So today ...before work..I had a few minutes to blog read...which is so relaxing..I need to work that into my morning routine..I love just sitting and reading in the mornings...
Anyway...I seen that The Vigilant Wives Club blog made a post and it reminded me to do something for Gregg....
I know that we are supposed to do something to show them we are submissive...or to enourage them..or blah blah...
but here lately I have had the feeling that is HARD to talk to my husband...I don't know if it that I don't feel comfortable enough to talk to him..or that he is working all the time and I can't find any time to talk to him...i don't know what it is...so this morning after reading the Vigilant Wives...I decided that I would quickly write my husband a letter shortly stating that I feel like I can't talk to him..and it hurts my feelings that he is my best friend and my confindant...and I can't confide in him..or get his advice..which here lately I have really been needing...
I have been asking and praying to God to let me know whether or not I need to start wearing skirts.
I was raised in a Baptist church..but started going to a United Pentecostal Church with my husband and his family..and God has told me that the reason I met my husband was to find this church and to build a strong family that could withstand anything the devil had throw against us.
I solely belive that if we got together as a family and truly worshipped the Lord with everything we had we could do major things in our church...but my husband as well as I ....just haven't dove in.
I don't know why....Earthly things I guess...
But Earthly things don't matter
They just fade and shatter
I have been told over and over that the reason all the Pentecostal women wear skirts was because God convicted them for one reason or another to wear skirts...whether it was not to be OF the world....Not to look like a man...or just to please God...My mother in law strictly wears skirts so that people will know that she is Pentecostal...because you would be amazed at how many people have started coming to our church because they asked my mother in law if she was Apolstolic by the way the dressed.
crazy huh?
So my one and only complex....well two....on this wearing the skirt thing...is
1. I work at a preschool...so needless to say that can be rough..in a skirt...with two year olds all day...but none the less...it can be done...
2. I wonder if Gregg will still find me attractive.....Pentecostal women seem to forget about themselves...and focus solely on God...which is amazing..but I still want my husband to be attracted to me.
Anyway...I don't know how I got on this subject...but for my post today on being a Vigilant Wife...I let my husband know how I felt.

At the well....We are the Body
Over At the Well...they are having a Bible Study called We Are The Body.
It is all about us learning what our part is ...and how to put it into action.
Todays subject was about accountability.
Do you have a friend that will keep you accountable?
I used to ...I worked with her..but now we have gone our seperate ways...we still talk but not as much as we used to.
I went to work this morning looking and asking God to show me what I needed to work on in my life since I really have NO one to keep me accountable.
And lo and behold...just like an old friends..God told me ...
1. I could be a little more joyous to my husband
2. I could focus a little more on reading my bible during my hour lunch break when I have nothing to do
3. I need to work on my patience...with everyone...actually my patience is fine..it is the devil tempting my patience and making me over react
4. I could start relying on God a little more....he is the Comforter...the Healer...the Protector..A Friend..A Father...He will take care of me..He is there to talk to ....He will give me anwers and advice when I need it.
5. Do what I can for my church...including paying tithes....
Isn't it wonderful how Jesus can be just like a friend you can just sit down and talk to ...You are never alone when you are a child of God...
He is never against you ...He is always for you....And if God is with you...who can be against you...He is the God of all Gods...
Which means if Buddah needs a miracle...he goes to God...
Jesus is the only wise God....which means all those other Gods are dumb gods..and I don't wanna worship a dumb god...I want to serve the only wise God!!!
Thank you Jesus!!

Family Competition
So last night our Bible Study Group decided instead of meeting...since this is our last meeting (because during the summer we go to the church for an actual church service) ..we should go out to eat and have fun.
My Father in law called me to see if I was going ...I said sure...once I got my hurricane down for a nap. He said GREAT ..you can just ride with us if you want..we will pick you up.
I was thinking Yay! Lyla will get to spend some good quality time hanging out with her grandma and grandpa that she doesn't see very much...don't know why she doesn't see very much of them...because they live just a way up the road..but they never come by...don't know why they never come by because they can always make it to my sister in law's house to visit thier grandson...their must be something in the road that blocks them from coming this direction to see thier granddaughter.
Anyway....
We went to a steakhouse and had a nice dinner....Well..I had to wrestle a two year old by myself..so I had close to nice dinner...then afterwards we all went back to our cars to go home...in the process...my nephew starts to scream bloody murder that he wants to ride with his Papaw...In his Papaw's truck..with me...Lyla...and my mother in law.....in the truck...
Papaw explains to him that he has to take me and Lyla home so there isn't enough room...while Mother in law says...SURE THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM!!
*rolls my eyes*
sure there is enough room...if I stand on my head and put Lyla on my back...sure there is enough room.
So now we have suddenly made plans to go to the park.
At 8pm.
We get to the park....after the screaming contest on the ride home from the two and three year old sitting side by side in the back seat of Papaw's truck.
Lyla takes my mother in laws hand to go swing...but then my nephew hollers for my mother in law...then my sister in law..screams for my mother in law to let her know that HE wants HER to play with HIM....
oh..excuse..me...Let's just throw my child to the wind...forget that we were trying to spend time with her grandma and grandpa that she never gets to see...just forget her and go play with the child that you watch all the time...14 hours a day...while they go to school and work...and to the movies..and to have a parent break from baby...while they are preggo with another one....
So needless to say I am to the point of disowning the other set of grandparents and saying forget it
She has a great set of grandparents who love her dearly..and would give up what they were doing if we called to have them watch her so that we could have a date night to ourselves..which we NEVER ask for!!!! I am sick of the family competition...I am sick of trying to stick up for my daughter...I am sick of trying to pull attention to my daughter just so she could spend a little time with her grandparents...
I am sick of it!
