A spark in my heart
Posted On 03/20/2009 15:24:20 by ashleybstarr
You know those times when God is quiet? Im having one of those weeks/days where I am not hearing a lot so I am being quiet too. Listening for as some of my friends here have suggested, that still small voice. In some of my comments I have heard and maybe it was God talking too because the verse came to mind to me earlier today that a good tree bears good fruit.
I think maybe God wants me to search. To read, to ask. I have been thinking about inviting missionaries over.
I want the house to be clean first of course
That is not always so easy with two munchkins. I have not been getting the hours I need at work, we are barely getting by, I am knee deep in the study of medical terminology and all the while I am waiting for that certainty. I feel like I can bare the rest if only I am sure of who God is. Where he is.
I am afraid that I want this and so my mind will convince me it is true. Its sort of embarrassing to admit and I am sure that some of you really dont like the show but though I have always had an interest in LDS, it was watching Big Love that sparked my interest again. My husband has joked that I must be hinting at wanting sister wives but I dont and I know the show does not dipict true LDS for the most part. There are things in the show I dont want to see but the family dinamic is so alluring. As upset as some LDS where that the show would dipict temple cloathing, I saw the character Barbs experiance and it almost made me cry. It was so beautiful and I wanted to know that. To sit with people that I know I would know and love in enternity.
I feel so sorry for those people who really do live on compounds. We have one here in BC in a place called Golden. Being so close to the truth and yet so far away. Thats how my Protastant faith felt. It breaks my heart.
Thank you everyone for your comments.
I have hope I may find my way after all. Pray my husband does too please. He is so unsure about all of Christianity and yet he knows there is a God, knows there are moral truths.
Thank you again.

Ashley

Ashely, I cook dinner tonight for a man who is 66 years old and three sisters missionaries. Three weeks ago the sisters were tracking door to door and came upon this gentle being. I have been with the sister's twice before teaching and sharing the restored gospel. Tonight I did indeed see a difference in his manner. I am 59 going on 60 in August, I have been a member for just over two years. I had to clean my kitchen counters but they needed cleaning anyway. Ashely, if you are hearing promptings to have the missionaries over please do. Just having them in the home is a blessing to you and your family. Don't worry about a messy house, having kids and a husband it never stays clean. I will pray for you and your family and please invite the missionaries over, you will feel the blessing.
