Wednesday, July 2, 2008 - How to be the BEST mama ever!
So I went to a baby shower today. I gave this little talk:
How to be the BEST mama for your kids.
There are a LOT of books out there about parenting. 'Biblical Parenting, Successful Christian Parenting, Effective Parenting in a Defective World, Grace-based Parenting, Bringing Up Boys... these are just a tiny fraction of the books I've read and have on my bookshelf.
•
But is it necessary to read parenting books to be a good parent? I mean, really... I think a lot of people who've read a lot of books on parenting, might think they know quite a lot about the subject; and maybe they do. But do books really help us to become the BEST?
What kind of things do the BEST mamas do?
Do they always dress their kids in style, keep their faces clean and hair in order? Do they always carry photos of their kids and always talk to their children in a nice tone of voice while in public? Do they have a job or stay at home? Do the BEST mamas always cook 3 course healthy meals and get down on the floor and play with their kids every day? Do they have LOTS of kids, or only just a few? Do they smile ALL the time?
Do the BEST mamas ever make mistakes?
We all want to think that motherhood isn't so shallow as all that, but at the same time we sometimes judge others based on such standards as these. We think, 'Oh, she is so sweet with her kids, just listen to how she talks to them. She really understands and cares for them. She is such a great mom!' Or sometimes we compare ourselves knowingly or unknowingly. We think, 'Wow, she has really got it all together. How does she do herself up like that and have her kids dressed so cute and run her own business and...? I can't even seem to get out of bed before 9.'
What do the BEST mamas look like? How do I become one?
Well, you can try to read all the books, and I guarantee you will learn something. If nothing else, you will learn that you cannot do it all. You can ask every mother that has more experience than you do, and you will soon learn that she cannot do it all either. Reading books is good, asking for advice is good.
But, how do I become the BEST mama for MY kids?
I'm going to tell you the secret. It is SO simple.
Love Jesus. Walk daily with your Savior. Cultivate an intimate relationship with the Lover of your soul. Obey Him.
The BEST mamas in the world are the best disciples.
Being the BEST mama is the same thing as being a faithful follower of Jesus.
•
Here's what fruit the Word of God tells us that we should be seeing as believers (that means mothers too):
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
gentleness, faithfulness and self-control
Sounds like pretty good mother material to me...
•
What about this motherly advice: 'admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in ALL circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.'
•
These references are just a few of the MANY that we can safely apply to our lives to help us become the BEST mamas ever for our kids; requirement number one: obedience.
•
So we see that though there are thousands of books written on parenting. We need not look further than our bedside table. The Word of God speaks, all we really have to do is obey. It speaks to every subject.
So, How can YOU be the BEST mama ever?
Love Jesus.
Walk with Him.
Listen when He speaks to you through His Word.
Obey.
Being the BEST mama ever is synonymous with being a faithful follower of Christ.
'Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2
Saturday, June 28, 2008 - Tribute to Friendship, my mother - 2nd edition
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us when adversity takes the place of prosperity when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
--Washington Irving
The longest friendship I've ever had is that I share with my mother. She and I go way back. It was probably her face that I gazed at when I opened my eyes for the very first time in this world.
A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family confederacy, an extension of her self. And mothers are their daughters' role model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their relationships. ~Victoria Secunda
I'm sure there have been times when my mother wondered if I liked her at all. I'm sorry for those years that I was self absorbed and ignorant of all she did for me. And I regret those years when I was a selfish, hormonal teenager. I've probably thought and even said things that hurt her terribly. She seems to have forgiven me, she doesn't ever even mention it. Somehow we survived those tumultuous times.
The best conversations with mothers always take place in silence, when only the heart speaks. ~Carrie Latet
Now we're friends; I would venture to say the best of friends. We like being together, and talking to and listening to each other. We like sharing things and giving gifts to each other (mostly she shares with me and buys me and my children things. How can I help but like her? ;) heheheh. just kidding). But really, I was talking with a friend the other day, about how our moms really know how to give presents. What I mean is, whatever it is, you totally know that it was well thought out, and intentionally given. It is always the perfect gift.
"Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world."
-- Kate Douglas Wiggin
She is a nice person, she is generous and cheerful. If I am ever any of those things, I owe it to my mother. I hope someday to be more like her. We are not the same, but we have much in common. We are different, but uniquely similar. She's nicer than I am.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
~George Cooper
My mom helps me out just about everyday. I know I can count on her when I need something. I hope I can be such a friend for her. Unfortunately, we live continents apart. But she sends packages all the time AND she comes to visit us once a year and that means the world to all of us!
