All Things New

When I first started blogging, I came across a lady, and
she was lamenting that someone had unfollowed her. I didn't
really understand what she was talking about but she
was hurt. I thought, "man I hope that never happens to me."
Now it has, twice in two days. I have walked around second guessing
myself, feeling stupid and really dumb.
Then I ask myself, " And who's glory were you writing this for?"
I step back and see that I never started this silly blog to make
myself look good, I started it to give Glory to God. To show the
world that a Christian stay at home Mom, who has been teaching
her children for the last 22 years can carry on a conversation and hopefully
have fun in the process.

So today as I thought about what I would say in this blog, I went back to where
I was a year ago. On the day I wrote this post a year ago, I didn't have one comment
because as I said, I was writing for the Glory of God. I was okay, because in
my mind, that was all that mattered.
I thought today that I would post what I wrote a year ago, because in a year,
I have changed. I just want you to know that I apologize if I have hurt or said or have
done anything that might have caused pain. I never meant to, really.
So here is my post for one year ago.

All Things New

This is how the sun looked coming up this morning through the trees, it looks like a very nice December morning. The air is cold and the ground is frosty and my field of dreams looks beautiful in her winter clothes. Her trees are decked out in gold and there was even diamonds on the fence truly I have riches untold.

Some people have prayer closets, I guess you could call my field of dreams my very large prayer closet. I go there and it has heard many, many prayers, my only hope has been the neighbors behind don't see me as the nutty woman who walks out there.
God saw fit to take my Mom home last night. Today, I am so thankful there is no more pain and no more suffering. The weight is gone from my chest and this is the first morning in so long I could take a deep breath.
I understand the passage when David is on his knees begging for his sons life then the news comes that God has taken his son home and David gets up off of his knees and washes his face and eats and they ask him why when the child still lived he mourned, and he told them that he would see his son again when he went to him,( very badly paraphrased).
Today is new morning, There is one more added to the "great cloud of witnesses," waiting for me in heaven, now I must be about this business of living.
We have storms coming in this next week, we have Christmas before us and the trials are behind us and God is still faithful and joy did come in the morning.

That is where I was that day. God has given me again riches untold. I thank God for each
one of you every day. I thank you for your loving comments and for your lives that have
given me such joy. You have helped me to heal from this day so I just wanted you know
how thankful I am that you share your time with me.

Blessings today,
