There was a woman at our church who believed that you should begin having children as soon as you get married and tried pushing her ideas on us. However, she and her husband would not be paying the bills in our home or providing for our family. We needed to make sure that followed what we believed God directing us to do and not let the expectations of others dictate what we did.godlyrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989496246015265363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127265113877882150.post-54644323264425863092010-03-11T11:26:01.375-05:002010-03-11T11:26:01.375-05:00Wow this post was so encouraging Suzette :) Someon...Wow this post was so encouraging Suzette :) Someone this week tried to put a guilt trip on me about wanting to go to Mount Zion and the reason that it was so far away! But I know I have to stand in the power of God and not in the wisdom of men!

So many of these that I need to work on...I especially liked "Break away from peoples expectations" - I've always struggled with this, but for example: I don't want to have a 'status quo' marriage - I want one SO much better! So it stands to reason that the choices I make are going to be strange to some and certainly not the norm - because I'm not going for the norm. I also liked the "Do something outrageous" (to avoid stagnation). Great reminder! I'm thinking of something outrageous I can do today :-) Hope you have a good one.~Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207023707994396637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127265113877882150.post-11391385339740222912010-03-11T07:44:31.297-05:002010-03-11T07:44:31.297-05:00Suzette - you always amaze me with your words!!! ...Suzette - you always amaze me with your words!!!
