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!!!
