Kristine, I've been praying for you since first reading this...and life got nuts with our adventurous PCS move.....but I'm praying that things are better...and hoping to catch up on blogs as I have nothing to do now but wait for paperwork to arrive so that I can try to leave the country again. ::snort:: .-= De'Etta´s last blog ..Up to the Minute Prayer Requests =-.

Hi, I haven’t read your blog in over a month. I finally had our baby girl on April 23rd. Hope all is well. From looking at your blog, one thought comes to mind.
“You have a beautiful Family.”

May God helps us to have eyes that see like He sees.
To have a heart that feels like He does, and a love that shows His likeness.

Sincerely,
Linda

Hello! I thought I would stop by your blog today. I don’t blog much, but I do read some blogs from time to time.

I could’ve written your post. My kids and I were just talking about this very subject. I do agree that many people who profess to be Christian, are indeed NOT saved. However, there are many Christians in the church with a very humanistic worldview too. I also believe that satan is attacking families, Christians, and The Church. So many people are at odds with each other. Christians are being divided over minor issues. Long time friendships are ending over nothing. No one seems to care anymore. We have several friends that we believe really care about us, but none in a 100 mile radius! It is hard to find a church because the world has crept in. I could go on and on. So many people hurting. I too and so thankful for my Savior who bears all of my burdens and carries me and NEVER changes. I am also thankful for my wonderful (immediate) family. We are all best friends. We don’t have any extended family that we can fellowship with. I just can’t wait for heaven when the sin nature will be gone and we will all live in peace.

Kristine,
Thanks for being so transparent. I have recently felt the same way you spoke of in your blog and I have learned from recent loss and grief. One of the greatest lessons to come out of feeling and being “alone” for me was the realization that as christians we have to be more than words, we must be doers! I am sorry for your recent loss.

You ARE in my prayers.
Korin

I found out much of what you’re speaking about a few years ago; it’s a miserable place to be, not having good, solid support from those who claim to be your “family”, but if there’s one blessing, it’s that you really do come out of it understanding the peace of God and how much He wants us to lean on Him.

Oh, and people really do read about struggles; who knows how many people you could bless sharing what you’re going through?

Hi Kristine, I used to leave commnents but then the comments were closed for a while, and after that life here got hectic with a very sick child. I too have only a few friends but unfortunatly the only one who is a strong christian lady,(but she lives in the states, me in England) but none who feel and believe as my husband and I do. Our families think we are mad for our lifestyle choices of trying to live biblically. They just think we are too religous. But I know that God loves us and carries us when the burdens are tough and if you want just send me an email and I’ll pray any time. Sending you hugs

Aw thanks Ruby! Sometimes I wonder if maybe I am a bit too honest here. So many times people do not want to hear about struggles. I am often put on a pedastool by others and expected to be perfect or at least not let others know when I am not perfect. I am far from it.

One of the ironies of the blog world – if you don’t blog much and comment you loose readers. But these are only cyber friends.
Another irony is that sometimes it seems we meet up up with more like minded folk on the net than in our real lives! Though I am blessed at present with both close family and friends near by I do remember very lonely days and pray this will pass for you. The Lord draws us through some dark valleys but it is always to draw us closer to him.
Kristine, it is such a blessing to read your honest posts.
What you are going through is true to life and most readers will have experienced it, if not they will at some time, if they are truly seeking the Lord. You have not chosen to gloss over real life and make out as though every thing is wonderful. This makes you a real life and down to earth person that we can relate to and not some unattainable dream in the christian, homeschooling, SAHM world.
God bless you and your family. May he give you the desire of your heart as you delight in him.
Ruby (An internet friend who looks forward to meeting you in glory one day!!)

Amen! I totally agree with you. I really don’t have any real close friends outside of my family group, but even my family doesn’t “get” my walk of faith. We have seven kids now, and I wouldn’t mind more, but you can tell that they all think we’re a little crazy, so I really have no one to share my burdens and concerns with either! Thankfully, like you said, we have a Savior who hears our every prayer and knows before we even pray it! And who feels our every pain and treasures our every tear!
