Baby Duggar #18 is on the way!!! Congratulations Duggar Family!
Baby Duggar number 18 is due to arrive in January of 2009!!! My heart is full of excitement and joy for them every time I hear a new blessing is on the way! I know this is not for every family and many think they are nuts but I love them!
I must take a moment to make a public apology to a very gifted writer and homeschool mother "Teri Ann Berg Olsen, Author/Publisher", last July I posted her lovely poem "Ode To A Homeschool Mom" on my blog and gave her credit but I did not have a link back to her site, as I was not aware of her site at the time. In hind site I should not have posted that peom without getting her permision first as it had copyright restricitions.If you by chance copied this poem from my blog I have to ask that you please remove it or leave the below byline giving Terry credit for her poem.
"Teri is a home educator and author of the book Learning for Life: Educational Words of Wisdom. Visit her website at http://www.knowledgehouse.info ."
I have removed the July post from my blog but if you would like to read this lovely poem depicting all that a homeschool mom does, lives and breathes each day please go HERE!
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend, played outside tons with Troy and the boys, sat out late watching the birds feed and then spent the evening on the couch with hubby vegging out. Needless to say I have no MM post ready but I hope to get it up tonight .
I am off for a "Morning of Fun" I am going to go run some errands, have a bit of fun at the bookstore and pick up a few things at the Mall. This afternoon we will all take the boys to Tae Kwon Do. hubby decided to take the day off so we are taking full advantage of him being home! lol
As some of you may know from previous posts...there was a short period a few weeks ago when I was struggling spiritually, physically and emotionally and this song touched me and ministered to me like no other could have at that time, it was exactly what I was feeling, what I needed to hear to shake it off so to speak and tread on, moving up to the higher calling which the Lord had before me!
He knows every thought, every hurt, every moment of anxiety, feeling of failure and he sweetly can minister to us and prayerfully walk us out of that dark place if we will only allow him to take it from us, if we can just find that quiet place where we can hear him speaking to us so clearly and lovingly!
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other...
CASTING CROWNS LYRICS
"East To West"
Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way
I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me
Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other
One scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other
Have a very blessed weekend ladies, I love you all!
