Still Waiting~

I hope you have had a great weekend so far. Ours has been good. All the kiddos had another yard sale today (they had one last weekend too) and they made $20 dollars to split 4 ways. They made $5 a piece today and $ 6 a piece last Saturday. They also have the opportunity to earn $5 a piece every time their daddy gets paid ( which is 2 times a month), so they really enjoy making and saving money. They are all working towards saving for various different things. And we are also asking them to tithe along with us to the various places we give our tithe too. Our church is a home church and they just ask us to give to what we feel the Lord leading us to give. We want our children to see the blessing that they can get from giving to the Lord and to learn early that they can not out give God! Our oldest is saving for an iPad mini, the middle is saving for a collectable doll, the 3rd daughter is saving to be able to buy Christmas gifts for all of us and James isn't really saving...its the fact that I won't let him spend it. But it is burning a major hole in his wallet :-) 
As for Friday and the people that came to look at our house....they were here for atleast 45 mins and outside for atleast 10. I'm praying that's a good sign. My agent told us today that we should know what they think either tomorrow or Monday. Please pray for good news!
I have decided that in addition to doing a certain topic one day a week, I'm also going to post a link every weekend to out church service at Shepherd's Hill. We are so blessed every weekend and I know that you will be too. Bro. Paul broadcasts on Ustream every Sunday at approx. 10:30\10:45  central time and at 6pm every Thursday night. Also in central time. I will be adding a link to their written message that is on their website and if you want to then you can listen to the real message on Sundays and Thursdays through Ustream. Their website can be found here: www.shepherdshillhomestead.com
You can also "like" them on Facebook and get encouraging verses everyday and  a weekly link to get to the Bible study on Thursday and Church on Sunday.
Well I've got little ones to rodeo into bed and a busy day tomorrow worshipping our wonderful Savior with some of my most favorite people! I pray you all have a blessed Sunday~

Blessings~

2014 in Review

    I decided that a great place to start here on my blog since I haven't really blogged in so long is to recap our year. I would love to put lots of pictures in this post to be quite honest with you, I am posting from my new macbook air and I haven't the slightest clue how to post pictures  from here yet. So I'll probably come back with just a photo post :-)     In January of 2014, we re-listed our home after abruptly removing it from the market in early December 2013, with a new realtor. I honestly  had high hopes that our home would sell quickly. Again, God had other plans. Its still for sale as I type this and we are once again planning on moving to a different company after our contract ends, later this month. Im  sure some of you maybe thinking that perhaps this is a sign that it isn't God's will for us to move. And that may be the case. Time will only tell, but we certainly still feel that God wants us in the country and that he is preparing the perfect buy

Thoughts to Ponder~ a jumbled mess~

I've had many things on my mind lately and I have decided after much thought and prayer that this is a good place to share those things. I know I don't have a super popular blog that tons of people read, but the whole reason I set out to blog years ago was to keep memories and to hopefully inspire a few people along the way. Not to make money or have a ton of followers. I have not posted as frequently as I would have like to, but I really want to try to make a point to post atleast once a week from here on out. In real life, I have very few friends. I can credit the internet to my closest friend in real life and my other friends are all online, although I hope to meet some of them someday. I look at blogs and sometimes feel insecure in my own life. I think to myself, that my life isn't as "perfect" as some of those other ladies. I have struggles daily and live a very real life. My children are not cookie cutter kiddos lined up with fake smiles and perfectly styled

Update on life at our home :-)

I just realized that I haven't posted since our little Jonas was born nearly 8 weeks ago. My how time flies! Our life has been both wonderful and chaotic since then. So to update you all... Jonas was born March 1, 2013 at 10:48 am and he weighed 7 pounds and 8 ounces. He had a headfull of dark hair, tan skin and was such a sweet, calm baby from the start. I am so very blessed to have him be so calm especially after Jackson was quite a demmanding baby. He cried alot. But praise the Lord we got through it and he is a sweet, sweet little boy. My c-section went well and I have actually had one of the best recoverys ever. If it hadn't  been for just seeing Jonas and nursing him, I wouldn't have realized I had even gave birth. Much less by means of my 7th c-section! Jonas was toungue tied and we were so greatful to a new doctor in our area who is not only a wonderful ob/gyn, but specializes in breastfeeding issues and early infant care. So he came in on the next day after Jonas
