A Peek At...
Our Life

November 27, 2009

Updates

I'm still alive. Twins threw me and all my systems for a loop, but I have revamped everything I ever knew about managing our life and things are running smoothly again. Whew. Our cuties are now 15 months old and busy, busy, busy.

The Buzz Around Me

Last minute scurrying to get ready for the Sabbath.

Kitchen Happenings

It is the first time in 15 years we haven't had a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers. Weird. We went to my brother's house this year for a fun change.

In Our Schoolroom

Lots of changes this year. I've got my younger few working with BJU Homesat and I am enjoying it as much as they are. I love Mrs. Walker from 1st Grade! She's SO sweet!

The Garden View

I have The Winter Harvest Handbook by Eliot Coleman waiting for me to dig into this winter, but it is probably too late to implement anything for this winter. I am eager to see.

In The Sewing Room

I have plans to finally get some extra wool longies (diaper covers) made for the twins this week. I am addicted to the cuteness of those cozy things sticking out underneath baby dresses.

Home-keeping Agenda

I've given up on the spotless-all-the-time-in-case-we-have-a-showing thing. Orderly and clean is good, spotless is irrational. I'd much rather scramble at the last minute than get an ulcer.

Simple Joys

Life settling down into a new normal. Sigh.

My 2010 Goals

Well...my hopes anyway


~Do something with my guitar that's collecting dust...like maybe learn to play it.

~Save up enough money and get the bus ready enough to go to Family Week 2010 with the Wallers.

~Be at least 90% faithful to investing my morning quiet time praying and studying YHWH's Word.

~Do 3 good deeds and right 3 wrongs each week. I got this idea from First Fruits of Zion, and it is such a neat way to keep my focus outside of myself.

~Keep a hand-written journal.

~Be faithful to what we have learned from Dave Ramsey, and use a zero balance budget every month.

~Come up with two small ways to make side income to help my children learn to run a business.

~Begin building traditions, recipe files, scrapbooks, etc. for our family's celebrations of the Biblical feasts: Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.

~Be outside at least some every single day.

~

  • Sweet Home Jerusalem

    This will not appeal to everyone, but then again, neither do I, so it works to post it here. As a Southern girl, and one who prays for the peace of Jerusalem, this really hit the spot. Who knew a Skynyrd tune could be redeemed in such a cool way? I like it. HT: Lillian

    Watch video on You Tube Here.

    Lyrics (to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama):

    Eagles wings keep on flyin’
    Carry me home to see The King
    Singing songs about my City,
    Jerusalem you’re in my dreams
    And I’m gonna sing, yes. (RIFF)

    Well I heard the UN talk about her
    But a Jewish boy won’t drink this brew
    Uncle Sam please remember, that
    “Jerusalem won’t be split in two!”

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    We’re all waiting for Mashiach (OOH OOH OOH)
    You can bet he’s coming soon
    We’ll all be dancing in Jerusalem
    And we’ll all be singing the same tune
    Now that’s the truth

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    (SOLOS)


    The wise men of the Holy City
    They’ve been known to pick a song or two
    They help my soul when I’m hurting
    They give me joy when I’m feeling blue
    Now how about you?

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    Where the skies are so blue
    Sweet Home, Sweet Jerusalem
    L-rd I’m coming home to you.

    Here are two sights I thought you might find interesting.
    The first one is about promoting understanding between the Jews and the Muslims which might come in handy to share the gospel or understanding the conflicts

    This one is The Middle East Radio Forum.
