Celebrating 37 Glorious Years

Today is my 37th birthday---I was told I was born a minute after the Fourth of July.

I am grateful to the Lord for 37 years of glorious life and 14 years of being a new creation. I would not be here if it were not for His mighty saving hand that spared me from myself!

Have a great week, everyone!

June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her Home said...: Ladies,

Thank you so much---I had a wonderful day with my husband. Believe me, I am happy as a clam if I get to spend time with him.

Dearest Nadine,

I am so touched by your post--what a great b-day 'gift' you have given me! The Lord is doing a mighty work in your life---I praise Him because He is exalted through your life and He gets all the glory and praise. Keep up the good work He has called you to---and know that He is pleased with you, His daughter. It is not always easy to make decisions for Him, but as I've learned along the way---we come to a point in our lives that we need to listen to His voice and His voice alone. Even if it contradicts what man 'knows'---from the beginning of time the Word of God has contradicted our feeble knowledge and still continues to today. We are challenged to live a life that dies for Him, at all costs, ignoring the rest of the world.

Nadine, continue building up your sacred home for your King and the world--to be a light for Christ to them and raising the next generation that will fight for Him.

Many blessings...; July 7, 2008 at 8:27:00 AM CDT

June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her Home said...: Dear Mrs. Sewell,

Congratulations! I took a peek at your blog and she is beautiful! You are blessed and have been entrusted to an incredibly high calling which is motherhood.

Many blessings...; July 12, 2008 at 8:43:00 AM CDT

BLESSED MOTHERHOOD

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Making Our Homes a Beautiful Refuge

"Thank God, O women, for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen it it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D

I Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman
