Life in our sunny cottage on a dried up lake in Florida. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Mon, 2 Feb 2009 18:25:00 -0600 Mon, 2 Feb 2009 18:25:00 -0600 I feel like I have no where to vent enough! I am just taking in His grace. I hope He is not sick of my rants. Help me Lord not be angry. Please send your labors to save J & D from hell and themselves.  Help me be a good care giver to a little boy whose future with his parents is on sinking sand.  I know there is nothing too hard for you Lord and no one knows how bad I want more children, but not at the expense of a family that is failing.  I also pray you give me and dh wisdom to do your will and of course the finances to do this job. Lord, whatever your will is I know will be right. I hope not to lean on my own understanding, but trust you in all things.  I am so glad you are here in cyber space too.  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/653707/ Mon, 2 Feb 2009 18:25:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/653707/ thewifeypoo.blogspot.com/2008/12/final-pt-of-wives-for-sons-my-humble.html http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/627528/ Wed, 3 Dec 2008 13:01:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/627528/ thewifeypoo.blogspot.com/2008/11/wives-for-sons-pt-2-long-chapter-but.html http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/627526/ Wed, 3 Dec 2008 13:00:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/627526/ Wives for Sons http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/623610/ Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:40:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/623610/ I was driving to pick up some meds today and I found myself thinking of this wonderful boy the Lord had given me. I was flooded with thoughts. Mainly my purpose for his life. Joseph is so animated, never quiet, always imaginative, he is even thoughtful and sweet. My mission, my goal, my conviction has been to raise sons that love the Lord with all their hearts, mind, and strength. Sons that love the wife the Lord gives them, protect the blessed children they receive as gifts. To be men of grit. To work hard or smart whatever the path the Lord leads them on. I am passionate about this. This is a high calling and no easy job in this world filled with self-centeredness, indulging every passing whim. Who am I raising? I was thinking about Billy Graham, did his mom know the impact he would make on the world? I know there are many unsung hero's of the faith that have made their mark on the world, I didn't get that deep. I was after all I was listening to Joe in the car tell me about aliens. I believe my job is very important. I have wanted more children since the day I had my son Sean 18yrs ago, I didn't get Joe until 13 yrs later. I have dealt with my share of the green eyed monster and those having large families, blessed with so many, but, maybe, just maybe God wanted me to raise these boys who will bless his kingdom in ways I cannot yet fathom. Sean was already instructed by the Lord to be a lawyer. He walks by faith, he is faithful, he trusts God,and is working to pay for his private christian college education. This is not cheap I might add. He could have gone to public college but we both were led to this school. He goes to chapel 3x a week and likes it. I am sure he will be a good husband and a caring father. Now we wait and pray...LSAT, Law school, Area of Law, house, wife...This is who I raised a young man taught by the Lord and great is his peace. We will have to see how the Lord works in Joseph. I am praying the Lord lead me how I should teach him, in what direction He wants me to take. So far as it was with Sean so shall it be with Joe, God first, bible, scriptures,prayer, love, obediance, kindness, protecting girls and babies. The three R's will come. I am trying to raise the bar, train up men of God. Responsible human beings. Who are you raising? http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/621642/ Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:19:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/621642/ It was a fun time for all. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We saw the inner workings of the grocery store from the meat dept, produce, deli, and bakery. The kids even got to try the register. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/617794/ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:07:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/617794/ We spent time yesterday with out church family that currently has 4 little boys ages 7,5,5,1. Lessons of hard knocks. Teaching them to be kind to one another to stand together and to protect girls and babies. This is daily in my house. I want my son to put the things that the Lord sees as important first in his life. Okay he's only 5 but this is and will be his duty as he becomes a man. I am not only raising a son, I am raising a boy to be a goldly husband and father who puts God first. This is a hard job for me with Joseph, but I press forward to the high calling... God bless you as you raise your sons with this duty in mind. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/611685/ Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:26:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/611685/ This is what I tell myself.  He is only 5!  He is learning. His way, not mine.  I do enjoy watching his amazing imagination.  I love looking into his beautiful eyes and wonder what he is thinking about.  Today I have on some Christian music on the TV and he is playing so nice.  How to create a heart of worship? Put the music on.  One of my new friends said that ! Simple wisdom, Thanks Deb.  Well my lil guy follows suit, mom worships, he worships.  Thank you Lord my children are taught by you and great shall be their peace. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/604567/ Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/604567/ So many blogs so little time! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/588148/ Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:59:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/thewifeypooandmom/588148/ His favorite place in the world, with the fish.
