Dream Fulfilled
www.allposters.com
My friend Karen's son Nigel asked me tonight what my dreams were when I was his age. I told him that I was living the dream that I had.
I always wanted to be a wife and mother. I was interested in nursing and maybe being a teacher because I love children, and while I never went to school to become a nurse or a teacher, God has graciously granted me those things as well!
I have a wonderful husband, and lovely family, a delightful home. In the day to day work of my life I teach my children, love my husband, cook, clean, take care of sickness and boo boos.
I am now a grandma to the sweetest baby girl in the world!
I have had the privilege of studying medicinal herbs, learning to garden, animal husbandry.
I sew, I knit and crochet. I bake.
I welcome people into my home on a weekly basis.
I also am the president of a homeschool co-op.
So you see God granted me the desires of my heart and then some! He gave me some dreams that I didn't even know I had!
What about you? Are you living the life you always wanted? Has God given you those desires or has He changed your desires?
Tell me all about it! I love to hear your stories!

My dreams are similar to yours. It took 10 years to become a mother. I can say my home is my favorite place to be. I'd rather have company in than go to a restaurant. The Proverbs 31 woman brought in income. I am praying for God to show me what I can do to do that yet still be a stay at home mother. I am so thankful that my husband desires (not demands) me to be home and that we are blessed to home school. Sometimes finances are tight, but God always supplies.
I wanted to be a wife and mommy more than anything. And I always played school.
Yes, my dreams came true!
i'm thinking i'll be in the minority here ... but here goes.
i never wanted to marry or have children. i wanted a career. that's what i persued. i was a feminist.
then Jesus Christ changed my heart, my mind and my life.
i married. at 30.
i became a mother. at 32.
i am a wife.
i am a homemaker.
i am serving my Lord.
i am experiencing *true* liberation.
His ways are not our ways.
praise His holy name!!!
