The Heart of the Home

The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart (Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23), by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

I'm b-a-a-a-ck

Hi everyone.

As usual life got busy, the Army moved us again and I stopped posting.  Honestly I thought about giving up the blog but I do love to write and I was missing all my bloggy-buddies.  So quick update...Well, I hope it is quick.

We moved...again...But it is all good.  DH was promoted and that caused a move.  Yay honey!  So proud of you!  You rock!

We miss our house but have found a great old house to rent where we moved to.  We can't get our other house sold and can't find renters either.  Home ownership at its finest!    As I was saying we have rented an older home and are loving it.  I am almost out from under boxes and almost ready to start school back.  Loving the older house even with all its creaks and groans and other idiosyncrasies.

This schoolyear brings some exciting changes for us.  If you have read my blog for any time you know my heart and our goals for DS have been following the Lord's leading and truly teaching to his heart not just to the world's standards.  That being said we have used an eclectic approach in the past as we sought the Lord's leading each year.  This past year I really sensed the Holy Spirit beginning something quite different for us.  The culmination of it is that we are beginning ATI this year.  If you are familiar at all with the Duggar family you will recognize ATI. 

This is the beginning of an exciting journey for us.  We had to dispel some of the myths of ATI from our minds and embrace what the Lord was calling us to not just for school but for our family.  We have begun the Basic Seminar tapes from Bill Gothard and are finding the Lord's conviction and healing in our lives.  What an exciting time.

DH is also working on his doctorate in counseling and has begun using some of the precepts from IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles) and see them work consistently.  Applying the principles in daily life has been quite rewarding and fulfilling.  Even if you don't do ATI taking these seminars will revolutionize your walk.

Well I said this would be quick so I will stop there.  Hoping for some pictures soon.  As soon as I find the USB cable for the camera.....And making sure DS doesn't have any more of his silly pictures on it waiting to surprise me.  Looking forward to another year with DS and the Lord!

GODSPEED
by Edmund Blair Leighton (1900)

In medieval times, a knight wore the colors of his lady when competing in tournaments or going to battle. The knight would replace his coat of arms with the lady's colors. By offering a scarf or other small piece of clothing, it was one visible way a lady showed her devotion to her knight and also encouraged him. This went along with one of the knightly vows of protecting a lady and her interests, even unto death. This painting represents this medieval tradition. I choose this as a representation of my blog for all the military wives who send their knight-husbands to work each day, send them to the field for training, or see their husbands deploy . My blog will have some of my personal thoughts on our own journey of homeschooling or other insights or encouragements I have the leading to share. My prayers are with each and every one of you who visit my blog.
