I wonder ....

• Friday, June 20, 2008 - Learn to be content

Well, we didn't get the house we looked at. No reason was given other than she just decided to go with some one else. We'll keep looking ... but I think God is trying to teach me to be content. I haven't been really .... I am not happy here. We came here so I could build a relationship with my dad .... well ... he's dead. I don't want to be here any more. I do not like the desert .... I miss green grass & cooler weather (all though it does get cold here in the Winter & Fall).

I have a habit of giving up if something doesn't go the way I want it too .... any way .. because I haven't been happy here our house has not been made up to look like a home .... you know ... pictures on the walls, knick knacks on the shelves etc. We have the bare necessities & that's it. I guess it's time to get the paintings & pictures hung up [kick, stomp, stomp, stomp] I know, I know .... when you do something, do it as though you are doing it unto the Lord .... so my stomping & having an attitude certainly isn't happy submission ....

I just don't feel like we can do the things we need to be doing while living in our current house ...... we can't store up food, can't garden (we could if we did container gardening ... but what a hassle when it comes time to move!!!) .... can't raise animals for our food .... we are trying to be wise stewards & prepare for the future, what ever it may hold .......... what is God's problem with letting us do that? That's right .... I said that .... I'm not throwing a fit .... but really, have you ever wanted to ask God what He is doing with your life & why He doesn't let some of your plans flow? I'm pretty sure He can handle my questions.

I'd just like to settle some where & start planning, saving & storing things .... before my children marry off!!!

• Friday, June 20, 2008 - I understand...

Posted by miniumgallegos
I can understand your frustration about not having things go your way or as you envisioned them, but have faith because God has a plan and we must embrace that and bloom where we are planted! I know that seems so easy to say, but let me share my story. I always dreamed of having a large family and just having baby after baby because I love kids and wanted to just fill up our house. Well, it did sort of happen, though not as I planned. We suffered miscarriage after miscarriage after our first baby. I think I've had like 9 or 10 total miscarriages. (after a while I've just lost count..the last few--just a couple of months ago have been so early). I thought we'd never have another baby--well God did bless us with a miracle baby. Then we were further blessed and adopted a then 16 year old and her 12 year old sister. Then another miracle, twin baby girls we adopted straight from the hospital at 3 days old! We had our large family--I do desire for more, even yearn and sometimes want to scream out for the injustice, but I remember He loves me and has a plan and I must wait patiently for Him. In the meantime, I'm blooming where I'm planted with the wonderful children God has sent me straight from heaven! Hope this helps you a little--I can understand how you feel! Blessings to you!

About Me

We are a family of 9 right now. Our dreams of homesteading have taken flight .... even if the plane is still sitting on the runway, at least we have flight plans. We home school, home church and run home businesses. Our favorite thing to do is spend time together <GASP> Yes, we actually enjoy each others company. Some times we just sit, chatting ... other times we're watching the races ..... at times we're reading books ..... and other times we're just playing with what ever we can find. This blog will be used to keep track of the journey we're on .... the journey of life ... I'll post about many things .... like ....... drama skits my children create, how to's of homesteading (or maybe the how-not-to's as I find them out), home school projects, lessons and findings, basic thoughts running through my brain ... and probably everything in between. I look forward to your wisdom, input & friendship.
