05/14/2017 - A few weeks ago, I caught myself in a mental dialogue that ended with, āI wouldnāt have it any other way. Ā Without my specific trials, I wouldn't have these wonderful kids!ā
Then I thought, āNO!ā
I would much rather be frolicking around naked, completely unaware, for all eternity with my husband and my kids in the Garden as God intendedā¦
Thanks Eve!
Genesis 1:27-28 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; Ā male and female he created them.Ā
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful an increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Ā Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
All scripture references are from the New International Version. Ā This is NOT to imply any version of the bible 'better' than another it is merely the version that was given to me 16 years ago at a church membership class.
It is a Large Print Edition. Ā I like that. Ā And now, it feels like home.
I don't know when Chris Russell originally wrote, 8 Ways to know God's Will, but it was emailed to me in January 2016.Ā I was on my way to work so I saved it to read later.Ā Later was sometime in August.Ā There was a line about God not telling you His will when He knows you're not going to listen.Ā My kids were starting school in Florida, I was still working in Las Vegas.Ā It was time for me to start listening to someone other than me.
I'm not sure where this site will go yet; I feel I need to start it though. Ā I have many dear friends and family members but distance prevents us from regular eye-to-eye contact and heart-to-heart communication...
I miss my Friday Night Wine Nights where vulnerability was allowed and security was guaranteed.Ā I miss the hugs.Ā Ā I miss the laughs.Ā I miss the tears. Ā Ā I don't know if a website is capable of replicating a similar environment, but suchĀ is the goal.
BeĀ patient with me.
