I have been reading Scripture everyday and I feel so encouraged and when I hear terrible things like yesterday I heard on the radio they were attacking a great Australian Christian woman because she obeys the Bible and I thought Praise God! What a woman of God! She must be doing something right she has them so upset! Before this would have got me down. Now I think how the apostles were attacked/ murdered... nothing has changed.<br />Do what you can to build yourself up, put on the whole armour of God and make your home a lovely sanctuary!

You have to carve out little spaces for yourself and have "your" places and things so that they make you happy. I think the bedside table is one area for instance that you can have so pretty!

We bought a fixer-upper 18 months ago AND I live in a house full of boys! Slowly but surely, I'm finding ways to make the home as lovely and calm as I can. It's hard not to get anxious and just want to rip everything out and start fresh! I'm finding little touches here and there, smells, flowers, music, ect really have an affect on my mood, so I should do them for myself. Even if they don't matter to anyone else, everyone is affected by mama's mood, right?? lol I just love everything about your blog, Annabel. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into posting here!

You are right that we need to go to the Bible each day for strength and encouragement, I know I need to do this for myself. I am looking forward to this series as I like a serene home but my husband bought a red lounge suite from a friend a few years ago....I have hated it but yay it is going on monday, everything else in my home is white or neutral so I get to buy a new lounge suite now and am so excited.

Annabel and Sewingcreations15, Thank you for the encouraging words and advice! I know that I have to let this go as my heath has suffered because of it. The two of you have made my days much brighter knowing that I'm not alone in my situation. All the money we've spent on attorney's while we have scrimped and saved our entire married life ( 30 yrs in June) for a honeymoon we never had. I trust in God's plan for us and Karma will see her way back.

Yes in our case also there was legal nightmares and violence from them towards us. The last address they have me at is care of my solicitors office :) . <br /><br />May I say that once you move it will take you around 6 months to settle and stop worrying but life will be far better and more peaceful.<br /><br />Know that you are not alone in the world and many people have gone through this.<br /><br />Sewingcreations15.

Pray a lot over it as really toxic people will hate it if you are out of their line of fire and try to mess up your plans. So be very private about everything. I learned a long time ago this lesson... I was a very open door person. The door only has to be open a crack for some people to cause trouble. But you stick to it and I hope you find peace and happiness and ways to protect your new home.

I literally have tears running down my face. My husbands family has been a nightmare from day one. My husband and I are Christians and believe with our entire hearts. It wasn't until we had been married for awhile that I realized how evil they were. Too make a very long story short the last few years before my FIL died, we have spent thousands of dollars defending ourselves against the fraud that my husbands brother and father have committed against the state of Illinois and Florida, US. The sad part about this is I expect nothing less from the Atheist that they are. We made the decision Saturday night that we're moving to another state and away from his side of the family. Our love of the Lord and our children come first. It's the first time in 2 yrs that my heart is at peace. I'm so tired of looking over our shoulders constantly and worrying when the next shoe will drop. Sorry to let loose your words hit home.....

I used to be a news junkie, but my husband and I stopped watching the news on tv six months ago. We still read the papers but we can skip over the sensational and the stories designed to make us angry or worried. This has really helped us to feel more peaceful. Your bible quote is one of my favorites and I think I will try harder to live by those wise words this year. It is hard to live in the world and not get sucked in to its unhealthy ways. I thank you for your inspiration and I'll be joining along.

Yes, the indoctrination attempt is ghastly pretty much all over. I will be praying for you and those who want to teach their children Biblical principles.

That would be a real fright. <br />I am sorry you are having a hard time especially with Christian friends. Stick to the Word as you see it is written. This does not suit a lot of people now. Friends can agree to disagree but if it is more than that i.e. bullying or persecution they are not friends. It feels a great loss and hurt. I know. But surprising friends will emerge! <br />Your early morning habit will help so much! We have to be built up! Put on the whole armour...<br />I do really appreciate your comment.
