A Couple of Things...

This Article was published in Awards, Contests, and Tags

    Ok... a couple of things. My blogging schedule has changed. Joc and I are now going to the library to blog because we can both blog at the same time, and its on high-speed so its faster.
    We are going on Mondays and Thursdays; Joc’s blog days. So my new schedule is Monday-Leave comments, Wednesday-Post, Thursday-Leave comments, and Saturday-Post. So the thing that has changed it just when I leave comments. So hope that doesn’t confuse anyone... I am sure confused with this. LOL!!


    The Super Secret Angels group is officially closed for the first session. Thank you to all of you who decided you could join. I will be sending you your SSA this weekend, hopefully!!
    I am thinking of running this session til October 7th. That is 3 months.  I will then reopen it to submissions and we will start a new session November 7th.


    Lucy is getting soo big!! She is 3 months old today. WOW!! I can’t believe she has been with us only that long. It seems like she has been here forever. Mom did a post about her today. She has a list of all the things Lucy can do. She is just soo SWEET!! Oh and pictures of Lucy too!!


Here is a fun tag that Elizabeth the Sweetie tagged me with.

    Paulie blogged about his stay at our house too, so if you want to read his thoughts about it, go to his blog and leave him comments. He also made THE COOLEST belt ever... I won’t say anymore cause you need to go check it out, but it is just way awesomely “geeky“. LOL!!

    I will be continuing my more thoughtful post, if y'all think you would like to read them. It seems that the posts that are about nothing in particular get more feedback than the ones that are more thoughtful. But I feel like I need the posts that are more in depth. I want to be an enouragement on my blog. Not just a fun blog. I have so many different subjects that I want to write on. Wish I had more time to get them out of my head. 

 
    OK... I posted about the horses and some other things we are doing on the homestead over at "My Learning Experience".

As Always...

My dear Amanda,

I have been waiting for you to post ever since I got on here!

Don't think of Dawn as the song, think of it in relation to the dawn of the morning. Or when you think of your middle name you can think of Christ's resurrection. You know it was in the dawn of the morning when the women came to the tomb and found it empty. You may not be named for that, but you can choose to think of it when you think of your name!

Your visit with the Suarez's sounds so fun! I doubt I could have hit the target with that knife!

I am glad you enjoyed my poem.

Here is a poem for Caleb. He may not understand it, but you might enjoy it:

Happy Belated Birthday to you
Now that you just turned two!
I hope your day was splendid
And that you were pleased when it ended.

Rather long words to use for a two year old I know! Splendid? Belated? Hmmm. Oh well!

Happy Belated Birthday to your brother Eric too. I hope he had a pleasant day.

Do you have a "next page" button somewhere on your blog, so I can go back and read posts that I missed on the last page? I could not find it anywhere.

Love Your Sister in Christ,
Rebekah ~ The Lord's Daughter

Peanut butter with chocolate??? Interesting mixture...never tried it. And yes it is very impotant to include the"1/2" otherwise you wouldn't be telling the truth...lol ;) Last time I checked I was 6', but who knows where I'll stop, I am almost taller than my dad.

Thanks for stopping by,

Yes, my garden was only put in about 2 weeks ago and that's why its so small. Mom started her's in March so it is really big right now.

haha, your posts are so long I always forget what the first part is about by the time I get to the end, and by the time I click "leave a comment" and sign in, I forget what the second half was about. I have short term memory.

Oh, yeah-- your tag. I didn't know your middle name was Dawn. Or did I? There goes my memory again....

Yes, please continue your deeper posts. I really enjoy them. (I like the fun ones too though, I feel like I know you better.)

Gunnar isn't cooing very much yet but he has been rolling over and getting himself around quite a bit for his tender years. I can't wait to hear him laugh. He is alot like David (4yo), looks the same, acts the same....

I don't get bored either-- that would mean that I have extra time on my hands (which I don't!).

I think you have a lovely name. I really don't like my name either though. My sisters' names are so light and lovely and just pretty-- Christine, Leah, Deborah... and then there's me. Marsha. Sounds so heavy and there is absolutely no lilt to it whatsoever. Especially if you could hear me say it right now-- MARRR-SHUH. *sigh*

Oh well. I guess you get what you get and you don't throw a fit! That goes for dinner too. ;-)

What I Believe

I am a Biblical Believer and don’t conform to the denominations of today’s world. I am a non-fiction Believer. That means that God has already written my life story and I don’t want to change it by doing what I want, but follow it perfectly by His Word and Guidance. I will follow that plan alone. I will not make my own plans, but follow where He leads me.
I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and love Him as my Savior. I want to live wholly for Him and give my everything to Him.
I believe in Jesus Christ. That He is the Only Son of God. That He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father unless through Jesus Christ.
I believe Jesus Christ was beaten, crucified, and rose again in three days. I believe that He died for my sins, and washed them away. I believe that He is coming back for his people some day soon.
I believe that a marriage consists of a MAN and a WOMAN. I believe that the husband should be the head of the household and that all decisions lie ultimately with him. I believe that a woman should be a keeper of her home. I believe she does not need to get a job outside of her home and out of the authority of her husband.
I believe in a full quiver, and that God will give me the desires of my heart. I believe that the woman should stay home and raise her children in the LORD.
I am praying and waiting for God to bring the man of my dreams. I can’t wait to get married and have my own family. I am excited that I can be a stay at home mom and keep my home. I want to be a Homemaker and make my home to be a haven for my family to learn to be Biblical and Godly.
I hope to be an encouragement and teach Biblical things to all who stop by my blog and be encouraged and learn from others.
