Let Go of the Past-Give it to God!!!!

Just think of it..... A thousand generations!!!

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; (Deuteronomy 7:9 KJV)

Enough hours in the day!??!!

Ever feel like you don't have enough hours in the day?
( raising my hand )
But must remember that as long as I prioritize, God first, Hubby second, Girls third, it will all work out!!

Thankful to serve a God who holds all time in His hands.... He doesn't get worried or stressed& He asks me to cast all my cares upon Him, because He cares for me!!!!!!
God is so very very good.. All the time!!
All the time..... God is good!!!!

We are so blessed, and my cup runners over with the Joy of Jesus!!

Have been trying to get decorated already for fall, but lacking a few extra "free" hours to get it all done.
That's ok ..... It will get done&we will enjoy it!!

And today is FRIDAY!!!! Yes!!!!
Looking forward to worship on Sunday, and hubby starts new schedule of having Monday's off again!!!!!!! Super excited about that...
So he can get plenty of rest in having his days off in a row...
And will be more realistic to go see my mother n law!!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!!!

Is it seriously time for "The" Seasons to start?

WOW... I can hardly believe it is this time of year again... 
seemed to go by so fast... yet so much has happened in this one year.
God has been so so very good to us, we are blessed beyond measure. 
We serve a mighty BIG GOD, because of WHO HE is, not what HE gives!!!

So Steve got down all the fall decorations out of the attic, tables are set up, and all manners of crafts , glue guns, all things mod podge, paint, ribbon, you name it!! 
It is time to have it done already.... but I came down with something, added to my other issues ( that I know God is healing also) slowed me down a bit.
Girls are keeping us busy to keep up with their work load... classes are going great for Shania and Kelsey, they are learning so much. They are also doing well in the rest of their studies. Kaity is doing awesome too!! 
She is TRYING to convince us to let her graduate next year from 8th grade early. 
We told her not to rush it and wait, be patient, enjoy the time... 
Besides I aint ( yes I know it is not proper grammar ) got the stamina for a 3rd year in a row graduation... We need a breather next summer!!

We are in the planning stages for a special young lady turning
 SWEET SIXTEEN!!!!! 
Kelsey will be fifteen in February, 
and Kaitlyn is turning 13 this December!! 

I posted 2/5 of the video series we just finished together as a family... 
We had never heard of this guy, he is a great speaker, speaks MY language, and preached it straight on!!! 
Nice to know we are NOT crazy despite what people around us may think!!
There are other people out there with the same value system, that is encouraging!! 
Great time of discussion, and sharing, and hearing the girls hearts on THEIR views, not what we want to hear, but from their hearts.

With several camps coming up mingled in with the holidays, and birthdays, and weddings, and baby showers, and home-school group events...
I have put WBSF on hold for a few months... I know we are not the only ones busy =) 

On a more sober topic,
 would appreciate your prayers for a fellow home-school mom from our group.
She has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.... as you can imagine there are many needs that go along with that.  PLEASE pray for her as the Lord would lay this dear woman on your heart. We do not need to know one another "personally" to pray, God already knows who we are talking about!!! 
BUT things happen when we join together in prayer!! 

This song comes to my mind tonight as I sit here.... 
Lets make this promise!! For one another!!

 
 

Again... skip to the part he starts speaking!!

Skip to the part he starts speaking..

Jesus commands my destiny!!!

Jesus You are my Passion!!

Shalom

Just wanted to take a moment to say we had a WONDERFUL day today!!!

The girls and I attended Living Proof Live Simulcast right here from the comforts of our bedroom!!
Started@6:30am our time, was SO worth it!! 
Oh how God moved, and spoke to our hearts, challenged us in His word!!
Was special because the girls had never heard Beth Moore speak live....

Awesome memories made today, God spoke to our hearts and bonds were strengthened!!

TO stand and do the commissioning looking into the eyes of my precious Girls, I will forever hold that moment close in my heart. To speak love and faith over one another, no words to describe it!!

 We want to live out our FAITH because FINE is not good enough!!!   

Few pictures from fun with friends several weeks ago!!

I have been meaning to get these pictures up ( for family out of town could see& those not on Face Book) 
I didn't post all, just a few =) 
She had an awesome weekend of celebration, and we are so proud of her. 
So hard to believe she is in HIGH SCHOOL!!!!               AND          Starting three online college classes starting today!!
Shania and Kelsey are both taking the same classes so that will be nice, they can be a study buddy!

Wow, seems I blinked and we are HERE..... I am VERY excited about this phase of life though too... 
And so very thankful for the three beautiful God fearing young ladies the Good Lord has allowed us to have the privilege to raise for HIM!!!!! 

Kaitlyn is entering JR.High this year... so we are full speed ahead with GREAT expectation for what the Lord has for our family and each one of the girls individually!! 
The Lord has opened some AMAZING doors to AWESOME opportunities!! As only HE can =) 

Did not think it was going to be possible for the girls to dual enroll this fall.... BUT GOD.... granted the desires of their hearts. 
And made it possible for several other resources to add into our studies this fall... 
God is SO SO good to us!! He is beyond what I can put into words.... Not for what He does, but for WHO HE is!!! The rest are benefits He bestows on HIS children!!  

So yes we are off to a VERY busy fall schedule, but oh so exciting. 

Kelsey's verse the Lord put on her heart as she enters this part of her life.

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy GOD is with thee withersoever thou goest."  Joshua 1:9
