About Me
Hi, welcome to my blog. I will be sharing our experience as we homeschool 5 boys - our struggles, trials, prayers, and blessings. There are many challenges along the way for any homeschooler and I hope you are encouraged by what you read here. We use Sonlight and My Father's World as our main curriculum. Thank you for stopping by and comments are welcomed.
Jan. 27, 2008 - I've been tagged - 6 unimportant things about me!
6 unimportant things about me...
I have been tagged by Julie over at Home in the Mitten! I have to list 6 unimportant things about me and then tag 6 people - so watch out you may be next! Check the bottom of this entry to see if you are one of the lucky ones!
Here goes....
1. I liked to climb trees and catch snakes as a child. Now? I am afraid of heights and do not care for snakes or anything else that slithers on the ground.
2. I do not like the cold even though I grew up in polar Maine.
3. I liked to go fishing as a young girl but now it makes me queasy.
4. My friend and I in high school dissected a fish eye - just for fun!
5. My husband and I used to enjoy getting breakfast at midnight. He worked 3rd shift and the chow hall (dining hall) was open 24 hours! Yum - the Air Force has good food!
6. I lived in the same house for 18 years and my parents still live there. They have been in that house for 39 years. You might say they are opposed to change.
Well there you have it 6 unimportant things about me. Actually once I got going it was easy! Now it's your turn! Here are the rules: (1.) Link to the person that tagged you (unimportant me!). (2.) Post the rules on your blog. (3.) Share 6 unimportant things/habits/quirks about yourself. (4.) Tag 6 random people at the end of your post w/their links and tell the random person they have been tagged!
Well now that you have that tag completed ....I have tagged you with a scattergories tag. Just for fun. So if you will stop by and if you participate please let me know.
My dad was in the military and we moved alot. Once he was out of the Marines we still moved a lot. I guess they were opposed to "the same". LOL ;-)Be blessed,
Stacy
Although I've never been big on the whole tagging thing, it was really fun to read your "unimportant" things. I hope your new year is wonderful thus far. Blessings, :)Michelle
I am totally with you about not liking the cold. It is minus four in Minnesota today, with a wind chill of more than thirty below zero!!! That is ridiculous!!
You liked to catch snakes?!! We have a pet snake, but he is in a cage...and he is tame. I won't catch a bug, let alone a snake!!
Therefore encourage one another and build
each other up... 1 Thessalonians 5:11b
Aug. 21, 2008 - Thankful Thursday
Iris at Sting My Heart is focusing on peace today. Everyone longs for peace - peace in their homes and in their countries. As Iris pointed out one definition of peace is: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions. Another definition, which encompasses the above definition is: Strong's Concordance 7965 - Hebrew Shalom ..... A word study in the New King James version for SHALOM says: Completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.
I am so thankful for the peace of God. It is more than being free from conflict on the outside...it is true freedom from conflict on the inside. So many times we appear to be cool, calm and collective but inside our emotions and thoughts are raging. I am so thankful that we, as believers, can have shalom even in our inner being. When the storm is raging call on your Prince of Peace and He will quiet you with His peace. Thank you Jesus for that peace...it is a strong testimony of your work in our lives.
I am also thankful for my MIL and her sister. They have offered to take the boys for a day so that I can have some time to myself.
I am thankful that my dh's new job is going well. The Lord has given him peace, wisdom and strength each day.
My prayer for you:
The LORD bless you, and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace (shalom). Numbers 6:24-26

"Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You..."Jeremiah 32:17
I am thankful there is nothing to difficult for our God. If He can create the heavens and the earth through His great power then we can be sure He is able to accomplish mighty things in our own lives.
I am thankful for my husband, who has worked tirelessly this week training in his second job and continues to accomplish work in the ministry. I am thankful for his dedication to the Lord and to his family.
I am thankful for my children. They are each a unique gift from the Lord. They may bring challenges into our lives but they are also a huge blessing.
