As a fairly recent newlywed, I have experienced the joys and frustrations of coming into agreement with both God and my husband, a completely new dynamic. Whereas before I made decisions with just God, I now have to wait for my husband to get an answer, and then I need to align myself with the Lord and my husband, rather than just doing what I want with the Lord. <BR/>Thanks for sharing....Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049563163752324164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27742677.post-24649994405345063992008-06-28T05:35:00.000-05:002008-06-28T05:35:00.000-05:00Nancy, thank you for the sweet comment you left on...Nancy, thank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog. I love running both short and long races and there are definitely metaphors I draw there relating to my relationship with the LORD. Your blog will definitely be on my "regular reading" list, as you are so inspiring and encouraging. I love what you said about being a "modern day Delilah" I will definitely be sharing this one with my friends:) I hope you are enjoying your pool this summer!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946473078251300151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27742677.post-26717072810189910312008-06-27T13:31:00.000-05:002008-06-27T13:31:00.000-05:00Great post ( and I enjoyed the video devotion too!...Great post ( and I enjoyed the video devotion too!) - As I read the story I was quickly and convictingly reminded of my own "pool" story.

You are helping a bunch of us continue to grow in faith. Thanks so much! <BR/><BR/>We decided to buy our house even though it had a pool - which is over 40 years old now. We put in a new pump 2 years ago and that reduced the work on hubby a lot. We are planning to resurface it as a next or next-after big project. <BR/><BR/>We really enjoy floating in it on summer evenings. It has been a gift to the children, too, more in the past. <BR/><BR/>I needed the reminder not to nag my hubby, too. And the reminder about Sarah and Haggar will stick with me.

I hate to admit this but I've had to pray through some jealousy. God has been wonderful to deliver me (and forgive me!) from that green eyed bondage. He is even using this post of yours to finish this bit of work in me! How cool is that??!!<BR/><BR/>Prayers that you will enjoy your pool this summer unlike ever before. <BR/><BR/>KelliLongmeadow Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593383607664437847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27742677.post-24178303831388188292008-06-20T09:40:00.000-05:002008-06-20T09:40:00.000-05:00I loved the refurbished pool and the landscape loo...I loved the refurbished pool and the landscape looks beautiful.

As a result my husband has decided to fill it in. I was so upset, I cried over it. It caused real contention for several weeks. Then I decided I had not prayed and I better shut up because I really needed to seek the Lord. <BR/><BR/>Don't know how long summer lasts up there, but I say go enjoy your pool!<BR/><BR/>AnnetteAbba's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767509274414354333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27742677.post-37346553436941086892008-06-20T06:14:00.000-05:002008-06-20T06:14:00.000-05:00Oooh!

It was above ground but partially buried and was really large. There were many good times spent there and the kids and grandkids loved it. It was a lot of work and was usually my husband, God bless him, who did most of the upkeep. My mom always took care of the financial part and we appreciated having it, but the upkeep is expensive. Seemed like something was always going wrong. It's sad now because a few summers ago they decided to tear it down and fill in the ground. There is no more pool.<BR/>We really miss it.<BR/>You have a beautiful pool and grounds. I pray you all are able to enjoy it for a long, long time.<BR/>Bless you sweet sister!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Valerievaleriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506291993756087418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27742677.post-55437374044115178872008-06-19T21:52:00.000-05:002008-06-19T21:52:00.000-05:00Nancy,I pray that I don't nag my hubby to much as ...Nancy,<BR/>I pray that I don't nag my hubby to much as well, I have been in this situation before and makes things hard...
