One of the BLESSINS' I have had as a Blogger is the warm invitation to enter into the Homes, Worlds and THOUGHTS of others in Blogland. Being the age I am right now and living through circumstances that have come from everyday life challenges has contributed to being more isolated from society in the little community that I presently live in.

A Lady's Tea is planned and Michele Duggar will be present. Tickets have to be purchsed and there's limited seating.
AND this has been fine.
The being so isolated is about to change...AND this is fine and desired.
The Grandchild I babysit for has grown into a 3 year old and I am purposing it in my heart to venture out more during the daylight hours! I'm not a Vampire or part Night Owl that waits til it's dark to soooocialize...but at times the obvious isolation came from babysitting a one year old Monday through Friday. A very active and fast moving one year old that required a great deal of overseeing and protection with guidance.
AND on the week-ends...WAS much needed time to rest up because I was TIRED. Bone TIRED. Tired TIRED. Leave me be TIRED. I want to sleep in TIRED. I don't want to go anywhere TIRED.
The 'NEEDING to stay HOME' because I only had x amount of energy to use concerning sooooocializing with other Stay AT Home Mommas and the growing population of Grannys that help their children by providing ChildCare in the HOME ENVIRONMENT...has had its welcomed place. A HAVEN!!!!!
On some days I'd just assume stay at home than to go go go go and then go some more. I have my moments when I WANT TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE and SHOP! Thus far...having a young child with me has been alright and I have actually had alot of fun going shopping with her.
There are times I have really enjoyed shopping by myself as well. So keeping a healthy and happy balance is a must.
There are times I want to be alone and there are times I crave having fellowship with others. Once again keeping a healthy and happy balance is a must.
God continues to open my eyes about the things of God, the GOODNESS of God, enjoying being around early childhood developement, LIFE, people, Christian living in a fallen world, and the list goes on!!!
Almighty God is so good, but when one is deliberately rebellious, deceived or ignorant of HIM...calamity comes and it AINT PRETTY.
Back to being blessed by blogland...I read an April 16th post written by Emily at
'A Beautiful Life'...You can find her at http://www.emsbingy.blogspot.com/
She shares her Testimony about The Joy of Children...I enjoyed reading her story about what she and her husband went through. I hope you'll visit her sight.

Also on her Blog she has mentioned THE BABY CONFERENCE.
'A Historic Family Summit on the TRIUMPH of LIFE Over the Culture of Death'
A Lady's Tea is planned and Michele Duggar will be present. Tickets have to be purchsed and there's limited seating.Have you given it some thought that there is evil in this world and it desires to steal from you, kill you and destroy you??? This evil desires to molest your soul and prevent you from being who you are meant to be.
The culture of death is a real thing and we live in amongst it in this fallen world. To have triumph of life over this culture of death is a GOD THANG.
I wish I could go and see first hand how this conference is presented. I can't go, but I may have to order some of their DVDs and recordings.
When I think about the culture that I grew up in...it did have an serious effect on me...I WAS Rebellious and very worldly. I thumbed my nose at Godly counsel and ignored listening to God's Instructions. I WAS very self centered and demanding. I WAS very I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR. I WAS very ignorant and StUpId.
I WAS very much a product of the fallen nature of mankind. MORE about this later...I just know from personal experience...it TAKES THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD to open our eyes of understanding with coming to the end of ourselves and desiring to walk in the ways of the LORD to be victorious. VICTORIOUS and a CHAMPION!
You can make excuses and argue all you want...I did for a very long time. I used so called logic for years...it doesn't hold up when you have a personal encounter with the Holy Ghost. When those scales fall off your eyes...the logic just doesn't hold up. When the Holy Ghost falls a fresh on you...the excuses you have used and the arguments you have entertained...just don't stand up.

Thank you, dear friend. Your words touched my heart today. I have been struggling with balance for the past several weeks. With my husband traveling as much as he has been and my kids involved with their own lives, my friends working, and dealing with severe allergies, I have been alone a LOT! And I have been relishing in it. However, I am learning that I NEED to be among people...and I have been having to force myself to get out of my little office/studio and interact...even if it's just with the cashier at the grocery store.

Such a beautiful and inspiring post! Thank you so much for mentioning my blog. I have found a great blessing in the friends I have met online - it is so wonderful to find like-minded individuals who help to encourage and lift and cheer you on!
I am so excited for the Michelle Duggar tea and I hope to register for the baby conference this week. It looks so inspiring!
Have a blessed weekend!
Deanna,
This is so beautifully written! I think many of us can relate to the rebellion of youth and the pure joy of finding our Lord and serving Him!
Blessings,
