As I have been home, struggling to start my in home business (Real Estate asst.), God has really been revealing alot about who I really am...Even though I was never raised to be self sufficient (live off the land) so to say. My Grandma taught me ( more like showed me) how to crochet, tat, make bread, my mom taught me the basics, laundry, cooking, house keeping. I never thought much of it... But as I'm looking around and watching the world go to Hell in a handbasket, (as mom would say), I find myself very concerned about our future....God is prompting me to prepare our selves. Learn how to raise chickens, beef, fruits and vegetables, make bread. I find it odd that in this life of pure technology that I am regressing in time and culture...It feels a bit strange, as I'm not yet ready to throw away my modern conveniences of electricity, cell phones, or my laptop. However, there is something pulling me to learn about all these "old time" chores. I've always had a facination with Amish people and the way they live, pure, hearty & together. I am so excited to get started on our garden, and the possibility of us having a cow... LOL I still think it's funny...
I really don't know what God has in store for me as my career is hanging in the balance. I do know that my family comes first, I've heard companies say "oh we love the family unit", until you have to take time off for a school function or your child is sick, or has some emotional breakdown, then it's "you're not a team player", "sorry you're fired". That's why I decided to start my own business and Yes it's slow, but I know that God has something Big for me.... I love what I do, and I know that I am an asset to any agent that needs help. But my bigger project I think is ministry. Warren and I are meant to do ministry and we love doing it...my poor husband works 2 jobs to make our ends meet and they still don't...God has sustained us and will continue to do so. He has blessed us with a great church family, (and I do mean family). We rely on one another the way a family should. We hold one another accountible, we share, we laugh, we cryand most of all we LIVE and LOVE....I'm 43 and I feel like my life has just started. It's an incredible ride....Thanks for letting me share my thoughts..... more to come....