"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but
whose place no one else can take."
-- Cardinal Mermillod
Mother, you are very precious. Thanks for being my friend for so many years.
Monday, June 16, 2008 - 200th Entry! woohoo :) Family Picture
Okay, so for being such a monumental post, you'd think I'd write about something exciting, reflective or at least interesting... but, there's just no time.
So, here we have it, in celebration of my 200th post:
Marsha asked for a family photo, and she's gonna get it! Woohoo!
Look at what God's blessed me with! What a gorgeous family I have been entrusted with. May God ever be the MOST important, and may we serve Him with ALL of our hearts.
Monday, June 16, 2008 - AO Xtra reading suggestions
I am posting this here for my own information and reference:
A friend from AmblesideOnline's yahoo group posted this today and these are books I've already considered using as extra reading, so her post summed it up for me...
>Can someone point me in the right direction? (We are about to start Y3,
but the Narnia series was an easy read alone to give you a feel for reading
level.)
I'm not the Advisory, but I have a couple of suggestions for good free
reading books. One of the things that begins to come up around year 4 is that AO
schedules the first book in a fabulous series - and having read book 1, you
just have to read the rest! I don't like to get stuck in a series for too
long, so we switch around between these. You might get started on some of those
AO series books now before you get busier in the later years:
The Borrowers (5 books)
Laura Ingalls Wilder (all scheduled in AO, but you could move ahead)
Anne of Green Gables (8? books)
Swallows and Amazons (12 books)
Ralph Moody books (6? books)
The Wizard of Oz
Mary Poppins
Dr. Doolittle (we liked the sequels even better than the original)
Stewart Little, Trumpet of the Swan (by Charlotte's Web author EB White)
Other good books you might also try (while I'm thinking of series books):
All-of-a-Kind- Family (NY Jewish family, early 1900's)
Grandma's Attic (like a lighter Laura Ingalls Wilder; funny, Christian)
Dark is Rising series (modern setting dealing with ancient British legend)
My Side of the Mountain and 2 sequels (great nature story of a boy in the
wilderness)
Sarah, Plain and Tall and sequels
My Father's Dragon - 3 books, a bit younger
By the way, be careful with some series (that are probably twaddly to begin
with) like Hardy Boys and Boxcar Children. The higher numbers are not
written by the original author and can get very weird. (All of the above are full
series by AO-listed and/or award-winning authors.)
Author: Elisabeth Elliot Source: A Lamp For My Feet Scripture Reference:Philippians 3:1-1
A Safeguard for the Soul
Souls are vulnerable things. They need safeguards. It was when Paul was in prison that this idea came to him. He had just been writing to the Philippians about the benefits that accrued because of his own sufferings and the possible death he might die. He told them of Epaphroditus' illness and anxiety, and finished with "In conclusion, my brothers, delight yourselves in the Lord!...You will find it a great safeguard to your souls" (Phil 3:1 JBP).
It would be very easy to allow depression and anxiety to overcome us when we look at the dismal circumstances in which we sometimes find ourselves. Who had better reason than Paul for depression? ("Oh well, but he was Saint Paul!" we counter.) He had learned by practice how to apply the soul's safeguard, which is not mere enjoyment. It is delight. This is a command and therefore an act of will, and it is done in the Lord. No circumstance is so dismal as to prevent obedience to the command. No trouble can blast that safeguard. Do it. Do it by faith. Delight yourself in the Lord. Maybe you will have to get out of bed, get up from your chair, go outdoors and walk, sing a song out loud, bake a pie for somebody, or mow the lawn as an offering of praise. You can do something which will help you to obey that command. It is amazing how strongly what we do affects how we feel.
Monday, May 12, 2008 - A Tribute to Friendship, adult friends
I have several beautiful friendships. I hope that you've been as blessed as I have to experience it. The kind of friendship that doesn't need renewal. Friends with whom you have true fellowship. When you get together after long absences, it feels just the same. Mutual understanding, love and admiration are the ties that bind. The Lord has been gracious and generous and given me several relationships like these, but today is the day for highlighting two in particular. So don't feel left out those of you who know that our friendship is like this... maybe a different day I'll surprise you by highlighting our special relationship!! :)
The Lord has used these two particular friends in very special roles in my life over the last several years. We've all been through some pretty trying moments, but blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
I LOVE these girls SO much!
