What an example that Abraham obeyed even though he didn't fully know God's plan.

I have enjoyed reading your post...Hi Miss Heather!!<br />I have enjoyed reading your posts from time to time!! I didn't realize what you were going through when we lived across from you on sunset circle. I lost my father suddenly a year ago, he was only 58, i found myself thinking when i would be in the store or somewhere no one knows how my life has just completely changed forever (as i didn't yours)! My dad loved the Lord and was always ready to go Home so that is comforting but still leaves things forever changed!! Even though the circumstances were a little different i could so relate to that time in your life when your dad passed away, thank you for sharing!! I also love your thoughts on being a mom and a servant. I think all moms struggle with trying to have a good attitude about all that goes into taking care of your family from time to time. And like you, I want them to know and feel from me that it is a JOY to do so!! So i love that analogy and will use it as a reminder when the frustrations of life come my way!! For it is only a very short time we have here on earth : ) Take care!

I envy your honesty. As a preachers wife, I feel on pins and needles sometimes. Worrying that I might just upset someone. It's exhausting.

It brought many tears to my eyes and I thank you for this wonderful introduction and peek into your family's life. <br /><br />I'm so grateful you came across my blog so I could find yours. I keep reading that last paragraph over and over because it perfectly describes my situation as well... I've been going through a season of loneliness, testing, and re-defining. It may be hard to see right this second, but I know this process is refining me somehow. Thank you again for this beautiful post! :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527964479982479946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-13209923731359380622011-07-17T17:33:49.095-07:002011-07-17T17:33:49.095-07:00What a beautiful blog you have, Im really glad I f...What a beautiful blog you have, Im really glad I found it.

Sorta like Abraham when he was called to leave his home and go into the unknown. Nick has often said in sermons about Abraham and y'all... He pitched his tent and built his alter. Often folks invests more of their time and money building their homes(tents) and pitching their alters but yalls lives have been such an example of trusting God and making Him yalls utmost priority. We love y'all. Thanks for sharing yalls story... Can't wait to see what's next.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494451145098557161noreply@blogger.com
