Friends, i will be taking a hiatus from blogging to take time to seek God's heart for what He wants with this blog. If God can use my enjoyment of writing for His glory, than i want to continue, however, if my blog is devoid of Him and His power in spite of "spiritual talk", than i want nothing to do with it. Thank you for praying.

Darla, I am not sure what has pressed you to question your blog.....but I want to encourage you. I see the Lord working in both you and Marlin....don't turn back. Every step that the Lord allows you to take forward in holiness....the devil will be there saying it is legalism. Every broken confession will be followed with the accusation of self righteousness. We will stand with you in prayer.

Thanks Rex and Billie, i appreciate the encouragement and know that you mean it. How long my hiatus lasts remains to be seen.........
ReplyDeletejust a thought someone shared with me.... this is our 1st year of homeschooling and i was ready to give up and a friend reminded me that the devil might be wanting me to quit and not get a closer relationship with my boys..... do not know what u r facing... praying God will show u His way.

Darla,I have never posted a comment on your blog before,but I just want you to know how your posts have inspired me and have made me to look deeper into my heart.You see,I too am a farmers wife and face many of the same challenges as you.I had been feeling very discouraged and my sister told me about your blog.I have cried many times while reading and I must say it has encouraged me to keep on keeping on.God bless you richly and give you strength and wisdom.~Rhoda Detweiler
ReplyDeleteDarla, your blog has been a great encouragement to me as well. I'd miss hearing from you if you'd decide to quit, but you need to follow His leading. I'll be praying He makes His answer clear to you.
ReplyDeleteMuch love, Karen
Darla, I must admit I check your blog at least 3 times a week hoping for an update! A lot of your blogs have been things I was "struggling" :) or battling with too, so I have found them encouraging. Praying that you!
