Stay-At-Home Daughter
I am presently a stay-at-home daughter, helping my parents at home and laboring with them in our ministry on the mission field. The Lord is preparing me to be a good wife and joyful mother of children. I belong to a godly young man somewhere. I haven’t quite figured out where he is, or what’s taking him so long, but I am his! While I’m waiting for him, I’m keeping busy serving the Lord and trying to be a blessing to my family and those God has placed in my life.
Well, a few changes have occurred since I last wrote that. I do belong to a godly young man somewhere--that hasn't changed. But, I have figured out where he is. He is in Florida! I've also discovered why it took him so long to "find me." It wasn't God's timing yet, and we wouldn't have been ready for each other at an earlier time. The fact that I clearly specified "I am his" was meant to scare away some guys who thought they would like to have claims on me, thinking my blog was an advertisement of some kind. Too late! I belong to Russell...in a way. We do belong to each other in that we are a couple, but we don't totally belong to each other quite yet because we aren't married...yet. I feel like I'm living in two worlds--I'm physically in Holland, but my thoughts are often elsewhere. I'm sure you can't guess where! Ha! So, I am still a stay-at-home daughter, and in many ways I am still waiting, though I know who I'm waiting for now! While I’m waiting for Russell, I’m keeping busy serving the Lord and trying to be a blessing to my family and those God has placed in my life. That's pretty much the sum of it! (Now you can read the edited version on my sidebar.)
I know some of you have been anxiously waiting for the post about Russell's and my love story. It is coming! I'll have it up in a day or two. Warning! It is very long, but for easier reading I've divided it up into chapters. So, don't get discouraged when you see how long it is. I hope you will enjoy it and that it will be a blessing to you! =)

Wonderful Ms. Hannah dear! And I LOVE the picture on your side bar! It's beautiful.
Ms. Elsie
I was wondering when you would update it. =) Praise God. I still can't get over what He's done for you!
I'm happy you're nearing the completion of your "book." (chuckle) I can't wait. I'm certain it will be a blessing, Hannah.
Along those lines... In all seriousness, have you ever considered writing books in the future, Hannah? God has truly gifted you with a talent for writing, and there is a desperate need for sound Christian literature in our day! You are very capable, sister, judging by your extensive writings here. =)
(You probably wonder how I got off on that rabbit trail. HA!)
Talk to you later!
Love,
Naomi
Actually, I have considered it while writing this "book." =D You'll have to let me know if you think anybody would even bother with my literature after you read my post! You may think I’m horrible at this! =D
Love you, Naomi! =)
Hi Hannah!
I am so, so happy for you and Russell and it has been lovely hearing how God has brought you together... : ) Your testimony of waiting is such a blessing and has exhorted me so much... (i understand about counterfeits too
:( wow, i really needed that ) Thank you so much for letting God use you to write and help other girls! You and Russell look so sweet together...i've loved looking at the pictures!!
I will keep praying that God will rain His strength and blessings on you both as He joins you and prepares you for your life together.
love, Graziella
