Sunday, September 19, 2010

God is truly remarkable. Women I never met are following me and emailing me their testimonies. I am so inspired by their stories and their words. I feel so led to work somehow with women. My husband's heart is with the youth and teens. He befriended both teenage kids from our block and they both stopped by yesterday to support us and our sale. The one never tied a tie so my sister showed him how to do it and he bought one of Christian's old ties. Adorable! I really appreciate the concept of a neighborhood being a community. I felt that yesterday and a kinship. I feel really blessed to live amongst such great people. But God doesn't make mistakes and He built this house and picked our lot and picked our neighbors so it is of no surprise to me. But still nice to reflect. Still keep Christian and I in your prayers for it has been a long road of change. Our lifestyle of ease has shifted and things are no longer the same but we are truly happier than we have ever been. We both feel a sense of peace and a sense of purpose. I feel like I am accomplishing more now than I did before and I feel like it is making a difference. I pray that someday I can lead women in some kind of ministry. All a thought at this stage but it is in my heart so I will trust the Lord to lead me to whatever it is He called me to do. I hear about my old place of employment and it is only when someone brings it up that I remember it. I am so grateful that the Lord has given me a peace about it and that I seem so far removed. It seems decades ago that I was ever there. I miss my girls and our laughter together but that can all continue with us if we choose and cultivate that and build on it. For that place served as a way for us all to have met. But it is there that I realized that I can make a difference and I believe I have in their lives so maybe someday I can touch more. For now though it is Sunday and I am happy and tired. :-) God bless all men and women today who work fleamarkets for a living.
