As most know I've been desiring more children and praying/believing for them since June 2002.  Secondary infertility is not fun ... those with primary infertility hate you and those with many kids think your selfish and worried about ruining your figure ....

Since mid-late sept my marriage has been rough.

my DH has admitted to being in his words backslidden and although he claims nothing happened because he was drunk, he went home with another woman back in sept.

My DH was laid off from his job yesterday so we may lose internet connection shortly...not sure will try and keep you updated.

Also it's that time of year that I know and you should to has been around since before Jesus was even born .... celebrations the pagans had always used ... they just tried to "christianize" them. 

I don't acknowledge them and neither should you.

Jeremiah 10:2a - Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, ...

Deuteronomy 12:29-32

 29When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

 30Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

 31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

 32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.















May YHVH bless thee, and keep thee: May YHVH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: May YHVH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom.

Ian -- or an update to a prayer request on the right side

Posted in Family Life
Baby Ian is 7 months old, weighing 10 pounds and 2 ounces, and just one tiny hole in his heart still to close and some artery or vein the doctors would like to see bigger ... so Baruch HaShem and continued prayer coverage for this little guy that I got to hold yesterday.


Here he is with his momma:


Here's my baby holding her baby:


and here's me holding Ian:


And Sukkot Greetings as we take 7 "school" days off and just do Bible reading pertaining to Sukkot, fun read-a-louds and fun Sukkot/Autumn activities.






May YHVH bless thee, and keep thee: May YHVH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: May YHVH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom.

Some Week!

Posted in Family Life
10/8 -- BIL was here for a brief visit, he is a cop in LaFoushe parish now so interesting tales to tell.
 
10/9 -- got results from horrible managerial accounting test on 10/2.  Did I mention these are open book and open note tests and he makes them very hard cuz as he says he's worried we'll all get A's .... the test are nothing like the problems we work as "homework" ... so frustrating and they are multiple choice and of course each answer's figure can be gotten with the numbers/info in the problem, so that makes it even harder to find any that can be thrown out as wrong. -- Have I mentioned how frustrating these tests are?  well they are...and I don't have class this week, in service or something, but we have a take home test....I've done 14 of the 39 problems...I am not going to wear myself out sitting for 3+ hours straight....so broke it into 3 days to get it done.
 
10/10 -- went to a going away party for a 3 year old....but found out he will be around this week and we get to babysit him --- YAY!!!  fun fun fun...DS will have someone to play with.
 
10/11 -- home Church - good as always.  Read thru John chapter 16 and discussed it
 
verses
2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
 3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
 4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
 
 
I asked was this referring to 70 AD and a future, (our day) event?   people brushed me off though .... I know I am thinking grafted in and they are not, but I used to not think grafted in either...until almost 2 years ago whem my eyes were opened....so I can just keep praying that their eyes will be opened as well.
 
33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
 
that is powerful!
 
10/12 -- went to a home and garden party.  got points for costume/mask/pumpkin/orange and black treat/RSVPing/and asking questions during the presentation....won a few door prizes ... and now need to order something....  thinking pizza stone and a paper towel holder.
 
10/13 --  HavDalah - so much fun and informative.  covered the flood thru tower of babel....were the animals juvenille's, not full grown in other words?  maybe ....   it was dark in the ark, so did most of the animals hybernate some or all of the time?  maybe ... fascinating and during the babel incident, it was not so much one speaking language but one thought and not obeying the go into the earth and replenish it that HE said was not good....again interesting....and Terach (delay/tarry/to settle)  may have been told to leave UR and go to Canaan but stopped in/founded Haran ... and first time we hear of a father living longer than a son....what happened?   so interesting!  also only 70 original people groups as in chapter 10 ... and we all have 16 great grand fathers or something like that...again interesting
 
10/14 --  found out that we will for sure be watching the 3 year old this week -- YAY!   had my sister and her DH over for dinner and he re-caulked around the tub - very much needed.  also went to Intro to Jewish Roots at 11am.  Discussed Ephesians 2:11-22
 
14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
 15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
 16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
 17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
 18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
 
It's the english thinking that we need a subject that causes the problem....verse 14 clearly states the problem is the wall of seperation and if you can see a picture of the temple there was such a thing as the court of the gentiles...they couldn't get any closer...but now because of the commandments and very much thanks to Yeshua, we too can come near.  Also notice the italicized words, when you see that, those are words not contained in the original greek/aramaic, but have been added in to make the english translation make sense, again for us who need a subject to have something done to it or be doing something.
 
I  AM   or I be doing what I be doing .... HE is all about doing something....HE is not just sitting up there "chilling" .... man I love that!

Forgive me if I am  ~ I really believed DS would have some siblingS by now.
