I am a homeschooling mom who enjoys reading, writing, gabbing, photography, desktop publishing, and letting someone else do the cooking. I love my Superman husband, precious daughter, 2 dogs, my neighbor (that means you!) and Jesus.

Life, the universe, (homeschooling, the economy) and everything

everfaith

I think it’s been over a week since my last post.  Life has been crazy with a multitude of adjustments.  My daughter did not have to have surgery on her arm, but she did have to have a new cast, which induced lots of tears pouring and steam pouring out of ears — and that’s just with me!  The new-cast-process ended with another x-ray and a nurse practitioner shouting out to us as they were herding us out that “the bones might have shifted a bit but I think they’re okay.” I literally had a sleepless night, worrying that the … Continue reading Life, the universe, (homeschooling, the economy) and everything

In a Moment

everfaith

One moment I was on the phone with my husband who had called to say he would pick our daughter up from her gymnastics class… One moment I was considering how much house I could clean in the few minutes I had until they got home from gym class… …when suddenly, in two seconds, everything changed. My daughter fell off the balance beam at the gym.  She told me later that she screamed as soon as she hit the floor and that she just knew her arm was broken.  What we didn’t know at the time is that not one … Continue reading In a Moment

If not, I want to know.” And then, in Genesis 19, the three men who had previously visited Abraham went to see Lot in Sodom.  The villagers were so crazy with lust for these men that they tried to break down the door and harm Lot who … Continue reading Pillar of Salt

Digging Into the Closet

everfaith

I live in a small town of barely more than 10,000 people.  There are, however, not one but two self-storage businesses within a five mile radius.  Imagine my surprise to see red earth and bulldozers in a field less than two miles away from my home with a “Coming Soon: Self Storage” sign affixed to a newly erected construction fence.  Soon there will be three self-storage businesses that will be happy to hold on to my stuff. I guess my mind is on storage “crap” today because I am getting up the nerve to clean out the dreaded CLOSET UNDER … Continue reading Digging Into the Closet

Is It A ‘God Thing?’

everfaith

I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t believe in coincidences.  God has answered every one of my prayers…even a non-answer is an answer.  It’s a “not yet,” or possibly a “never.”  But, since He is God alone and I am not, I accept his authority in all areas of life.  Even in the confusing ones. At our community group meeting last week while we shared prayer requests, I told of how my parents had a very quick move from one part of the state to another.  My grandmother is not in the best of health, so my parents decided, with … Continue reading Is It A ‘God Thing?’
