stuggle

This has been a year of change. We have had several difficult things to happen. I am convinced that God is cleaning out the relationships that have been a drain to our family. Howard and I are weary with people expecting us to emotionally and finically be their providers. We have done this to the point it affects our family. We will continue to give where and when God directs. We will continue to open our home and hearts to others. We will however be more careful and search God more. Our first priority is to God after that it is to our sons. The actions and attitudes several people is hurting our son's and we can not allow that to continue. We have sought God through prayer and reading the word and have peace in God that we have made the correct choices. There are many generational curses and spiritual strongholds that are in play here. We have to take a stand against them and to chose to break them in our family- we did this years ago. Now we are at the place that we do not open our family to the affect of these strongholds. We will not entertain them. This is probably the hardest place we have been. It hurts and saddens us that the actions of certian people have brought us to this place. Have we been perfect? No. Have we made mistakes? Yes. Do we hope to learn and become stronger in God through this? Absolutely. My caution to anyone who would like to judge in this area is until you have walked here be careful to judge.
