The year was 2006 a year filled with surprises, good and bad. Have you ever noticed when God is answering prayers the enemy is right behind Him, trying to take a bite out of your heel. No kidding that happened to me! A dog bit me in the heel while showing houses.LOL The same is with that ugly, ugly serpent that rears his head. Our daughter becoming engaged and my daddy disowning his child. He had allowed greed to set in and me to question his relationship with God.
After years of praying for a Godly man to come in our daughters life, the prayer was answered. She became engaged in September of 2006 and we started to plan a wedding for March 2007. Who wouldn't have been happy when such exciting things were going on. If only I knew how exciting and what to expect. Things were going great in real estate and with Mike building houses we were planning and going on mission trips. God was so blessing us. Exciting and sad all at the same time. Wait, did you hear in this that we where not being good stewards. I thought that is what you heard me say. Somewhere back we lost the connection with God. He didn't lose it with us we did with Him.
Mike and I were running into two different directions. He was running toward the world and I was running as far as I could to get away from it. I had a broken relationship with my daddy that I needed God to heal. We also had a daughter getting married and wanted God to be the center of their lives. Do you know what it feels like to play "tug of war"? That was the game Mike and I were playing. I just wasn't strong enough to pull him over the line.
