Hello airtam2worship,
Please forgive if I have put a t where an f or a l should be in your name. These eyes are not so good anymore. I just have started the process of applying for disability. I tried and tried to go back to work, but it just is not going to happen. Also, I think the Lord wanted me to learn to depend on him more and be home which I have never done in the 37.75 years I have been married. Trust has always been a big issue with me and slowly but surely the walls have been torn down in my life. Here was one more wall that needed to be torn down, and it was the thickest of all.


So glad to meet you and I hope to converse with you again sometime. Where do you usually post?

Ellen

Thank you for the welcome Pastor Roger. I am totally glad to be here and to meet other Christains. I see you even have a ladies forum so I think I'll  "walk" over there and meet a new friend or two.

Hi, I am Ellen and I live in north east Georgia. I  am a home maker and have been married, soon to be 38 years to a wonderful husband, who truly seeks God's heart. I am so thankful for this, as my Christain walk has always been a struggle, and my husband's influence on my life and the way he has set an example before me has made me also seek God's heart. I love the Lord and so many times I have fought against His teaching me and maturing me as a Christain through trials.   In the end of the trial I find I have learned SO Much and am so grateful for the struggle. (Although I don't want to go around that mountain again ) Now, I just ask Jesus to help me learn quickly what He is trying to teach and  if He  needs for me to be tested for awhile then give me the strength and wisdom to endure.
My husband and I are just coming (hopefully) out of a trial that has had us both puzzled. We think it could have been a satanic attack, but it has made us draw even closer to Jesus.

O.k. now to who I am. I am a retired hairdresser. I am 54 years old with mutiple health issues. That is why I retired early. My husband and I were wondering how in the world we were going to make it on one income, but find that because we have been faithful with our tithing He has provided for us even more so after I "retired." If any of you wonder or are afraid to tithe don't be, be more afraid of NOT tithing. God is true to his word, He will provide for you abundantly. My grandmother told my husband when we were first married that He as head of household should honor the Lord with tithe and his family will never have to worry. People you can NEVER outgive the Lord. You would not believe how Jesus will take care of His own, or maybe you do!!!!!

We have three grown children and 4 grandchildren. Three of my grandchildren live on the other side of the state and it is hard for us to see them, but we see them as often as we can. One of my grandchildren lives  here in the town where we live and it sure is wonderful to not work and be a "granny."

My husband works for a medical company who makes medical equipment for surgeons. We both love animals, outdoor living, the country, gardening, and our church. We have three horses, and three dogs.  I love the spring when God's beauty is all around. He paints us such a beautiful portrait, doesn't He?  I love sewing, quilting, canning, crafts, and children. I work with the children at our church. They are the light of my life.  Babies to preteen, then I have to admit I am lost, so fortunately there are others who can relate to those teenage years.   

That is about all. Hope it wasn't too boring.
Ellen
