Walk by Faith

When things don't go the way you hoped it would , when your heart is wanting things that you thought were meant to be, when you can't quite see His plan, when really all you can do is wait and try to get over the hurt, that's when Faith comes in.

Faith means being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. 

Sure and Certain. Even when we. just. can't. see.

Faith means we have to take steps of belief without having any more proof than His promises.

We have to trust if it's God's way it's the right way. 

Even when it's dark.  

Even when we feel alone. 

Even when we're angry hurt or confused. 

Sometimes it seems that His way isn't working. 

Sometimes it seems that we need to step in, take over, do it our way because this is real life and scripture is nice but it doesn't always apply. 

But that is wrong. 

It Always Applies.

This Harsh World, The Butterfly Effect and The End of the Story

These last few weeks have been hard to process. I feel overwhelmed with the realities of this world. The reality that this is a hard and sad, broken place. The shootings in Aurora, the continued genocide in Zimbabwe , the attacks on men standing firm in what they believe , the selling of people and the list can go on and on. I strongly believe with all that I am that we serve a Good and Merciful God. And yet in times like this I can doubt and question where is His goodness when we need it most. I'll never cease to be amazed at how my God answers me. It was all over everywhere. As I questioned and shook my fists and asked "why?" and " how could you let this be?", He gently answered me over and over again .  As I asked these questions with tears in my eyes, He reminded me of the book I had finished on the beach a few weeks ago. This man full of God given wisdom wrote: There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and...

Why We homeschool

This list has been rolling around in my head for some time now. I feel the need to put it in print so it is here to reference when I need encouragement and focus. 1. I get to have my kids with me! 2. My children will understand by Whom they were made and for Whose purpose they were created. 3. I am the one who has the privilege of filling their minds with all the wonder of God's creation. 4. My boys can be free to play, jump, run, "shoot", build, dream pretty much as they see fit. 5. There is no concern for crowd control. 6. Field trips are with me, not with huge numbers of marginally supervised 8 year olds . 7. There are no school buses or other small crowded areas of unsupervised chaos. 8. I choose what they eat. They eat when they are hungry, not when the bell rings. 9. Public bathrooms--my kids just use ours and I clean it. 10. We choose not to allow our kids to be tiny cogs in a crazy machine built to make the rich richer and the existence and sovereignty of God a fa...