And we're all wearing zippered hooded wool sweaters! How cute. (We did NOT plan that) heheheh.
My friend to the left, Deb, has been such an encouragement in my life from the time when I was newly married still just starting a family. She opened my eyes to the beauty of God's word. There have been many times, when because of her sweet example, I myself am drawn closer to my Savior. The joy of the Lord shines out unabashedly from her happy smile and ready laugh, and there is such a depth of beauty that only comes from hungering and thirsting after righteousness. When I'm down, I can tell her everything and know that she will help bear my burden and pray for me. As sappy as it sounds, she has taught me how to love. :S Our families have both moved away from each other several times, but the Lord has allowed us several times of living in the same city, which I miss terribly. Our kids have an ongoing long-distance special friend relationship, and our husbands are good friends. She's WAY older than me, but age doesn't matter. ;) heheheh. This is my beloved friend. (Deb, if you're reading this, smile. I love you.)
My friend Betsy, is on the right in the picture (my left). We've become friends more recently in the last couple years through circumstances definitely brought about by the Lord. Praise Him for his all knowing. Betsy has been a steady source of encouragement through the joys and difficulties of ministry when we were in the States. She has such a heart for MuLTi-cUltURaL ministry and has taught me many things vital to being a missionary. She has provided a listening ear, and we've talked LATE into the night many times. I love her flair for decorating, it is such an inspiration to me to make a place beautiful. She has shown love to my kids, has been their aunt Betsy and remembered them and for that I am very grateful. She is my very special friend who I love, appreciate and miss SO MUCH!
To ALL my friends:
I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge - even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you - so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
We arrived back in Trujillo at 7am, after spending the night sitting up on a bus, holding little ones... ALL NIGHT. But tired as we were, it didn't change the sweetness of getting back HOME. We've been gone for a WHOLE month. We are SO glad to be here, together - just us.
What is HOME? Home is a strange term, because it doesn't have to mean where you grew up (though it can), or where you spend a majority of your time (though often it is). Home can mean lots of things. Home can mean where you're staying, where your loved ones are, where your stuff is. It depends on the person and the context. Sometimes home is a place where you are temporarily, (like when we were in Bolivia, after taking a walk, my kids say, "Can we go home now?").
We've only lived in this new city, in this new house for 6 months. Strange how a month long journey away can make this place seem so comfortable, so longed after. But I'm still not sure it's the place that makes it home. Even though certainly that is a part. There is a place element.
For me, home is where Micah and my kids are. Home is where our special belongings are. Home is where the heart is. :) In this case, that's pretty true. At times, home has been a hotel room, a room at our parents' house, a friend's house, a tent or even just a little niche for our little family with our suitcases.
Valiant as that sounds, there is not many things my heart longs after more on this earth than to have a home. Somewhere to be... for a long time. A home where everything runs smoothly. A place that is lovely to look at, and peace reigns. Where all my favorite people long to be, and a place where I belong.
Praise the God in Heaven that He has thought of all of that and He's the one who's given us those longings. He has not intended for us to live here. We are on a journey. Granted it's a long one (shorter for some than others, to His glory). Our destination isn't earthly, this is not where we belong. He's waiting for us, at HOME. That's where everything runs smoothly, it's lovely and peaceful. It's where we're made for, it's where God is.
Home on earth in reality is sort of an ironicly transitory idea. Most of us, before traveling much, or who've lived a normal American life may not feel as strongly aware of that dimension. The idea of home, to some may seem very fixed and unchanging. But all of us as Christians need to be reminded of the fact that this earth is not our home! It's a transitionary place. We thank God for the blessings He's granted to us on earth, but we must be mindful that these things serve as a reminder to us of our REAL home. Home in Heaven.
So go hug the person you love most, sew some curtains, make dinner, bake your bread, love your kids, write a letter, appreciate your bed, or whatever it is that you like doing most at home,
BOSTON - If a stay-at-home mom could be compensated in dollars rather than personal satisfaction and unconditional love, she'd rake in a nifty sum of nearly US$117,000 a year.
That's according to a pre-Mother's Day study released Thursday by Salary.com, a Waltham, Mass.-based firm that studies workplace compensation.
The eighth annual survey calculated a mom's market value by studying pay levels for 10 job titles with duties that a typical mom performs, ranging from housekeeper and day care centre teacher to van driver, psychologist and chief executive officer.
This year, the annual salary for a stay-at-home mom would be $116,805, while a working mom who also juggles an outside job would get $68,405 for her motherly duties.
