Happy Birthday...

By
to my husband...He is 35 today! I am making him a peach crisp with a maple cream sauce. :)

I will cook his birthday dinner Saturday. He has a meeting for Haiti tonight. He leaves next month.

Here is a thought for today. It's for all you wives.

When we allow God to shape us into the woman our husband needs rather than the woman we think we should be, we live out our purpose and bring glory to God. ~Darlene Schacht

I have to ask myself, do I bring glory to God by being the wife *I* think I should be, or do I bring glory to Him by being the wife *my husband* needs. It's a difficult thing to die to self. You may feel like you are sacrificing too much by becoming what he needs, like you lose a part of yourself. You may very well lose part of yourself to become what He intended you to be, but that's ok! No easy, but ok. We are to look to the interests of others and not of ourselves. In doing so, we glorify God and isn't that what it's all about?

Decisions...

By
We've decided (my husband and I) for me to stop taking the chemo/ immunosuppressives . They have really made me sick and it's just not the way we want me to live. There was a time I didn't take them because they caused some cancer (cervical) and I didn't want to get any other cancer. During that time, I felt really good and then a tragedy happened in our family and that's when I started getting worse again. The medicine has caused anemia and me feeling sick to my stomach ALL the time. I can't live that way. I am going to continue to take the experimental supplement and the Mestinon for neuromuscular function and see where that leads. I think it will be a great benefit to be off that chemo drug. I feel like I have been poisoning myself with it for so long and when they doubled it, well, that was just too much. Today is the first full day without it. It may take a good week to get it out of my system to where I feel better. I'm hoping that happens ...

Skirts...

By
Well, I'm back to wearing them. This time I am really happy about it. :) It was weighing on my heart for a while that I just didn't feel modest enough in my jeans. I talked with my husband about this because he is the one who really wanted me to wear jeans. He enjoyed "looking at my shape." I enjoyed him looking at my shape, too. I just didn't enjoy others looking at my shape. We talked it over and he realized that I was being a stumbling block to other men. He really didn't want that. Finding pants/jeans that are modest is very difficult to do. They are cut for a females shape. If you find looser ones, they usually look pretty silly. So we decided skirts will be just fine. They are feminine and pretty. It was difficult when I wore skirts before because I was very plain jane. My husband didn't like that at all. I have found a few skirts that are modest, feminine, and cute and he likes them a lot. I believe modesty is a heart issue first and...
