Do respond as you are led, dear!
You are still rather a newlywed, aren't you? I would particularly enjoy hearing about things that are on your mind in your stage of life. You may remind we who are the older ones of our youth! |

Oh this is going to be a fun place to visit...I have much to say and love telling my story...
Well, my husband and I have been married for a year and 9 months...but we are well experienced already. We have one child (who just turned one last Saturday) and one on the way (due date Feb. 15th...I'll try to keep you posted). So we've been dealing with each other and raising a family. Everyone asks us what's the hurry, but we just see it as blessings from God. Does the Word not say that children are a heritage from God and that the fruit of the womb is His reward? (Ps. 127:3) So that's where we stand on that....
It's been hard but God has been blessing...I'm going through a period right now where I'm learning that I have to give of myself. I have been noticing that my husband is buying things that he would like and have an interest in. I was wondering where is the stuff for me since he says he loves me...but that's not the attitude that God wants me to have. My husband is a very sensitive guy and submits to God willingly...a lot of the time when I think I'm right in something, God says I'm wrong. This is another place. God wants me to be happy that my husband is able to get these things for himself and seek to do more for him that would make him feel good...of course this doesn't come naturally...actually I have to get over the hurt of him not getting the same amount of things for me as he does himself right now....bottom line is I'm just selfish. He's not all that bad...he does sacrifice for me and gets me things I would want...I've just been listening to the devil who suggests to my mind that my husband NEVER gets me anything but gets EVERYTHING he wants...that's the warning bell though...satan always tries to augment things. It's not even that bad, but he's trying to get me to focus on that so I would say things to hurt my husband and hurt our relationship...so I'm in recovery now. It doesn't feel good to my flesh when I first start, but as keep obeying God and doing good things for your husband I've found that you start to feel better...God also has to change your heart so that you have a right attitude when you're doing things for him....
But anyway, that's just one issue that we've been going through recently....I have a whole lot that I can share...
I'm a stay-at-home-Mom right now so I'm able to spend some time on here everyday if need be...I can't neglect my child, but I will respond quite frequently. The people in here will probably get tired of me writing so much so often....but this is fun for me and I love to share where God has brought me out of and even share where I am at presently in God with the saints of God....
So that's about all for now....sorry about any typos... |

Nobody worries about typos. : :
Maybe you could chop your posts a little, like into paragraphs? I do that at times even if the writing doesn't call for a paragraph; the breaks are restful to the eye.
Hey, please do run around the Community (forums) and the whole website, commenting all the way! There's a lot of useful stuff here. |
