Psalm 126:5-6 reads, "Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him."

The NIV Life Application Bible commentary says, "God’s ability to restore life is beyond our understanding. Forests burn down and are able to grow back. Broken bones heal. Even grief is not a permanent condition. Our tears can be seeds that will grow into a harvest of joy because God is able to bring good out of tragedy. When burdened by sorrow, know that your time of grief will end and that you will find joy."

It is amazing how much sadness the heart can hold for someone whom one never got to know...

What God Promises

He doesn't promise sunny days; just a rainbow at the end of a storm.

He doesn't promise silver and gold; but to provide for your needs.

He doesn't promise to make your life trouble free, just to give you the strength to see things through.

He doesn't promise all the answers, just that He'll direct your path.

He doesn't promise you understanding, but faith that will see you through.

He doesn't promise freedom from despair, only joy and peace in believing.

He doesn't promise that you'll never fail, just that your strength and hope will be renewed.

He doesn't promise you'll have no fears, but that He is always there.

Most of all, He promises unconditional and everlasting love.

 Happy New Year!!!

K-Man and I have been busy setting up house this past week. He's quite the handy man as I'm finding out...(I admit I was skeptical at first), but so far, he's managed to put up a lot of stuff around the house and he can assemble anything that comes with instruction  ...that's my hubby! He's the best!

I really thought life would be more exciting once we get cable tv and internet...well, the truth is...uh...no!    Ro-Bear managed to get us like a gazillion cable channel, we have every single channel available, we even have the cable version of tivo, you can record shows, rewind while watching it in case you miss anything...technology today, incredible!

Day number 4 of stay-at-home-housewife...I am starting to grasp the concept of desperate housewives.  I've never seen an episode of Desperate Housewives, but I'm starting to get the idea of it....it's only day #4 and I'm dyin...I really can't imagine staying home everyday to cook, clean, run errands, do house chores all day, everyday, 365 days of the year!!! Really!!! There's got to be more to life than this!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm plenty busy with lots to do...I think it's the loneliness of it, having to do it all yourself while your husband is at work. When I go shopping during the day, all I see are housewives, or moms shopping...no hubbies around accompanying them. I guess it makes it more bearable when you have other housewives to do things with who are also not working and also need to run the same errands you do. I don't think there are too many of those around...UGH!!! maybe I'm just PMSing...

It's scary how easy it is to forget the day and date when you're on a break .

Update: Still no TV, no internet, but hubby is back

It's my second day of Christmas break...Day number 2 of playing stay-at-home-housewife... So far, I've managed to wake up when K-man gets up, make him breakfast while he gets ready, and pack his lunch and send him off to work. Then I make myself a cup of coffee and do house stuff. I plan to cook dinner every night this week  (that's a big deal for me considering it's the first time I'm cooking on my own) I'm reading "Cooking for Dummies," and whole lotta other cookbooks. Knowing WHAT to cook is half the battle!!!

So...I'm discovering this is the life of a stay-at-home-housewife...you attempt to cook every meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), you go grocery shopping, then just plain shopping, mostly for house stuff, then you clean...it all goes in that cycle, cook, clean, and shop....not too bad huh???...except it's just kinda difficult adjusting to having so much time all of a sudden to run errands, I try to keep busy and productive, so K-man gives me a list of stuff he would like me to do for the day, so I don't end up being a bum wife at home. To sum it up, I do enjoy being a housewife, but I think I would much rather work, especially since we have no lil kiddies at home yet. Somehow, I feel like my time now could be better spent doing what I love doing at work. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I can't get used to cooking, cleaning, and shopping everyday, it's actually a lot of fun...c'mon...what a life!!! but I think eventually, I'll get bored...plus I have limits on what I can shop for, K-man keeps track so I don't go crazy shopping .
