Spending Time Together, Forever!




Sometimes I need to hear the simplest things, that I should know, in church that change my whole outlook on life. 
A missionary couple that our church prays and supports, came back to give a message. What I got out of the message was just being able to serve God where you are. Some missionaries are called to foreign countries, while some are just called to serve God right where they are. Mr. Elbin addressed the hardship of leaving family and loved ones to go on these long mission trips. He made the point that even though it's hard to leave them, won't we be spending eternity with them in Heaven? If they know God and have a relationship with Him, we will always be with them. 

I've been having a really hard time being away from my son. We have always been so close but with him being older our bond is only growing stronger. What I failed to realized, until today, is that even though I'm wasting time away from Kye when I need to be doing what I have to to support us, I will be spending eternity with him...forever! Haha 

Isn't that amazing?!

As long as I am keeping my faith and relationship strong with Christ and I continue to raise my son up in a Christian house hold, I have absolutely nothing to worry about. 
Satan is working so much in this world that it's so easy to fall into sadness and loneliness. We just need to understand God is greater than all of these emotions. God has this all under control. He can fix any emotion and make it good! 


Surround ourselves with Godly people and everything will be alright!

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
