My responses to the Comments

I am so sorry my system will not allow me to comment on posts.  I have tried everything I know to do to fix this but it just doesn’t work. So I do desire to respond to your very uplifting comments.

Sue and Faith,   We could not be happier in our new church. Our pastor is so wonderful. He really cares for each person who walks in the door.  He greeted us on our first day, and his caring personally was so evident.  I was going through my gall bladder problem at the time and I felt perfectly at ease speaking to him about it and he prayed with me and was faithful to follow up.  We joined about a month ago and we really feel we have found a precious family there.  We are blessed. 

Wendy, Joy, Suzanne, Linda, Karen, Jean, Monique, Luludou,  and Kirstin,interestingly last  fall through the terrible time of my gall bladder problem that continued for 2 months, I thought a lot about this home project.  It helped give me a focus and something to look forward to. It all started watching the Christmas hallmark movies which I love.  I was taken by the beautiful homes which to me were as meaningful as the players. I noticed so very many of them had a lot of rooms that were painted a very light blue and I fell in love.  Thus the idea of painting the downstairs was birthed. Interest ly, it took me probably a month to pick the right blue because it was very light. I finally chose Behr’s Era which is very light blue in the morning, but as the day wears on becomes richer and richer and I love it!So we started painting around Valentine’s Day and so far we have finished the living room, dining room, kitchen and the walls of the hall. The hall has 5 doorways but 3 doors.  That is going to hang up the flow of painting.  The last room is the den.  We are introducing a new color there.  We have a wall of bookcases surrounding a double hung window and window seat over the radiator.  I am very excited about the color we chose!But the den will be the most difficult room, wall paper border, and figuring out how to disassemble the radiator cover to make a much more efficient screen for allowing heat to escape.  But I am thrilled to be this far along!

Dear friends, I appreciate so much your words of concern and comfort for me.  Yes,  Remarkably, I have had seemingly one thing after another since lockdown.  My take on this is I’m undergoing spiritual warfare.  I am a prayer warrior. I say this because Lynn and I have met just about every week to pray with an amazing prayer team.  I also attend weekly a Bible Study on the Minor Prophets  as we study what to expect during the “last days”. My study leader and prayer leader is one in the same an amazing missionary who just returned from a 2 week trip to the Congo  where he was encouraging the pastors there. But he is also our weekly prayer leader for  Intercessors for America group.  There we pray for our communities, our nation, the church, schools, our leaders, the world situation our  culture, etc.  When all my strange ailments became so rampant he told me Satan was afraid of the woman you are becoming! His wife, Nita, is the same ..has one thing right after another, but we cannot allow it to take us down.  I know God is with me and will see me through or take me home.  But  as I remain He is preparing me for more he has for me.  I truly believe this and so I can persevere  to look forward to the day!

 I love blogging,  and getting to know you dear ladies.  It is my favorite outlet.  Blessings to you all, love Carolyn
