It's been a while...
It's
been a while but I'm still here! I just have been having a hard
time getting the time and modivation to put a new entry in, but here I
am!
I am trying to start home educating my 5 year old son and really have
no clue what I am doing. Instead of filling out a notice of
intent to homeschool, we are enrolling him in a "home education"
christian school called Embassy of Heaven. I read about it on the
internet after a friend told me about it, it's really neat. The
best part is no government involvement at all. Go check it out
embassyofheaven.org
We found a lady here in town who has goats and she milks them so we are
now drinking goat milk. It is really good! I got some from
the store once that made me gag, it stunk and tasted horrible!
The lady told me that goat milk has a bad reputation because so many
people don't know that if you leave the billy (the male) goat in the
same pen as the ones that you use for milk then he will make the milk
stink and taste bad. Interesting!
We have been attending a seventh day adventist church for the past few
months and love it! I was raised baptist and my husband never
attended church as a child, but when he was old enough, he read the
Bible on his own at home. When we got married I wanted him to go
to church with me (baptist church) so he did. But since he had
read more of the bible at home than I ever had attending church all my
life, some of the stuff that he heard at church just didn't match what
he had read in the Bible. He told me this and I felt like he was
telling me that everything I had been taught my whole life was all
wrong. I didn't like that so we fought and fought! Finally
I started reading the Bible, sure to prove him wrong, only to prove
myself and a lot of the teachings I had received in my small town
baptist church wrong!!
So we started looking for a change and we thought we'd give SDA church
a try and we love it! The Bible is so much clearer to me now and
I can actually understand it, it's amazing! I see now how wrong some of
the things we did before (like going to church on Sunday) and feel so
bad for the people from my some other churches. If people would
just READ GOD'S WORD, I'm not saying that we're perfect now
because no one is but I am saying that my relationship with God has
improved so much in the past few months because I now know the truth
and try to follow orders from God. I thought I was doing God's
will before but I never read the Bible for myself, I just did what I
heard the pastor say was the right thing. But now reading it for
myself, I can see the false teachings that I had been taught my whole
life until now. I will never go back!
Sorry I started to ramble (tend to do that when I am fired up on a subject)
God bless all of you--Jessica
