Some Thoughts...

I attended a purity conference a couple of months ago, and something about it struck me wrong and after thought and what other people have said, I figured out what struck me wrong…

Oh, and by-the-by, if you are easily offended, you don’t need to read any farther… my intent is not to offend, but I’m sure some of what I’m going to say, might.

The attitude at the conference and even a lot of Christian Home Schoolers – of which, I am one- is ‘If God didn’t want me married, He wouldn’t have given me the desire (to get married).’ And to tell you the truth, Hon, that’s foolishness; I realize that sounds harsh, and it kind of is, but by having the attitude ‘if God didn’t want me married, He wouldn’t have given me the desire’, you are making demands of God. You are saying “Well, you made me this way, why haven’t you given me what I want!” That is not good mind-set to have.
I believe that God has hardwired the desire to be married in to most, if not all, of us. We have a need for relationships, we are social creatures, we were meant to be around other people; it’s okay to want that relationship, there comes a point in your life, where the relationships that you have with your parents, your siblings, and even just friends are not as satisfying as they once were. Again, that is okay, but you cannot go making demands of God, it doesn’t work out well.
I think that one of the reasons God gave us the ‘Single Time’ is so that we can learn that He is sufficient; He will supply all of your needs, physical, spiritual, and whatever else you need. (oh, and I do not think that I have this down pat, I’m not trying to take a better-than- you stance on this, God is constantly smackin’ me upside the head going ‘you need to listen!’)
We were created to bring glory to God, and being single, we are in a great position to do just that. We have minimal responsibilities, and minimal expenses, and so… on the off –or maybe not so off- chance that we get called to the lower corner of Zimbabwe, it’s much easier to up and move to Southern Zimbabwe if you are single.
What I’m trying say, is don’t put your life on hold for some guy that is not even here! You make preparations for the storm, but you don’t get in the cellar till you hear the tornado sirens. (Can you tell I live in the Midwest?) By all means pray for your possible future husband, keep your self pure, learn how to be a good wife… but again don’t sit in the ‘castle’ and wait. Half the time, Prince Charming has to do some grunt work to find the Princess. Now don’t go crazy, don’t make the Prince rescue you, don’t purposely grieve your Father in heaven, and don’t grieve your parents, none of those things are good to do.
Maybe God doesn’t have a husband for you or me, it can be alright, God does have something better for us. It certainly won’t be easy, but nothing this side of eternity is. I can tell you this if don’t expect something and get it, it is so much better to be surprised than to expect something and to be heartbroken when it doesn’t happen. Trust me I know what it feels like. Marriage isn’t the end all, who knows… maybe being single is just the beginning!
Thank you for your patience, and reading through my rambling and ranting.

Funny Thing

I work at a hotel doing conventions, banquets ect. Well the other day we had this group and while I’m cleaning one of the rooms and this lady comes up and asks where she can find 'Windsor I-Vee'. Not Windsor IV but 'I-Vee'... sooo... I tell her where to find it. Then a little while later a couple of folks asked me what 'Vee iii' was. And I told them. What makes this story funny is that this was a Teacher's conference. Science teachers...is anyone else weirded out by that?


In other news, I found this on LFGcomic.com

Earth Day...

Today is Earth Day. A celebration of Mother Earth and all she has provided us with.
So in honour of Mother Earth and her providence... turn on all the lights in your home and drive your gasoline powered car, and thank God, the Creator of the universe, and Savior of man, for all of His providence.


Fun Fact About Earth Day: One of the founding members was a man named Ira Einhorn. You can read all about how he killed his girlfriend in a rage by following this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ira_Einhorn


But, Leggyloser has brought to my attention that I'll not make any snarky comments. Happy San Jacinto day!!! And as Leggy also said... we should start a count of Texas holidays that got started by beating the Mexican army like a rented mule. Hehehehehehe...

San Jacinto, Texas, April 21, 1836

Here, where the land meets the sea. Gen Sam Houston’s Army of 783 men has defeated and put to rout Mexico’s Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and his military force of about 1,200 men.
Two Texans were killed and about 30 wounded. Mexican loses were heavy— 630 dead and 700 prisoners.

Houston had 2 horses shot from under him and a rifle ball hit his foot. Hmmm..He's vying for most horses shot out from under him

Happy Day!!

Java

On Febuary 21st Dad got an English Springer Spaniel puppy. Here's some pictures.

Java was eight pounds when we got him.


And now he is twenty-two-ish pounds


This is a video I shot this morning.

Apocalypse Pony

I DO NOT recommend Robot Chicken, it is usually nasty... but having said that, this particular clip is hilarious.

If you've seen any of the actual My Little Pony cartoons it's even funnier.

Roland Thomas Armijo has FINALLY arrived. Yesterday (13th) the doctors induced his mom at 5:30am. The little punk didn't show up till 5:30ish pm. He weighed 7lbs 10ozs. I'll try to get pics up when I have them.

We'll be getting a new arrival as well on the 21st. Dad is getting a English Springer Spaniel B/W that will probably be named Java. He is adorable. I'll get pictures up after we get him.

She lived among us for a while
And brouhgt joy were she went.
We thought she was a gift from God
But learned she was but lent.

Beasleys and Moores,
You all will be in our prayers and thoughts.

With love in Christ,

PANCAKES!!!!!

Mmmmmm, pancakes.

You Are Chocolate Chip Pancakes

You prefer sweet and rich foods. You shy away from anything that's overly bland or unnaturally fat free. It's not likely that someone would find low fat cheese or sugar free cookies in your kitchen. Instead, someone might find a pan of brownies baking in the oven or warm popcorn covered in real butter.

What Kind of Pancakes Are You?
