Seeking God's will for our lives......

We had a wonderful weekend at my dads cabin. The girls and their cousins fished alot we caught a few. They also swam in the lake and had nice enjoyable boat ride. It was nice to be with my dad.  The weather was wonderful! We are suppose to get some heavy rain tonight. There have been many storms around us that left a lot of damage we have been very blessed that we haven't had the damage. We could use a nice steady rain though:)

My dad bought us a few fall vegetable plants to plant in the garden. Pa worked out in the garden a bit yesterday tryng to make room for the new plants. The groundhog has pretty much eaten everything but a few tomato plants and Mary's flowers:)

I finished my scarf this weekend. I will start on a new one this week. We are going to the store tomorrow I hope then to pick  up some more yarn. I enjoy keeping my hands busy while the girls watch T.V. or read. I have found that crocheting also keeps my mind calm and I do like that:)

For a while now I have been searching for God's will in my life. Should I  be asking for more than He is already given me? Do you ever question what God wants you to do? I know first and above all else He wants me to Worship Him and Him alone. He also wants me to be a wife to my husband and a mother to our children. Is there anything else? Should I want more than that? Do I have time to do more that? ( I don't think so?) I just keep praying that I hear His voice above everything else. Because He is truely all I need:)

Blessings to all,

Ma

You know I used to struggle with the same thing. Am I doing enough by "just" being a mother and wife and then I believe the Lord said to me, your family is your ministry. Do it as if you were doing it for me. And now I have great peace about my "ministry".
Blessings to you.

I think we all question if we're doing enough. . If you walk in peace, worship in joy, love without measure, and seek God in all that you do, no matter what you do, it will not only be enough, it will allow what you do to be abundantly blessed. To be a loving wife and mother is a high-calling, and aren't we blessed to be thus called! Every time we speak to our children in love, and every time we cook, or clean, or perform any of the myriad tasks in our days in love, we are showing by example the true meaning of being a Christian. I admire every mother who makes the decision to be a at-home mom. And I wish you joy on the journey! God bless
