"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

This has been an adventurous week! Early Wednesday morning (5:50am) we lost our electricity due to a major winter storm that came through our area bringing snow and ice. Our entire town lost power. We headed over to my parent's house because they had a gas fireplace. It was quite interesting. We were without power for almost two days. However, we were very blessed as others could go without power longer! I learned that snow can make a great refrigerator alternative. I also learned that making coffee the old-fashioned way is much more time consuming. My first go at it turned out pretty good according to my parents. Which is a great compliment because they are avid coffee drinkers. However, the second attempt didn't fare so well. It turned out quite weak and left much to be desired. I am surely thankful for my coffee maker! Our electricity came back on Thursday early evening. Let me tell you - it felt so good to be home and warm! My bed felt so good that night and so did the nice warm shower I took! I am so thankful to the Lord for keeping us all safe during that time!
Needless to say, we didn't stick to any routine. It simply was not possible! However, little Sugarplum did wonderfully well and is already getting back to the routine we were working on before the winter storm hit.
We also didn't stick to our normal way of eating as we had to eat what we could given we had no electricity. The first day the power was out, you couldn't go to stores or gas stations in our town because they were all without power as well. So many had to make due with whatever food you had on hand. Thankfully, I had all that ground beef in the freezer from several weeks back when I stocked up. We pulled that out of our freezer and my hubby cooked hamburgers on my father's grill.
Some changes are taking place. One change will alleviate some major stress for me in that particular situation as I seek to let it go and just leave it in God's mighty, capable hands. The other change will be huge and will require adjustments for us all. More on that when details are confirmed and we have more direction as to what we need to do and when. In the meantime, I am trying to take things one day at a time.
For all those who are interested in healthy recipes and information, be sure to check out my cooking blog. I have redone the blog to reflect our new way of eating and am sharing not only healthy recipes, but hopefully information on healthy eating.
Hi! I am currently working on a lap book with my 5 year old based on the book called Eat Healthy, Feel Great by William Sears. You should check out! I am going to post my lap book in Show and Tell with Mary when I am finished:)) I will check out your other blog too sometime. Cheers!
The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
