Where are the people in our lives that tell us when we are doing something RIGHT???? guess what... they are right under our noses!!!! In fact.... they "don't fall far from the tree!" Go figure!!! This is really why I started this blog... because I wanted to stay close to my children, my parents, Jim's parents, any and all aunts, uncles, cousins,friends etc... that want to contribute!!!!! Lets all help each other to "not fall far from the tree" of family, values, life lessons... and most importantly .... the biblical truths that are what make all of this possible!!!!
I am not at liberty to tell exactly what my "ulterior motives" are with this blog.... but you probably can guess... if not ... just hang on!!! It won't be long!!! And at THAT point.... I will need a lot of you to be telling me what I am doing RIGHT!!!!!!!!!! and of course,,,, the recipes, gardening tips, etc... will soon follow!!! Once I get over this ever impending "hump" in my life!!!!!!!
and for now... as Karen says, " And to God, Almighty, the Author of Life... who has ----for now, Blessed me with these!!!!!"
Thank You, Lord, for all the wonderful people in my life that you have blessed me with!!!!!!! I am forever grateful!!!!!
