waiting for november rain....

i am here working and working and waiting for the november rain! keep moving and hoping the miracles will happen....

Welcome to my little blog and thanks for being here; this is all about what I think, what is happening around me and mainly for myself only.

As parents we didn’t do everything right. Even though we were both Christians when we married, we thought at times about calling it quits in the first few years. Thanks to our upbringing and religious convictions, divorce was never a word in my vocabulary. Separation, our only allowable alternative, was highly impractical! At times we thought GOD made a serious mistake in bringing us together!

Despite our genuine faith and regular Bible study, for the first two years of our marriage we were only marginally successful in making Christianity work comfortably in our own home. We experienced frequent conflict over many things.

The only thing we always agreed on in those early years was that we truly loved our children and could not bear to see their lives torn apart by a failed marriage!
GOD was gracious and He helped us learn how to live together and love one another, despite our very stubborn ways!
