Heartache

My heart breaks for them.

I don't know what to say or do.

So I pray and pray.

I see the hurt in both of them.

Can they overcome this?

Only time will tell.

Back to Basics...What does it mean?

2009

BACK TO  THE BASICS

BACK TO THE BASICS

What did it mean?  These four words kept coming to me.  I would tell myself and A that I wanted to get back to the basics.  What does that mean to you A would ask? 

I would answer I'm not sure.  A smaller house? A simpler life I'm sure. A different job? Less pay?  How do I get back to the basics??

I'm not sure what it means or even what it is but I feltl I must find it for myself.

When I thought of  getting back to the basics it was living in a small town, smaller house, no worries to speak of, serving God.

Fast Forward August 2010

Back to the Basics

Having a garage sale that would get rid of  so much stuff that I carried around for years, furniture, appliances, lawn furniture and more.  This stuff was weighing me down!

Leaving a job with a very good salary for a job that didn't pay near as much.

Moving back to my small hometown.

Moving into a small 2 bedroom duplex versus a 4 bedroom home with a pool.

Feeling peace!  Getting back to the basics!

Knowing I was doing God's will for me to live a simpler life and for HIM!

Excited  about figuring out where this was leading me.  Wanting to serve God where He wanted me.
