Let It... What???

Snow!

It came.

Here.

This is how it looked Monday night, but by Tuesday night
it had almost all melted away and hardly any is left now

It's the earliest snow I can remember for us.  I'm sure
old timers have memories of even earlier snows.

The funny thing is, when it was snowing it's hardest,
we were all so busy we almost missed seeing the
big, beautiful flakes as they were falling.

One our gals just happened to check Facebook,
and saw all of the posts concerning SNOW!

We were excited, because it was so pretty
and had no idea at all it was even in the forecast.

The reason behind our busyness?  The reason we
almost missed out on watching the flakes drift down?

Crafts!

We're all working on different things, and these pictured above are mine.

Just something I played with long ago, have slightly piddled
with through the years, and now have decided to try
again on a larger scale, maybe?

I'm hoping to get enough made to place in a friends
craft store/flea market.

And so as we piddle, and create, the world keeps on
spinning, things are happening, and thankfully we
take little breaks and look out the window when
friends help remind us other things are going on.

What keeps you all busy during the long winter months?

I'd love to hear!

Blessings to you all!

Col. 3:18  "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord."


As you all know, we've started building tables to sell. Right now it is just a side business, we would love it, if it grew into more than that.  (We've dreamed of a business, that he and I could have together.)


This summer we built a table for display purposes to display at a farmer's market. We had hauled it up there a few times, and we got a lot of good exposure. A lot of people really loved that table, but it was a little too long for their needs, so it didn't sell. We've had it in our garage, trying to decide what to do with it. When we first announced our business several families showed interest, and said they wanted a table but never placed an order. Time kept passing and nothing, no new orders for some time.


So, Mr. C asked me to contact all of those families, and let them know we were discounting the price of our display table, mainly to get it out of the way and also because it did get a few dings in the hauling back and forth to the market. When we do get another order, we will need the space to work. 


I hesitated and put off doing what he had asked. I was afraid they would think we were hounding them, trying to twist their arms into buying a table. He reminded me again, that we really needed to try and sell it. I had my own ideas about how we should go about it, and tried to talk him into another way. (bad wife!) But he didn't like those ideas (safety concerns) and asked me once again, to please do what he had asked.  I'm the customer relations rep in this here business of ours. he he


So, I finally submitted and did exactly what he asked. Simple as that. Within minutes of reading the message, one of the potential customers said they were sure they wanted the table and would be out to look at it the next day. They bought the table. And other customers who we haven't heard from in awhile, said they were still interested but that wasn't the color of table they wanted to order, but would be ordering  soon.  BIG SMILE!  


I don't know why I do that? Why do I hesitate and not trust my husband's leadership when he asks me to do something so simple? God blessed us through that act of obedience.  The leadership God provides to us through our husbands, is a blessing.  It's a protection.  And when we step out from under his leadership, we step out of God's will.  We leave ourselves vulnerable and unprotected.   


It was a much needed and timely lesson for me. This year has been just a little crazy to say the least. But God has proven His faithfulness over and over again to us.


Just.Trust.Him!!!  My motto, my reminder.  I'm going to make something with that on it, to remind me of this lesson.  (One that God has to remind me of too often.)  


Pray for me, and I'll pray for each one of you as we submit lovingly to our husbands' leadership.  God has a plan for each one of our lives, as Christian wives.  


Just.Trust.Him!!!