One stay-at-home mom said the six-figure salary sounds a little low.
"I think a lot of people think we sit and home and have a lot of fun and don't do a lot of work," said Samantha Russell, a Fremont, N.H., mother who left her job as pastry chef to raise two boys, ages two and four. "But they should try cleaning their house with little kids running around and messing it up right after them."
The biggest driver of a mom's theoretical salary is the amount of overtime pay she'd receive for working more than 40 hours a week. The 18,000 moms surveyed about their typical week reported working 94.4 hours - meaning they'd be spending more than half their working hours on overtime.
Working moms reported an average 54.6 hour "mom work week" besides the hours they spent at paying jobs.
Russell agreed her job as a stay-at-home mom is more than full-time. But she said her "job" brings intangible benefits she wouldn't enjoy in the workplace.
"The rewards aren't monetary, but it's a reward knowing that they're safe and happy," Russell said of her sons. "It's worth it all."
We've had a great time here in Camiri, and can't believe the two weeks are already gone by. We've learned a lot about how this Bible Institute works, the students learned a lot about evangelism, our kids learned how to get along with missionary cousins and... well, we'll write more about that soon!
...we're writing now to let you all know that we will seriously need prayer over the next couple days.
Here are some things you can pray for over the next week and a half:
**we have some serious issues with our documents - we need the Lord to work out Mya's visa quickly and smoothly (on Monday morning), and that we'd be able to re-enter Peru with no problem (sometime Tuesday).
**safety in travels - plane rides, bus trips, car and train - there has been a lot of unrest and have been numerous roadblocks in the cities that we'll have to travel through.
**that the kids would experience little/no altitude sickness when passing through La Paz, Bolivia and then a few days in Cusco, Peru (this would be miraculous).
**that we'd truly exhibit the fruits of the Spirit to each other and the people around us during travel - which is a pretty big ordeal for our big family.
"Humans nearly wiped out 70,000 years ago, study says"
How right can they be?!
Well, according to the Bible EVERY LIVING THING ON EARTH was wiped out, with exception to the family in the boat! Every living thing was on the verge of extinction!
"He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark."
They just got their dates wrong!
Paleontologist Meave Leakey, a Genographic adviser, said: "Who would have thought that as recently as 70,000 years ago, extremes of climate had reduced our population to such small numbers that we were on the very edge of extinction?"
If only he'd read and believed his Bible, he'd have known that our numbers were down to only eight! and that we were on the edge of extinction way more recently than he had thought...
I saw a flea IN MY BED last night, and I've been feeling the creepy crawlies ever since. We're on a farm in Bolivia, you see. There are cats, kittens, dogs, cows, LOTS of grass and so it seems we've picked up a flea or two (or we don't really want to know how many, we just want to get rid of them).
We need something that will get rid all of all the little buggers, but won't kill us at the same time. I've found these natural remedies online:
So, I think I'll start with the citrus idea (lemon boiled in water, then left to steep over night, made into spray)
When I get back to Peru, I'm totally going to use Tea Tree oil as it is good for just about everything skin related and eucalyptus leaves and rosemary are also super readily available in Peru.
...and I think I really will start a citronella farm ;)
Guerilla Guy was sitting on the bed this morning when he told me that he had counted his mosquito bites, and he has 56 on ONE leg!
Later on, in the afternoon, I was sitting next to LooneyTunes on the porch swing, when he told me he was probably up to 175 total mosquito bites, "because I counted them this morning and I had 161, and I've probably gotten more since then," he said.
This was 2 days ago, they probably have twice this many now! Poor guys. They don't seem to suffer too much, I seem to be having a much harder time not scratching my bites.
YIKES. We are so totally like fresh meat for these bugs down here.
There are two different kinds, actually. :) There are the mosquitoes, which really are the kind you want after you experience the other kind, the 'Maree-bee'. These are nasty little gnat-like blood suckers that you don't even feel land on you, but after they're done, several minutes later after leaving a little blood blister center, swell into a nice hard lump, and start itching like crazy. Oh my word, do they itch!
Can you see that bite there with the little red spot in the middle? That's the really annoying itchy one.
If I lived here, I would so totally start a citronella farm!
Mya is eating solid foods! I cannot believe it! Baby #5 has hit this milestone... can it be? Before I know it she's going to be out of diapers and then out of the house. Oh man.
With every baby I come to this stage, and although I remember that it all begins with rice cereal, somehow I've forgotten how much, how often etc. So, a-googling I go.
