Walking in the Spirit

Dear Mothers,

A new lady on the letters group was telling me that she was believing the Lord for her husband's hernia situation. I have testified of Jim's hernia healing years ago but I am gonna tell it again.

I have been prayin' this morning, askin' the Lord what to write. "Gettin' Real" keeps comin' up. And I just laughed right now and said, "How real are we talkin', Lord?" I am thinkin' "I think Annie just came out from under the bed and I don't want to send her back." So. Well, what do I mean by gettin' real? I am talkin' about in prayer. The Lord has given me a lot to write about on prayer lately. I don't want to go to another subject before I have said all I needed to say on this.

Well, I hope Jim gets to come home today. I have to go get groceries this morning. I want to spruce the house up a bit, too. I know Wild Man will be fuming if the doctor says he would have to stay another day. As it is, he is about to jump out of his skin. And, of course, I am ready to do the same because he is.

Dear Wives,

Last week I got so mad at Jim. I wanted my way and he wanted his way. And then he got into a black mood and then I got into a blacker one. Well, Papa is out in the world all day and Mama is at home prayin'. We see things in different lights. My sin is always that I think that Jim should feel like I do about things. He often thinks that I am not respecting him as a man and not honoring him as my husband ... the bread winner ... the head of the house.
