Blessings From Home

My, how you've changed....

Have you ever thought about how much you've changed over the years? I have been recently looking back at that very thing. Not reminising, mind you, but Praising God for the changes He has made in me. Five years ago, I was an unsaved beauty salon owner, who loved her husband and her kids, but spent as little time with them as I could. Why? I really don't know. Flash forward 5 years....I'm Saved! Praise the Lord!!! I can't imagine a day without my husband and kids now. I hate the days when we have to be apart, even for a few short hours. I miss my husband while he's at work. And when he decides to give me a call over his lunch break...I'm as happy, dare I say, giddy as a teenage girl. I get so excited when I know he's on his way home from work and want to make the house, children, and myself presentable especially for him.

I only just recently started homeschooling one of my children, and it has been such a blessing. I'm so glad the Lord lead us to this. And I will continue to seek His will on this, and maybe soon be homeschooling all of our children.

The Lord is changing me so much every day and in every way! From the way I dress, to the way I think, to the way I blissfully submit to my husband. Am I perfect? No, and I never hope to be. There is only One who was perfect, and He is Jesus Christ. I struggle every day with so many things. I don't always have a happy face on and a good attitude. I don't always take care of my husband, children, and home as good as I know I should. I spend entirely too much time on the internet. I lose my temper. I think angry thoughts about my husband when he's grumpy or gripy. Like I said, I'm not perfect, but with the Lord on my side...I know He will help me change these things too.  Rashel over at the Homestead Refuge has had some thought provoking posts over there that I have truly enjoyed...and has really got me to thinking about this topic and many other things. Thanks Rashel!

Dear Lord, Thank you, thank you, thank you for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ,  to die for me, to pay for my sins, so that I may have everlasting life.  Thank you for the gift you have given to me, not only the gift of salvation, but also the blessing of a wonderful husband and children. Lord, I pray that you would guide me in my life daily so that I may be a better servant to You and to my family. Please help me to be a light for my children, as well as for others, so that they may too know You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Understand

I've change alot, too. Over 3.5 years, LOL. I went from scared to death to have children, afraid to trust God, worried SO MUCH everyday about how I looked, to pleasing my husband, loving my babies (and wanting more!) and dressing in a way that makes my husband smile, and that includes no make-up!

Five years ago, about the only thing that I retained from then is my long hair, LOL. I was a bit of a wild thing . . . I'm so much happier as the tamed housewife!!! Praise the Lord for His work in me!

Amen.
10 years ago I was a totally different person.
I was not saved. I was not in a Relationship with Jesus Christ. I was going to hell.
In the last 10 years.......*HE* has done a work in me. So many things I did before, He has changed my heart towards. Now when I look at things, I see them through HIS Eyes.....not everything.......good heavens I have not arrived..heck, half the time I am not even in the boat!! BUT He is always in me.....He is always with me.
My Salvation is secure. My heart is always changing because of Him. Nothing *I* do in my flesh is worthy....only what He does though me!!
I am so thankful that He loves me.
