  • I have been praying and asking for help since I last posted about having a time of rest. The
    biggest thing I keep noticing is to follow the Boyscout motto of “Be Prepared.” That is all there  is  to it. Do as  […]

  • Genesis 2: 2-3 Thus the heavens and all the earth were

    Myself and my 13 year old son are already on the gf/cf diet. And while I have lost a significant amount of weight, we do have a long way to go. Thank you for your suggestion.

  • Life gets crazy, as my life from time to time has shown. Something we all know. But recently I have accepted some help from a friend named Lynn Northcutt who runs a ministry called Starting Point Family Services. Lynn is a homeschooling mom who has 2 autistic children and 1 mainstream child. So this past [...]

  • In Isaiah 53:5 God say “  4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we [...]

  • I heard earlier this week from a friend whose child was recently diagnosed with  autism. While I sat listening to her cry I just wanted to cry for her because her story was so similar to mine.

It says ” 15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, [...]

  • When I first heard the saying as a child that slow and steady wins the race, I had no idea how much that would impact my life as an adult homeschooling 4 kids. Irregardless of their special needs. I have burned myself out to where in the past month I have found out that I [...]

  • I have spent the past few months thinking about this one. First of all I believe that God is God and can do anything He chooses. I also believe that Jesus Christ is His Son and was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, and then was beaten beyond recognition then hung on a cross [...]

  •  1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 says ” 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 [...]
