What are you Pursuing?

Good Morning Girls!  When Tom and I were first married, my personality was somewhat "crisis oriented".  I seemed to do better when there was a certain level of drama surrounding me and my life.  If everything was running smoothly, I would tend to rock the boat and get life back to a level where I could sit and complain, and wait for everything to fall apart.  My "shrink" linked this behavior to me having ADHD and depression.  I link it to being a young, naive pagan baby who did not know the Lord!  I had no idea what a godly relationship was, let alone a godly marriage!  My resources on relationships were tv, movies, the bars, and my equally lost friends!  How was I to know that God wants us to live a life filled with love, joy, and peace?  How was I to know what a real friendship looked like?  A friendship where you did not gossip about whomever was not present at the time?  Sure,  I knew this wasn't right, but I didn't know life to be any other way!   Thank you Jesus for saving me from myself!  When I was born again, everything changed.  Some things happened instantly, other things have taken years.  I quit hanging out with almost all of my friends.  I began to look for friends who had qualities I wanted.  For every friend I lost, the Lord gave me two or three awesome ones in their place!  It was all very new to me, meeting girls that were genuine and non competitive.  Girls that truly wanted me to be happy.  I have been blessed beyond measure in my friendships!   Thank you Renee, for HomeMakers!  I know the Lord would have helped me find new friends, but HomeMakers sure made it easy! 

2 Timothy 2:22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peaceEnjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts

Love to all my pure hearted girls-
Jen
