Where Gratitude Grows
I haven’t written poetry in a VERY long time. Since I was a teen possibly. Until this week, that is. Hope you enjoy this one from today! There once was a man, who for reasons unknown Traversed a steep canyon each day on his own The flames of desire burned bright and hot The whisper…
Release
1. allow or enable to escape from confinement; set free. 2. allow (something) to move, act, or flow freely I wasn’t looking for a word to define my 2023 but I was given a theme. I struggle with anxiety a bit and feeling like a ball full of ideas and energy and unfinished things. I…
Adulting 101 cooking list
We recently started a class that is teaching basic life skills to anyone in the community wants to come. We’ve only done two classes but it has been so much fun! The first class was held in January, so we had someone teach plumbing. They taught how to fix a leaky faucet, install a shower…
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”
This popped up in a Facebook memory today for 2018. I love when a good story shows up in my memories that I had forgotten all about. God is ALWAYS faithful. I went to bed last night defeated, overwhelmed, unambitious, complacent and so so tired. Ben said, “well do you trust God or don’t you?”…
Pace
“After this weekend things should slow down a bit.” I’ve said this for years. Even my older kids call me out on it now. To be honest, I’m really sick of saying it. It is so hard to budget space into life these days. Homeschooling, work, church, side jobs, home repairs, home admin, birthdays, sleepless…
My Fathers World ECC – 2022
After many years (15) of using other curriculums we have come back to My Fathers World. We found MFW when I was trying to teach, my now 16 year old, to read. I’d tried several programs, it wasn’t sticking and I was feeling like a total failure. I’d always wanted to homeschool my children but…
Before Noone Sees
I was busting my rear mowing the yard and thought, “dang it! I should’ve taken a before picture!” Here’s the half way picture – pretty crazy right? Often times, I work tirelessly on things and if anyone was to look in from the outside they wouldn’t even notice. They might even think said ‘thing’ had been…
Salad in a Jar
We eat a lot of salads. It’s one of my kids favorite vegetable sides to have with dinner and also easy so it’s often on the plate. The only reason we don’t eat them for lunch more often is because I have to pull everything out of the fridge… again. Why yes, I AM a…
God Reigns, Not Me.
We’ve been going through a lovely drought at my home. Every glimpse of rain has hit about half a mile a way. Our grass is dying and the garden needs some of heavens mist. Plants react differently to rain than a water hose. It’s obvious the hand of God has touched them with a bit…
Manufacturer Repair
I am a “fix it” kinda gal. My dad once told me that you can fix just about anything if you look at it long enough. It’s true, really! Broken sink, lawnmower, light fixture, car- most anything has a solution that you can get your human mind to come up with, upon enough study of…
