I'm apologizing again - sorry for leaving you with so little explanation.
The time to wrap up the year is at hand - and man, am I relieved it is so. Bye bye 2015, it was terrible with you! Welcome sweet 2016!
So, my husband came back. He does not want to divorce and he feels terrible about everything.
So I forgive him, like one who knows how much she has been forgiven. Like one who knows none of this was for nothing, none of it, not one single tear or pang of pain was for nothing, nor did it go unnoticed. I have no anger or bitterness even for those who wished that he would leave me.
What was meant to crush, has only made us stronger, because we have come closer to the Lord.
One who has been made free by faith in Christ, is indeed free. I'm not concerned at all about what people are thinking or talking about.
So I have got a glimpse of what it feels like to die to yourself daily.. It makes you free. It's not about losing your personality, it's about losing your ego, your pride. I know I still have a lot to learn.
I'm praying for freedom from the bondages of sin and self, and the cages of pride and idolatry for all those who seek, and all those who think they see but are blind.
So during the past several weeks there have been birthday parties and Christmas preparations, going on dates with my husband, sewing a lot, just living life for a moment, instead of just surviving day to day.
Indi has been sick though, there is a problem in the school building. She needs to have drains put in her ears, she has some hearing loss and she has been sick with a cough and constantly snotty nose almost from the beginning of school. I'm not sure what will happen with the school as we still don't know what exactly is wrong with the building and what can or will be done about it. It's something I'm praying about.
I'm glad she will have almost 4 weeks off from school, as we are taking one extra week and traveling to Israel again.
Why have I not posted sooner? I have been overwhelmed I guess. My husband coming back. It happened so quickly. Just like everything else.
I am so touched when you comment here and let me know you are waiting to hear from my little corner of the world.
Tomorrow we will have the school Christmas church and Indi will get her first report card (which they get only twice a year) and on Sunday we have a Christmas celebration at the congregation we go to (a small Baptist congregation I've been going to for a while) and I can't wait to sing all my favorite Christmas songs!
I sing from the bottom of my heart, Hallelujah!
