New Year, New Adventures


Ah, 2014! I know this blog is about a month late, but better late than never, right? I have really fallen off the blogging wagon so to speak;  here’s to a new year and many posts of new adventures. We are in the middle of praying about some things for our family, but not ready to share them with cyber space, so please keep us in your prayers as we seek the Lord’s will.

Here is what we are up to so far this year…


Eating better! And by eating better I don’t mean dieting, oh NO, diet is an ugly word in this house. I mean, we are learning lots about what we eat and the importance of what goes in. My goodness, did you even know the Bible says some things about eating? Just take a look at I Corinthians 6! Lots to say there about our bodies and what goes in.

Discipline. Okay, this one is mostly for me. The Lord has revealed to me how very lacking I am in this area oh and how important it is. I don’t mean discipline with the children even though that is a part of it, but discpline in every area of my life (including what I eat).

School, school and more school. I really do love homeschooling my kiddos and so far this school year has been one of our smoothest. I am so very grateful for the privilege of having my children home with me every day.

Preaching. Well, okay, this one is for Jason. J It’s only February and he has already had several opportunities to preach and for that we praise the Lord.


Essential Oils! Oh wow, am I ever just tip-toeing into this one but loving what I’m learning. I have a great DoTerra representative who is so patient to answer all my questions and my family is already benefiting from this easy and natural alternative medicine.

Okay, I guess that’s what we are up to so far this year… Oh me and hubby have birthdays in the next week, but once you hit 30, birthdays are better left unnoticed.


We are looking forward to a great year serving the Lord and walking this journey in faith.

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...

Little Lessons in Faith

Last weekend, Jason and I had the privilege to go and work with a missionary who is beginning a church plant in the states. He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary. My husband replies (for at the least the fifth time) “I don’t know honey, he said he would tell us when we get closer.” I smile and try not to stress, as I am planner and when a trip is involved I have it ALL planned weeks before! True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
