The Bible says to not judge. That is God's job. I have been critisized for letting my "circumstances" interphere with a commitment I made for a mission. When I made this commitment, my circumstances were far different. My husband and I had to make sacrifices. This commitment was to serve God by helping other ladies. I was all fired up to do this, but then the fire died. I truly believe that God did that. He had other plans for me. I lost the peace that I had when I made the decision that I wanted to do this mission. People say that God uses us in our weaknesses...we need to step out in faith. I was told I just need confidence. Oh I could do it. I have confidence, I just think family comes first. If your family needs you, then they are more important under the roles of God. God, Family, others, then self. But be sure that all you do is God honoring and Glorifies Him. My husband is more important than something I wanted to do to help others. God made Eve to help Adam. A wife is a husband's helpmate. My husband needs me to be available to him. My life is scheduled around him and my children. These are not "circumstances". I was told that another lady had a son in a terrible accident and she was still able to stick to her commitment. That was her choise. I am not her. I have overcome a lot. My life has not been an easy one. So dont judge me. I have my ways of serving others and honoring God. I have a peace with it. I am sorry that people get upset or angry at me because of what I do with my life.
I will confess that I need to be more adimitt in what I want to do. I waste a lot of time doing nothing. I truly believe though that my life right now is to serve my husband, my dad, and my children. I am so blessed that God gave me a husband who agrees that my job is at home, not outside the home. For years and years I worked to support the family. I did it all...everything! I am trying to find a way to serve in my church. I try to help as much as I can where ever I see a need.
This person who was critical needs to see that I have my passion in life and it is different than hers. Hers is this mission of serving and helping women in a certain area. She did help me grow and to learn that I am forgiven for a terrible thing I did. She is a great and loving friend. Something I have been praying about...a good friend. I dont need confidence...I just need to do what is in my heart to serve God and others. God will give me His plans for me. Until I hear from God, I will do what I feel is important and where my passion is. I am praying over this. I have many areas that I could help others just based on what I have gone through in my life. God Bless you for reading my blogs. Please dont be to judgemental or critical. I dont handle negativity very well...I take it to heart and feel depressed. This is something I need to work on...just being able to shrug off comments made to me. I have learned not to stuff my anger. If I am angered, I will say something about it and I try to quote what the Bible says relating to the situation.
