Ok…I am trying to get this boundaries thing…
Went to the Christian bookstore last night and got the book…and the workbook. And one for people that are married. Thinking about it tonight…and made a list…part of it was from the internet, and some of it just from my head. I sure hope it helps me. My son is really wanting to come home, and I REALLY want him to. BUT I need healthy boundaries there too. I have money saved, but how much of it do I use to help him? What is the most loving thing to do? Sure wish I was good at this kinda stuff…
Well…I have been a candy eating machine…seems like everywhere I go there is some available…but I need a boundary here! Hope all of you are doing better than me with the candy around…
ok…I challenge you to just step away from the candy!!!!
I had something really cool happen today. There is a worshipper who’s music I love. It brings me so much peace. Well, I went to her website last night and sent her a comment…thanking her for her music. She emailed me back and then I emailed her back asking when she’d be around here…and today I heard back. SHE HAS just MOVED HERE!!!! And she is part of a church plant where she and her husband will be the associate pastors. I am soooooo excited. I have been praying about where to go to church…and then this happened…!
I have a feeling that this will be a blessing for me… I had a dream a while ago and it seems to be connected to this new leading from God! Yeah!
Have a great day!
Blessings,
Chrisie
Gee, that just gives me the shivers Chrisie. So many times I’ve had those moments, when you know it’s not coincidence. You just know it’s so much more.
If that wasnt a message from God..I really dont know what is!! YaY!!
I hope that you will find the answers that you seek. Love Debbie
That is too cool!!!
I just know it’s going to turn out great for you at the new church.
I too have been a candy eating machine these past two days. Bad me, bad!
Godincidence..uh huh..oh yeah! How cool!
Take care of you sweet Chrisie!
Thinkin bout you and missing my fellow butterfly
Very cool! Awesome how God works, huh??
I am trying to keep away from the candy corn here. I accept your challenge!
How amazing is our Father. He is truly answering you in the most amazing way. Please post and let me know how your first day at service was. I have a feeling you will be blessed and your heart will be lifted with joy. I am continuing to pray for you and your hub and every married couple in our Nation. Please add me to your prayer list for my marriage to become FireProof. It’s hard work but I’m willing.
You are an example of a married woman that has struggles but will someday have a testimony that will encourage other couples.
