the honeymoon is over.......
Posted on Thursday, July 27, 2006 at 09:34 - Post Comment
This week has been a trying one..... three of the people that God has brought into our lives have been testing my patience and my love. Abraham has been sick, to sick to walk to the hospital so I've gone over to his village 3 times this week to go get him and bring him back. i feel like a taxi service and i don't like it!! (I'm talking straight out truth here!!!!, so beware) Emily, has a major attitiude towards me over a miss understanding, and frankly I'm getting tired of tying to resolve it. And John Muchuri lied to me then lied again when I confronted him and he dis obeyed me twice in 2 days. He did manage to ask for forgiveness( a huge endeavor for an african young man) but it hurt bad. I told him I loved him and forgave him but it put up a barrier that i will have to overcome. These incidences showed me that my love comes up short and that i think I need to relax alittle!!!Bitterness can really creep into my life if I'm not careful!!! Got to go, it is cold and my hair is wet!!! Love Ellen
Normal

Hi! Seems to me like you've hit the "normal" progression of a new life. As you said, the honeymoon is over. I think it's great that you can be honest with yourself and others. More opportunities to grow, become more like Christ & grow in relationships, eh? NOT easy, but, oh so worthwhile if we are able to let the Lord have full charge of our hearts. I'm praying!! Love ya! Jennifer
Just like home

Hi, Ellen, it's just like being back here, isn't it? We get so offended even by folks who are our friends. Don't kick yourself too hard - It gets tiring, and yes, our love is limited. So in a typical week like this, are you the one at home doing these things? Bruce is doing his job elsewhere, right? Is it still the want to help thing driving you and then making you feel burned out?
Sorry it was a rough week. Thanks for being open & honest enough to share with us.
Jennifer, it's been nice reading your comments on Ellen's blog. I feel like I get to know you a bit, while in church I don't get to see too much of you or know you too well.
Ellen, I do what I can do, and that is keep sending you love and prayers. - Chris

Hey Ellen. Sorry to hear you have had a very trying week there. Even though you are feeling a bit used and unappreciated, remember the Lord is seeing you and it is really Him you are transporting and caring for. Matthew 25:37-40. A prayer goes out for you today!
Connie
Jennifer!

Thanks, Jennifer... you can visit my blog, if you want to, www.homesteadblogger.com/thinkingwoman/
Then we don't have to ignore Ellen. Oh, hi, Ellen! Or did you already do that and that's how you know about the move, etc.? I'm sure you know about the woes of building, that's part of our plan on the new end.... thanks for your prayers. See you tomorrow. Chris
Day by day

Hi Ellen,
I'm sure that the Lord will give you a wise and loving heart. I can understand your fustrations. You are far from home with different circumstances that you have ever had to deal with. I will pray that Jesus will strengthen you and be with you every step of the day. Keep looking up!!! Kathy C.
