Being a Heathen...
Posted in Family Life
You are reading this correctly. I am posting on a Sunday morning. I am NOT going to church today and neither are the kiddos. I packed Dan and the oldest off to Boy Scout camp today and Davy threw up last night so we are not budging from our cozy little home. I need a bit of sanity time and church would not be that time for me today anyway. Our little church is seeing some growth but I have issues still and without Dan I just don't want to be there today. I know that it is my problem and I have to work through it. I seem to be the only one God wants to work on - at least from my perspective. I am sure He is working on others but when I go to Him it is always me that needs the work. KWIM???
I already called my Daddy this morning. We just saw them a week ago when they went to Dallas with us for JoNathan's recital. It was so great to see them. We don't get to do that nearly enough. It was good to hear his voice and to hear what they are having for lunch today. I wish I were there... *sigh*
Not much else exciting is going on. I am doing some laundry and watering the yard and lots of plants. I will take some time here shortly to sit and read my Bible. I have homework to do today, too. I think we will have a leisurely breakfast and just rest today. It seems this is the first day we have really had that opportunity so I will let the kids nap and lay around today. Sometimes you just need a day like this...
Hope you all have a lovely Father's Day! Blessings to you all!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself, calling yourself a heathen! Tsk. I hope the day was refreshing for you. I have not seemed to be able to bump into you around W@H and have been thinking of you alot. How has your new project at school worked out? (cookbook)
Hope your little one feels better soon.

I am obviously up really late tonight with you! LOL I am playing catchup since our trip so the cookbook is like the last thing on my list this week. I will be able to get back on it as soon as I get a few things turned in this week. I am working on a business plan for a Bed and Breakfast for both my classes this summer and I have to do a full menu with shopping lists and purchase orders and such. It is time consuming but so much fun!
I just have not been able to pop over to WAH so much. I am trying to get online and get business done and then get off and do such things as laundry and today I have been waiting on kiddos hand and foot. You know the drill... ;) Davy has kept his food down all afternoon but I put him on the couch for tonight so that he could get up easier if he needs to. The top bunk of a bunk bed for a six year old is NOT good when you have a stomach bug. LOL He is better and I am grateful for the prayers!
Love ya!!!

Hi! Don't be so hard on yourself. There are days I don't want to go to church either...and I always remember that God knows my frame! I don't think He expected 'church' to be what it has sometimes turned into, and so I think He's much more fine with US needing to take a break,..than we are withourselves needing to take a break. When I read your post, my spirit groaned..and I found myself praying, " Oh God...help them in their time of 'issues', just as you are helping our little church in ours!"...Seems I hear Him saying He will - so hang in there!

{{hug}} I don't know what the issues are, but we all struggle with them at times. I think you need a little PW forum time! The group there is so supportive and loving. Hope you do!
How long is hubby gone for? Mine just got back from a Russia mission trip. It's his first morning home....it just felt wrong at church without him! (and of course at home too)

To Anonymous... thank you for your encouragement!!! It was just what I needed today...
Christie - Thanks... I have not been to the forum for so long I am not sure anyone will even know who I am anymore. ;) I will have to get back over there and reintroduce myself.
Dan will be home next Saturday. I have my in-laws and friends checking on me every day and calling me to see if I need anything but you are so right that things are just not right when they are gone. We did not even get to celebrate Father's Day but our anniversary is next weekend so we will do both together and there will be either cake or pie involved, too. LOL I don't often share the church issues here because that would just bore people. There is so much more to my life than the church stuff anyway... You could say there are worship issues and old time religion issues and people not wanting change and that would cover most of the churches in America so I guess we are just like everyone else but it really frustrates me so much. KWIM??? Thanks for leaving a comment - you are so much better at that than I am. :)
