More on my grandmother
February 28th, 2005There are details I inadvertently omitted about my grandmother.
Not only did she have 8 children in 11 years, they were all born at home. That is as natural as natural childbirth gets. Maybe there was a neighbor to help out for a day or two, but she and my grandfather were running a farm throughout all this. Also, her first child was a girl.. followed by seven boys.
Just try to imagine having seven boys and a girl, all under 12, in a small 3 bedroom farm house on a working farm without running water. And she was happy.
I whine if I lose internet access for a few hours. What a spoiled, sissy generation we are.
I like your grandmother even more. I’ve had 5 of my 7 at home and the last two were just my husband and myself present. He caught them and it was a profound experience for him. What a role model your grandmother was! You really were blessed to know her. May Father bless you some day with a woman of that calibur when you are healed and life is where you could appreciate that blessing.

What a spoiled, sissy generation we are.
Makes me feel like an absolute whiner. My life is easy street compared to that!
I caught my first one. The second was intended to be a home birth. It was an unavoidable C-section. (Believe me, I resisted but there was no other way in the situation. She was in imminent danger. Her name is Emily and she’s now four.)
As for your wonderful hope… Do they even make those kinda women anymore?
Yep, I believe Father has quite a few of them. I have been in correspondance with several online, even, and know some in real life. But we are all a work in progress. I think the most important thing in looking for a life-mate is if they are abandoned to Yeshua, if they know about the cross-life. If not, then they are still walking in selfishness and wanting their own way. You wait, when the time is right and you ask Father for a woman of the calibur of your grandmother, He will give you one. After my first marriage failed, I had some very specific request for Father about another husband, if He had one for me. He gave me the desire of my heart and my husband and I have a wonderful relationship. You can ask Arielle. We have had very few fights in the almost 7 years since we married. I could count them on one hand and they probably wouldn’t even qualify as fights if you really looked at them. One was where I blew up when my husband shaved all the hair off of his head (I had been too busy to cut it so he took matters into his own hands). I was sooo upset but he just laughed at me getting so upset, so I guess it wasn’t really a fight since he didn’t fight back. Anyway, there is hope. I know so and I know you will know at the right time. He will tell you.

He’s got a wife for you and a mother for your little girls. When He’s ready, He’ll present her to you.
