It has been so long since I have written and so long since I have done many things. I had planned last summer to take the summer off from studying my extra course for Bible School and from studying Photography. Well that summer break has now been a year. I am FINALLY getting back into studying. I have stop writing for the Pastor that has asked me to write, I have stop writing in my blog. It's time to restart these things. I feel the tug of God so hard in these areas.

As I have stated in my last few entries that I have been having problems. I have FINALLY figured out what the cause of the problem was. It was taking a month off from school, we had formed a new habit that my Faith was having much to much trouble breaking. I also believe that the problems came as the Bible says and we have to use wisdom and ask God where these problems are coming from. Are they coming from God as this is what is building me, making me stronger and getting me ready and closer to my call? Or this satan trying to stop the things of God and the plans of God and get us off track.

It was satan. God has such big plans and it is in the church we are attending, the curriculum that we are using, the time that we are spending with God, in moving forward and closer to His plan which He has place those desires in our hearts. I have gotten so far off the path that I was to be on. We are not to go to the right or to the left but stay in the middle. I was so far off the path, that I couldn't see right, couldn't hear God.

It is so important for us to spend time with God. We will not know who He is if we don't spend time with Him. If we don't draw near to Him, He can't draw near to us. If we don't pray at all times with out ceasing then we wont hear His voice. If we don't build our relationship with Him, like we do with a spouse, how will we ever know HIS voice. When we are homeschooling and we are doing what God wants us to be doing. Not what we want or what is popular, or what other mom's are telling us to do. Then we have to fight and fight had to keep satan away.  Fight to keep ourselves strong. I have let that last year pass me by without doing the things that God has called me to do, in my studies. I haven't been giving myself time with the Lord, spending time doing the desires of my heart and that of course lead to not feeling the best about myself. Then that flooded into other areas to.

I am happy to say that with the fight, we have in the end, stayed the course that God has called us to. We might be a bit behind but we are stronger for all that we have been through this pass year.  We are where God wants us to be and doing what God wants us to be doing and He has rewarded us greatly the last few months for the fighting of this pass year. I have a new van, fully paid for!! We have all our grade 3 curriculum bought and ready to go!! Harvey is starting his P.A. course right on track to what God told me, ahead of the "systems" schedule. He has a long two years ahead of him but the rewards at the end are going to be even greater!!

Even in our hard time God is a rewarder. Remember that God can ONLY DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM FOR. If you can't believe for Him is be a good God and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Then He can't give you good things. Start believing for small things, build your faith up, hear the testimonies of other to build your faith. Don't hear it and think oh that is for them, rejoice in their news, as if it was your news. Believe for a God who will do everything He says He will do.

Here are a few picture to run down the year!!!

Here is my amazing girl getting ready for her dance with the leader and 8 other girls.

Faith finished 2 books in Awana this year. We also have great friends that introduce us to Awana. They have been a blessing to us this year.

Faith was asked to do an interview on TV. Well so was I. I was shocked to see that we both were on the news.
