We picked girls up from airport last night. Toria B. I s doing great thank you for all who prayed for her!!
The girls went to teach/help at the dance camp this morning. It was a very memorable, unforgettable experience.
They have lots to tell. I've already gone to Harris Teeter and bought the last of my super doubles, got rainchecks on sold out stuff.
I picked up the movies and book I had on hold from the library's inter library exchange.
Noah says he wants pizza for his birthday meal. I will pick up a cake for him from BJ's tomorrow.
I haven't decided what I am making for our birthday meal. Ronnie will be traveling with a friend from church to cut down a tree for us to have for firewood this season.
It is so cool. I am so used to giving to everyone. It is nice but odd for me to allow myself to be on the receiving end.
God has worked out of me a lot of issue of pride that were very destructive. But I did not see it that way at first because I was raised with such a feminist world view.
The more God deals with me the more I see how backward,degrading and lonely feminism really is. Relationships are so important to God. We are all to work together
for a common good. We are all like parts of the body with different talents coming together to do and make something remarkable.
so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
1 Corinthians 12:12
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
This past year has been really a hard year for me. I have faced depression unsure if it was postpartum or not.
But it has been a learning and growing experience to draw me closer to God.
I believe I have bee drawn even closer to worship some days that is all I could do. I have raised some children that have risen to help when they noticed a need. Who have learned not to complain but to do what is necessary to make the team function better. It isn't fair that sometimes mom just was void of emotion and just did what wa necessary to get by in a day. But we are a closer family than I believe we would have been otherwise from making it through and learning to worship more at a different level than we even knew before.
