I believe that caring for a parent's needs can be hard work, but it is actually a very high honor as well. <br />My mom made it perfectly clear that she doesn't want me to care for her. She is more content with my sister. I am thankful that she is not alone all the time and that they have each other. <br />Yes, I constantly remind myself to give God control of the situation. I trade Him control for peace. (I come out the winner.) ;-)<br />Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. It always helps to know we are not alone.

The year after my ...Lavonda - I know how you feel. The year after my dad died, I was looking at my future as a "new life" - not because my dad died, but because I was stopping the work I'd been doing for 14 years and life was changing. I now have responsibility for my mom, taking over what Dad did and that has changed the relationship between Mom and I. I understand what you mean about stepping stones - that first year after Dad died was hard, not the "new life" I was anticipating, but more of a different section of the path. I am still finding my way with the thought firmly in my mind that God is in control.Panhandle Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489013931979467682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305573774372669892.post-2060606144350429902014-03-25T15:07:50.977-05:002014-03-25T15:07:50.977-05:00Dear Lavonda...I didn't know you had a new blo...Dear Lavonda...I didn't know you had a new blog, so I hopped over and added it to my feed reader...<br /><br />My heart hurts for you over the loss of your dad, but your words about him and the time you shared were profoundly sweet...I suspect he would be quite pleased with his "writer"...<br /><br />Your post really resonated with me today...although our journeys are different, OVERWHELMED was the word pouring thru my soul yesterday evening...I shut the door and cried and prayed and still felt no less burdened and unsettled than when I started...today was a new day with new mercies but my spirit still has been hampered by worries and cares that I shouldn't be carrying....these words here:<br /><br /><i>"There is a new hopeful day dawning, and I am certain of that because there is evidence of God's goodness and faithfulness in days past. He has already proved Himself. All I needed to do was look back and see.</i>" gave me a much needed reminder of the blessed daughter I am of the most high God...thank you for sharing your words as I truly needed to read them....I look forward to reading your new blog soon!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788724686085310730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305573774372669892.post-55074070040831635432013-06-10T13:03:15.964-05:002013-06-10T13:03:15.964-05:00Hey girl!

I have never felt let down by visiting here...your wit and point of view are engaging and make the edification you supply to your readers a wonderful blessing tied up with a bow!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your new blog...it may be a while before I stop by but I WILL stop by...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788724686085310730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305573774372669892.post-9509939592662251672013-05-08T08:26:26.774-05:002013-05-08T08:26:26.774-05:00Thank you very much, Frank!

Therefore, I don't think you will ever catch me telling God I won't do something He wants me to do just because it's not one of the top three on my list of gifts. And some things that I have done very well in the past and enjoyed doing don't appeal so much to me any more. (Maybe I'm just old and tired.) I think ANY test or assessment is just a starting point and something to build on.<br /><br />I haven't tried Skype since we've been here. It all depends on the strength of the wishy washy wi fi.

He was trying to fill the fresh water tank...but maybe he had taken a little blue pill the night before, I don't know...anyway, he mistakenly began filling the black water tank. He too must have gotten busy...ummm, not sure he was folding clothes or sweeping, tho he does sweep sometimes...probably reading Fox news on his laptop. Anyway our first clue was the gurgle coming from the bathroom. I went to check, and suspicious light brown water was coming up into both lavatories. OH NO! Randy ran outside, I just kept screaming HURRY!...hoping it wouldn't overflow. Thankfully, it didn't. I put on disposable rubber gloves and filled the lavatories full of crumpled paper towels to absorb it, and Randy scooped it out into garbage bags. The only problem then was that Randy also scooped out our little stoppers and I then had to dig through those garbage bags to find them. YUCK! Then I disinfected everything and we were back in business. I'll bet most RV'ers have a similar story, you think?Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282845277038840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305573774372669892.post-86358110621043234012012-06-27T23:39:40.857-05:002012-06-27T23:39:40.857-05:00You know I have too many thoughts to write out. ;)...You know I have too many thoughts to write out. ;)<br /><br />I used the assessment tests as a guideline to help me narrow down my spiritual gifts. The reason being the same thing you mentioned. I wasn't sure if I was answering as objectively as I wanted to. According to my first assessment I had the gift of giving. When I told a good friend she said "YOU???". Okay, maybe not. LOL. I found it had a lot to do with how the questions were posed. I continued to pray about it and our SS class did a study of the spiritual gifts from the bible not from an assessment test. As I prayed through the study God began to reveal to me which were my gifts. So all of that is just to say that I do believe you have narrowed your gifts to the likely top candidates. Dig into the Word everywhere it talks about the gifts and ask God to show you.<br /><br />I have more to say but tired of typing. Typing is NOT one of my spiritual gifts. :)<br /><br />Do you have skype capability where you are?
