After suffering through the flu for a week I was so ready to come back and really get stuff done. Mother nature however I had other plans for me. We had an ice storm that has knocked out our power. Since we live in the woods and are actually at then end of the line,…
At Home
An Uphill Climb
As Edgar and I work toward putting our marriage back together I find that is it an uphill climb. Not just any hill either a straight uphill. We spent the weekend falling in love again if that’s possible. Do you ever really fall out of love? I don’t think that we did so much as…
No Signal
That’s how I feel it’s been with God lately. It’s like there’s no signal. You know how it is when you’re on your cell and you loose your signal. It seems like for every good thing there is five horrible things. Maybe our wires have crossed somewhere. Maybe God just forgot to check his voicemail….
What Everyone Wants to Hear
“You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride, you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.” Song of Songs 4:9 That is what every wife wants to hear. I will never forget the night Edgar told me his heart beat for me. I thought wow!…
Unsaid Words
Too many times we don’t say what we mean. Harsh words said in anger cut the deepest. A few weeks ago I was so certain my marriage was over. Last night Edgar came home. While we didn’t make promises beyond a day. We made an attempt. Yesterday was our anniversary. He said he forgot but…
A Thread of Faith
Remember the story from the old testament about the woman who was told to hang a red string or ribbon in her window and her family would be spared? She did and they lived. We are taught that is all the faith we need. A single thread. Well my thread is raggedy and about the…
Explanations
I feel I need to explain to everyone why I have been so lazy. My marriage, which I thought was getting back on track, now seems to be ending. My husband has left me and to be honest I am not sure will come back. He is angry, angry enough that he broke his hand…
Starting Over
A few weeks ago I was certain my marriage was over. No questions asked. Edgar had left and said he was not coming back. This past week we had a moment where we thought I was pregnant and a small health scare. I’m not pregnant and I saw just how much my husband cares. As…
Moments
Over the last week I have had several “moments.” Times where I was so certain God was helping me only to feel later that I was hasty in coming to that conclusion. I am still learning that those moments are God helping me in all the little ways. I am also learning that while I…
Being a Stepmom
I always wanted children. Motherhood was the one thing I figured I’d be good at. God has not blessed with children of my own yet but I do have two wonderful stepchildren. I know what everyone is thinking! It’s the dreaded STEP-MOM!! I never wanted mine to feel that way. I wanted them to like…
