No Worry Thursday

Wow, this week has really flown by. I hope it has for you as well, or went really slow so you could get everything completed..whichever you needed. Things have been really good these past few days, Yesterday after doing some work around the house, I took the baby for a walk...it was more for me than her, (I wanted to see the different houses in the neighborhood, which had paved walkways to the backyard, which had rock and just get some ideas) But as I was walking, I had the chance to just enjoy being outside, It was a beautiful day. After about 20 minutes, I realized that 'L' was no longer singing, (she really doesn't talk much, or at least in English..long loud conversations in baby...but only a few words that I can understand at this point..but look-out when she starts.....) She had fallen asleep, Grandpa still has it!!!!!! This made me think even more, she felt so comfortable with me walking her, that she could relax and go to sleep. She had no worries, Mam-pa had her. I then realized that as I walked I too had no worries either. My Lord had me.....
When I left 20 minutes earlier on my investigation, I was trying to see what I liked and what I could afford to make additions to the house. I was beginning to stress, even thought these quotes were honest fair quotes...they were still more than I could afford at this time, and as we all know, concrete is not something that you can do just a lil at a time, if you are going to pay to have a truck come to the house, get it all done at once.

****This lil note is for all the woman out there****Although you may feel that we do things around the house because (1) we are avoiding you or (2) we want to have the best house on the street...due to our pride or ego or (3) it is something that we think that we have to do. Let me give you a lil insight....we do it for you!!! As a man, there are certain things that we do that are for you, it may not always be what you wanted from us, but this is a way that we show our Love for you. Don't get me wrong, we want nice things, we want to have the nicest looking house on the street, but so that you can brag about 'your' hubby did it. Just like when the kids win 'student of the month' you are so proud, we want that same admiration. We want you to enjoy coming home, not feel stressed when you come home because you have so much to do.****

With each house I looked at, my anxiety reduced, not because my house looked nicer than that one, or I could do that myself and save some money. I was just reminded of a prayer that momma and I had said at least a hundred times.(based on Joshua 24:15, 'But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord') ...that this house is the Lords house, we are only there to keep it clean.....! (I added that last part....LOL) but from the time that we started looking at houses through last nights prayers, we want this house to be a house of God. If I truly believe that this is the Lords house, then he will take care of the needs of the house and I should not worry about how I will afford this, or what it looks like or anything. He wants me to just trust him, obey him and use the house to glorify him.

Choose to have a great day!!!!!
