Sharing Memories

I have so many memories, some good, some bad that I want to share!!  When you share this part of you its really opening yourself up and letting yourself out there.  I know there are some areas in my life I need to work on and commit more time to reading my bible and praying!!  Life should not be so busy that you do not have time to read or pray!!

Just recently I got a new Bible.  I blogged about it at my personal journal blog because I was very excited I finally got the study Bible I wanted.  Of course I was a bit upset I will admit because when I asked my husband if I could get it, he actually questioned me when I would have time to read it, with my scrap booking and blogging, taking care of the family, etc.  My response was every day I have time.

You have to make time.  I know there may be times I might forget to read or study one day here or there and that is what I hope to work on improving.  He works outside the home and is gone for 10 to 12 hours each day, what exactly does he think I do?  I love to read.  I read lots of books, especially from the Billy Graham Association.  Perhaps he questioned me because it sort of struck a nerve.  Sometimes a wife has to work behind the scenes and let God deal work with their hearts.

I have reached a point in my life where I have to start doing it for just me.  I hope my family will grow with me in my walk, especially my husband.  In my first marriage it was me going to church with the kids and him staying home and not happy I went.  He placed crystals in our house, under our bed, my childrens beds as he wasn’t a believer and It was a very uneasy experience, one I will never forget and perhaps will share on my blog when I am ready.
