I read Crazy Love by Frances Chan... had to get past the title and assumption that it would be a prosperity doctrine kind of book. WOW, I really liked it. And when I read Radical, I liked that even more! Eye opening perspective.

Re: Fear

marsha@othersuchhappenings — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:06:26 -0000

I am praying for you right now.

Fear paralyzes us. Fear is not truth, it is just all the what-if's that we cannot presume to know. When I get fearful about things, especially when it comes to those that I love, I have to meditate on Philippians 4:8-9...

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."

Capture those fearful thoughts and replace them with what you know to be true! God is merciful, He is faithful, He gave you this child, He loves you...

Re: ” Geez- You are big”

marsha@othersuchhappenings — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 03:00:59 -0000

I'm sorry that comment got under your skin. I know that for me, I suddenly get huge the last few weeks before delivery... just when you think your belly can't stretch out anymore, it pops out even further. :) You are not BIG, nor fat nor any of that... you are a very pretty prego girl!

I love beanies on babies... although here in Guam something like that might be a little sweaty.

Hope you stay feeling well! I am almost 15 weeks and still pukey. Bleh. But I do have a little more energy than I did a couple weeks ago so it is progress!

Love you, friend!
Marsha

OMGoodness, I know what you mean! When I was pregnant with the twins, I was asked "are you having twins, because you're huge?!" Ummmmm.....yes, I'm having twins, but what if I weren't? That comment would have been way RUDE!

By the way, you are not huge, you are absolutely beautiful!

Well my Angie if it helps I find myself in similar preoccupations myself and I think for me it just snowballs the more I focus on the circumstance and what I think I can & can't control and if we can just continually remind ourselves to Thank God that he is always in control and knows exactly what He's doing and just have Joy right now in this moment is really all you can do. Pray that helps. Love you Sister.

Re: Fear

Rebecca Weaver — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:01:24 -0000

Praying for you, dear sister. I'm becoming convinced that when the devil has tried everything else in vain, he will try to paralyze us with fear. But God has not given us a spirit of fear, and His perfect Love will cast it out. Praying God's Love on you and yours today.

Re: 31 weeks

marsha@othersuchhappenings — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 09:02:52 -0000

Eeeeee! Look at how cute your belly is?! Pregnancy definitely suits you. :)

I will be praying about the upcoming busy season with Sam's job, as well as that long commute. David missing our childrens' births has always been a concern, not as much for me, but for him! But you know what? He made it every single time. God was so good to work it out for us. And in May when my sister had her son without her husband by her side... I was reminded that it was a blessing that he was there on Hudson's birthday day, even if it was not at the moment he was born (although he did hear him being born over the phone!). :) One of my sister's friends was there with her 3 month old daughter, the daughter that her husband has never seen bc he was still in Afghanistan.

Okay, that probably doesn't help you too much with your own situation, but we shouldn't worry, only pray. And I will be joining you in that regard, my friend!

Much love,
Marsha

So what day are you on now? :-)

Re: Conformed minds…..

marsha@othersuchhappenings — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 08:18:37 -0000

Parents wonder why it is so hard for their children to stay pure until marriage. Waiting until you are 25 or 30 yeras old to get married could be a big part of the problem. I had just turned 21 when I got married and I have zero regrets! And we only waited that long b/c the unspoken rule in my family was that you finish college before you get married.

Re: them getting bigger, it gets easier….

pam — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 14:09:31 -0000

True it's not easy. Harder in some ways, because when young there are naps and stories and 'just family'. It's more complicated when the world rushes in full of technology and different viewpoints and these three: "lust of the flesh, of the eyes, and the pride of life".
But we persevere and with gentleness. For what reward? One on earth? No. For a heavenly reward. To glorify God. All for Jesus. And therefore, all worth it.

Re: Re-examining my heart….

Pam — Tue, 31 May 2011 16:53:50 -0000

I will pray for that Angie. God delights in those who thirst for Him, who seek Him with their whole hearts, and that is what our hearts desire.
Sometimes it takes a good shake or trial, other times we are just too busy or too occupied with something and He gets pushed back. Sometimes we need to change up the way we are doing our quiet time: listen to the Word, or make a cozy spot to meet Him, or try a topical study or a different version of the Word. Sometimes we need an accountability person. I think it's whatever it takes because relationships require time and energy. I've been feeling off in my walk also. I have had to make myself meditate/memorize the Word or my thoughts begin to a downward spiral. I started a thankful book, I've read 1000 gifts (excellent). Still...
Let's remember that He is also working in the times when we don't feel so close to Him.

Re: Graduation and pregnancy….

pam — Mon, 30 May 2011 21:04:48 -0000

Oh my goodness Angie! I just read through your last 6 or 7 posts. I am so excited for you. So glad you let me know. I am thrilled! And a girl! Wonderful. God is blessing you. Make sure you focus on Him, and on His wonderful face. Make sure you don't look down at the waters of 'what if...'.
I will add your blog back to my reader. When things get changed up, and it seems like someone has stopped blogging sometimes I stop following. Sorry.

Re: Family Betrayal

Mfri2004 — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:15:30 -0000

Amen Angie. First I want to thank you for stopping by and saying hello. Congrats on your 7th! The Lord's blessings are so sweet but nothing is sweeter or better than His love. I am grateful that I have come to know and love my Savior or else rejection, betrayal and bitter spoken words would be a lot harder to bear. But He gives us the strength and the wisdom to deal with these situations. If everyone loved us and treated us kindly we wouldn't run to our Lord for comfort, we won't need His loving embrace and sweet words. It is through these times that we can show others the Love of Christ and presevere through our faith.

Peace of the Lord,
Michelle

I'm hoping I receive the word and know that I know that I know that I know it is a gift from God Himself.

Thanks for speaking to me!

*Nod*
Right now we're going through some family issues, and it has been pretty difficult. Christ says that he will bring division- division between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. This is especially true when one is lost and the other is saved. It's heart breaking, but Christ knows how we feel!

Re: New Beginnings, New church

marsha@othersuchhappenings — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:00:12 -0000

Yippeee for subsiding nausea! And I am so glad that y'all have found a church. You will find your place in it, just give it some time. What a blessing to have such wonderful kids and husband to help you when you need it. Don't feel bad about it, Angie. When you are a do-er like you are, it is hard to sit back and let others bless you... but you let them, okay?

Love you! I miss you!!! Sorry to have been completely out of the loop these past few months. My life seems a bit upside down and crazy right now. Things should settle down by mid April, after the retreat!
