So, I resigned my position at the chamber for many reasons... Mostly so that I could be with my children at home. I am convinced that it is God's will that I make my home the first priority. I am one of those all or nothing people... I realize that this choice makes me the possible target of scrutiny in my home town, but I can't listen to anyone except my husband,the peace of God, and the advice of true friends who know what I am dealing with...
So, this is a great thing. I have been wanting to be a homekeeper for many years and this is my first opportunity to do so since we have been married... I mean the first time that I did not contribute financially. I have strong urges to make up for the lack of income but I know that God is telling me to trust him first.
As for my town, we have been hard hit lately. Our motel, our vet, two resturants, are closing. We have had 4 deaths in the last two weeks-one a young father. There is a sense of hopelessness and depression here and I don't think another strain of short-lived human ideas will change anything... OUR ONLY HOPE IS GOD.
Lord I repent for trying to do things my way instead of seeking you first. Lord pleas raise up an army of prayer from this small town that we might see your power!
"The Lord is my strength..."
