Well, it's been about three months since we've moved in and
I've posted anything. It didn't take
that long to unpack or paint or fix up things.
I just had a long period of discontentment and/or pity party for myself. It
wasn't the full three months, but it was a goodly portion of that time. It was wrong.
Actually, it was sinful.
Thankfully, God is loving and forgiving, and He enabled
Chris to be that way too. God also
provided Christian women (here and elsewhere) for me to confess my sin and
temptation to and ask for prayer and help.
He also provided preaching and teaching that dealt specifically with
discontentment, thanksgiving, and joy.
Being discontent (aka disdaining what God has given to me at this time
and place/rejecting God's plan) is a sin that will continue to be a struggle
for me. However, it is one that I must
not give in to, not just for myself, but also for the souls of my children
since I do not want to teach or lead them to reject God. Please pray for me.
Basically, I just want to say that I need to be content in
all things and be thankful for all that God has given to me. No complaining or whining from me, and I
encourage you to not complain or whine or wallow in discontentment (aka SIN)
either.
And I really will
post more pictures of our house, town, and surrounding areas soon. :)
