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.

~

    You did a great job ~ I love the blog, and you were such a blessing to work with!

    If you need a website or blog design, I totally recommend Kristi at p*co creative.

    This is the page where you will find my policy on ‘Blog Comments’ and a few other matters which I feel led to discuss. I welcome readers’ comments, and find them to be a great tool for fellowship, for leaving feedback and for iron sharpening iron, so, feel free to leave your comments. That said, however, there are a few things you’ll need to understand.

    This is my blog, I am intolerant, and I have an agenda. Truth is, we all are intolerant of certain things and all have an agenda…we just don’t all express these things publicly. My agenda is to love what the God of the Bible (YHWH) loves, and to hate what he hates. He loves people, but hates apostasy, sin and lukewarmness. It is my intention to love people in the midst of hating apostasy, sin and lukewarmness (in myself and others).

    With the help of the Holy Spirit, it can be done.

    You’ll not likely find “fairness” and “balance” here, but hopefully, even if your toes are inadvertently stepped upon, you will sense that it is done in love. While I never intend to purposely offend, I realize that it will happen, sometimes for no other reason than that I use the Word of YHWH freely. You see, His word will never return void, but will accomplish that which He pleases. Friend, what He pleases is not always to ‘love up on us’ in our present state, but often to discern the thoughts and intents of our hearts …and that isn’t always pretty or pleasant.

    My writing and your comments will need to reflect Father’s heart for people by being respectful (even in the face of disagreement), loving and kind. Feel free to ask questions and to share your heart. Just know that, being that it is my blog, I reserve the right to delete anything that I deem to be hateful, disrespectful or unloving in any fashion., because no one needs that. Please know, also, that walking in the light is a biblical principle, and that Anonymous comments are understood by this writer to be from the accuser of the brethren, and will not likely be addressed. Also, I sometimes hold a comment in moderation until I pray over a response and have time to answer well.

    This is why I left HomeschoolBlogger and HomesteadBlogger in the first place…I wanted more freedom to say that which I feel led to say without being under the authority of anyone but my husband and YHWH Himself.

    If you are looking for freedom of speech…get your own blog. :) And let me know, so I can come read it, too.
