I love to weave and find it so peaceful. I live in the Adirondacks of NY with my husband and granddaughter. Just recently my daughter and 2 younger grandchildren came to live with us. Finding peace had been a struggle because my work load has doubled. I'm so thankful that the Lord has given me the strength to be content in all walks of life. <br />Thank you,<br />Valerie<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735570620413712405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-39033582048362588362013-01-17T06:41:55.942-08:002013-01-17T06:41:55.942-08:00Hi Karen -

...Hi Karen - <br /><br />Joyce Meyer is a favorite of mine. <br /><br />I often think back to when I was growing up. There were less demands on our time and energy. The Internet and Social Media didn't exist. We hung clothes on a line in the backyard, and sat on the back porch to catch a cool breeze on a sultry summer night.<br /><br />In some ways I miss those times. The pace was slower even if we didn't have many of the conveniences we now enjoy.<br /><br />While I wouldn't want to go back to those days, I'm aware of the need to edit my activities.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Do...I find it best to ask myself...is there a need? Do I really think this will better myself,my family or someone else? Is this in God's plan for me? To any other question I ask myself..I asked these questions first! Goes for any decision I may be having to make as well. While my life is simple...I don't have much money....not a lot of stuff (weeding through what I do have)....I don't travel,though I would like to some,but not a lot still I don't have the money to do so. All that being said...I don't find my life to complicated,which I see as a huge blessing...while others may find me poor and underprivileged....I find having less ...brings more peace. I have learn to be content to live with my needs being met and not always wanting for more. I hope this makes a little sense...what I am trying to relay here :)<br /><br />I do so admire the Amish...for their faithfulness to God...their commitment to live as they believe God's will is for them. Their willingness to help in their community as well as outside their faith. Their wonderful work ethics. That they choose to live a life of simplicity which does lack many choices we outside their faith have. I believe they have chosen the best thing....I hope to do the same in my own lifestyle.....blessings Simply Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933046149294440134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024717531907322725.post-56668683875473560072013-01-15T14:18:04.127-08:002013-01-15T14:18:04.127-08:00I need to make our lives simpler.

However this weekend in the middle of both my computers dying on me- I found myself in a total panic. A) I wasnt sure if the books I was working on could be pulled back up I wasnt sure what I was going to do about a deadline on a contract. So for awhile anyway the weekend was very stressful for me.virginialover4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165503586049088233noreply@blogger.com
