This Week… Studies and Socializing & 30 Days to Give Thanks Day 17
This Week…Oh I am so tired after all the planning for this weeks Thanksgiving festivities at our homeschool group. Bible: Progressing forward in Exodus, Jonathan began to walk with the Israelites out of Egypt. He read how the Lord led them by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night. We talked about how He still leads us today through the study of the Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He read how that rather leading them the shortest route to the land of Canaan, He diverted them toward the Desert of Sin, or the Sinai Peninsula because if they went through…

30 Days to Give Thanks Day 15 & 16
This is a bit late. But I have been busy for several days prepping for the Homeschool Support Group’s Thanksgiving Celebration which happened today. Day 15, Today I am thankful for my dear loving friend Joyce. Who is more than just a friend. She is a surrogate mother to me, she is grandmother to my son. She has stepped into our lives in a beautiful way bringing love and joy far beyond anything I could imagine. She encourages me in her words and in her deeds. She only ever speaks kindness about others, and even when she gets upset she never speaks ill about another soul. She has laughter in…

Marriage Moment: Absence and the Heart & 30 Days Link Up
Marriage Moment: Absence and the Heart My Beloved is now travelling on the weekends for freelance work. First, I am extremely thankful that the Lord is providing for our family in this way. Yet, when he leaves I feel a little pang of regret that he will be away. We’ve all heard the statement “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” For me this is very true. For 9 months before we got married Beloved and I were in college in 2 different states. I thought my heart would explode from the pain. It’s not that bad now, I do believe I have matured a bit with age. Yet, I do…

30 Days: Blog Readers & Leibster Award!
30 Days of Giving Thanks: Day 11 Thankful for my blog readers. It was a little more than a year ago that I started blogging. It started out as a natural progression from writing notes on facebook.

I didn’t imagine that more than just a few close friends would ever read my posts. What I have found instead is a vast online community where people (mostly women) from all over the globe encourage and support each other in word. My…