We are safely (with exception to repeated exposure to poisonous creatures) arrived and well in Camiri, Bolivia. The Mattixes have been taking good care of us here, getting us through the blockaded roads and protecting us from Bushmaster and Coral snakes. ;) Micah in return has been teaching a ministry course in their Bible Institute. So far, it's turned out to be a pretty fair trade :) The kids are enjoying themselves as are all of the big people with much good fellowship. It is good to be among friends.
We did have some difficulty with our documents upon entrance into the country. Obtaining Mya's visa is part of the original purpose for the trip, and we ask your continual prayers in this regard that the Lord will work all that out with ease. We are sure that there is a reason for everything. God is sovereign. He is also good, and we have not lacked any good thing and we continue to wait on Him.
Thank you for praying for us, we are dependent on our Heavenly Father,
the Tuttles
prayer requests:
The roads are still blocked, this restricts travel that may be necessary. This area of the country is also unsettled, and there have been some ultimatums issued between the government and this region with deadlines very near to our dates of travel :S
Fellow missionary friends of ours here, Gabe and Kari's daughter Selah, is in the hospital please pray for them.
Visa stuff to get figured out and to all go smoothly as possible
We pray that God would work mightily through Micah in the lives of the students here, with lasting impact.
Health and safety - from sickness and from venomous creatures :)
PS. Micah wanted me to attach a picture of one of the snakes that Jesse killed, but I haven't yet uploaded it, so stay tuned :)

On Sunday night we will embark on mission impossible:
travel by bus,
then plane,
then train,
then boat,
then bus,
then plane
and then car to Camiri Bolivia.... with five little kids.
Woohoo! It just does NOT get much better than that! :)
So, here's the scoop. Micah will be teaching a class for two weeks in Camiri, Bolivia. To see the schedule of courses at the Facultad Biblica de Camiri with the Mattixes, click here: http://www.fbcamiri.org/rbcms/curriculum.html Micah decided that he just could not be away from his family for that long, and so we're all going. heheh.
That said, please pray for us! Safe travels, good health, joy, peace, patience, kindness... (grin) ...grace and that the Lord would clear any roadblocks :) - *the roads have in fact been blocked for 12 days now into and out of Camiri! Well, we'll just see about that! "The hand of our God is good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him."
It is an adventurous life walking alongside the one who walks on water. Lucky for us his power is made perfect in weakness, his grace IS sufficient. It is God who works in us not only to work for his good pleasure, but to want to!
We continually thank God for your prayers, you are an essential part of God's work.
The sermon last Sunday was super enlightening. A visiting speaker from Argentina spoke about the significance of Palm Sunday; Christ entering Jerusalem on a donkey.
He compared the crowd, the destination, the followers, and the choice of mount with what may have been common to the times; a Roman general victorious after battle.
This is the mental picture etched in my mind:
A Roman conqueror on parade would have entered the city triumphantly on his illustrious war-horse. He would have been surrounded by his gallant commrades decorated by their spoils won in battle, trailed by the humiliated prisoners of war. The crowd would gather, and on occasions such as these, many a person wishing to advance himself would probably be vying for the best position in order to be seen and recognized. Ambition and pride would have been the fuel for such a time of great festivity. The conqueror's destination was fame and glory as well as an elevated position in society and with the council or existing government.
On the other hand, we have Jesus of Nazareth, Messiah, Son of God. He chose a donkey as his mount. His following was that of simple people - the uneducated disciples, the poor, the sick and the hungry. Those who waited for him inside the city were people who hated him. His destination was humiliation, torture and death on a cross.
Who is this Jesus?
It is His humility that makes Him beautiful. He whose name is above any other name, the King of kings, calls us and says, "Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls." The one so deserving of our devotion, waits for us to wear ourselves out searching and trying. He doesn't demand our attention, He wins it with his gentleness. This meekness belies great strength. He hasn't anything to prove, it has already been proven. It isn't based on our performance, it's based on his. He calls those who are tired of trying and He offers us rest.
He has triumphed and is victorious.
He is deserving of all power, honor, wisdom and strength.
I learned how to wear Sweet Chiquita on my back... a great feat, I must add. It took several tries and it required a half hour of my beloved's patience and both of us working at it. I wonder if I'll ever attain to single handed proficiency...
LooneyTunes is such a neat guy. He helps with Sweet Chiquita SO much. They adore each other.
Now, this pair can get into a LOT of trouble when they're together... even if they DO look so cute!
