Mar. 7, 2007 - I just have to say....
these are the things that i must confess. the things that i am too proud to share. i am...convicted to share them. i am humbled that He might use me to touch just one persons Spirit.
on the outside, my life is, at best, a mess. my Husband and i have just come through this huge struggle. we are so broke i have had to borrow money from my Mother ( i LOVE you mommy:)for diapers twice in the last 2 mnths. i am throwing out my curriculum and starting from nothing because i didn't Listen to God when planning it and it was a *complete disaster. we currently have 5 ~ little blessings ~ in a 34ft RV because we were buying a house and it fell thru b/c someone else owned 30 ft of the property which could *only be God' s way of saying No because you have to own atleast 50ft to legally build anything, but that is a whole 'nother story.
*this is why i like writing...or typing, because if i were talking tht sentence would have taken away my breath.
i'm *quite positive that i could continue that list for hours....don't worry i'll spare you that:)
but u know what?? i have never felt God's peace as strongly as i do right now. and i can honestly say that i have never felt the Grace of His Spirit and Blessings pouring over me as fully as i do right now.
i have been blessed with a husband who loves me *sooo much that he *very graciously goes to a job he hates 5-6 days a week because he truly believes in God's plan for our family and my role in training our childrens spirits, guiding thier hearts and molding thier minds ~ with God's imprint. and he loves His children *sooo much that he is willing to sacrifice and struggle for thier futures. and most importantly, he loves God so much that he would lay down his life for us. and i think i just realize how much he really *does love us.
i have been blessed by the Truth of what i am really doing for my children by choosing to stay home with them and teach them. to experience the beginning of thier Life in Christ with them. to have the opportunity to guide them in the first steps on thier journey. they are all His witnesses to me everyday. the Testimony of His Amazing Love for me.
i literally hunger and thirst for more and more of His Spirit. i've always had a hunger for God. but this is a little different. this is more like the hunger a baby would feel if they were needing full meals and thier mother was still nursing exclusively. if that makes any sense. i am thankful that i am being fed. I am being fed by God through His Word and His Truth and i am being fed by an absolutely amazing family of Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
i have had awesome awesome opportunities to share my testimonies, show Gods grace and Love and forgiveness and to be a witness to the power of Christ in our life.
on the inside i am finally where i am supposed to be. right now, in this moment. i am home.
i am so thankful that He, in His Infinite Wisdom chose to bring me to this place. and that He isn't finished with me yet.
His Grace and Love and Peace to *you and yours,
the Faithful keeper of the cheerios
But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you.
He's gathering strength to show mercy to you.
God takes the time to do everything right ~ everything.
Those who wait around for Him are the lucky ones.
Isaiah 30:18

Mar. 9, 2007 - Flat Stanley is a paper doll
Posted by sunnyflorida
that you send to people you know all over the USA to learn about the region it's being sent to. The child gets to color clothes on the doll that are appropriate for the area and fill out a passport that requires the living/nonlinving resources, geographical climate and layout of the area. You take Flat Stanley on field trips and take pics of him doing cool stuff that's native to your area. For example, we took a pic of Nick holding him as Nick drove the pontoon boat and saw manatees. That's native to us here.
This will be the third FS we've hosted and we love it! This one is from his cousin in Minnesota. I plan on doing one with him either this year or 4th grade.
I read your blog today and I jsut wanted to let you know that God doesn't give you what you can't handle.You both must be very strong to deal with what you're going through. Of course, that strength comes from God :) It just shows how much He loves you and wants you with Him.
Have a great weekend and don't worry! I hear it will get warmer:)
