Oh well...
I did not go to a birth last night, but there is one woman who will have an unassisted birth- that was her plan, and then will have the midwife come later-so I was not to go to that one anyway-not sure if that one happened last night or not.
I have been awake now for hours...I think that I will go down stairs soon...
Friday evening, my computer plug broke. Well, fr om moving the computer from one room to another, and plugging it in here and there-it messed with the cord, so the thing inside of the computer (it is a lap top) broke. That would mean the battery could not stay charged...
So frustrating, esp since this has been my link to many of you who have been nice enough to stay in contact with me-even if on a small scale (would have loved to hear from a few of you a bit more-hint hint) -so I put the computer on the shelf-which is not a bad think in itself....
Yesterday then husband of the woman who hopefully delivered last night (who is a computer guy) - when they stopped by to see the midwife, took a look at my computer and said he thought he could fix it. I agreed to let him take it home-but was not sure at first. I said-well you might be having a baby-so are you sure? He thought it would be fine, he could look at it after the children (they currently have 5) go down for a nap-and it would keep him busy while he waited for his wife to go into labor!
So last evening, it was fixed and my hostess picked it up for me!
Yeah!
He would not take any money for the repair, so I was fully blessed! I thought, I will give him or his wife something -like a gift --for doing this, and the LORD clearly spoke to me and said-can you just not accept a blessing without trying to give something back and make it about you giving this time? Hummm...wow! I had not thought of that-so I humbly just accept the gift and REALLY do appreciate it, but the LORD did teach me about giving and receiving. I love to give things-I love giving gifts and blessing people and I guess have a bit of a hard time just receiving HIS blessings from the body of CHRIST-- back to me without returning the blessing.
Sometimes it is not about returning the blessing but just accepting, for what ever reason. Maybe HE is giving this couple a different chance to give or teaching them something about giving, or what ever, and by me returning the blessing at this time-it might have interfered with HIS will. See, even in little things like this, we have to be sure we are in HIS will.
We just never know!
Well anyway, it is great to be able to type again, and share with all of you!
Hopefully I will be able to share that I am coming home soon
Have a great day!
Ireena
Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
Psalm 28
