Trust our unchanging Lord.

I know I’ve left some people wondering what is going on in our lives and why I am suddenly selling a few things. I think it’s time to drop the bomb!

Let’s start here; I started school!
The last time I attended school was 20 years ago. Isn’t that something? 20 years later I have become a bit interested in receiving an education. I came to the conclusion that I was not getting any younger. That’s right we do age up. Oh sorry, trying to keep myself convinced! I also figured that a bit of friendly, fun, educated competition wouldn’t hurt the family. Within the next 2 months the whole family will be in school, yes that includes Sierra. Egh, yesterday I realized that ummm, yeah, I’m frightened by the fact that I’ll be corrected on my writing. Hello, I’ve always known that I cannot use correct grammar to save my life. But darn it, I refuse to let fear overcome me! Satan move out of the way because there’s no stopping me!

Next, well the kids have had such spiritual growth in their lives far beyond any words. I have not always been the best mom to them, but I knew that despite my attempts to “perfect” them, the only thing that would make the biggest impact in their lives would be Christ. I knew this as a (an addicted to drugs and alcoholic) teenager. I knew the best way to be able to sleep was to walk (and follow) in his footsteps. After all, why do you think he leaves those prints right in front us?

Back to the kids.
This week they are attending “Branded by Fire”. Crystal is digging the praise and worship. Mikey well he thinks he cool because he just does. And as cool as Mr. Stud thinks he is, God is shining through my stinky pre-teen. What a blessing this has been for my children and our family. I think what I’m going to do is have them say a little something on here. Yeah I think it sounds like a great idea.

Hehe; Next topic.
I have recently met the greatest, inspirational, blessed, and full of life people. I hold the friends I’ve made in the past close to my heart. Very few, but I love them and I know they love us even with our imperfections. They have become my family and I can’t imagine what life would be like without them.

Then comes the people at church. They seem to kind of like us (poor them). We adore them! They don’t know this but they have already helped us in more ways than they know. I gotta say this; the only negative part to them is that their kids are taller than me!!! Now please help me understand this. How could this be? Over all, they really have been a blessing in our lives and I look forward to watching them grow and vice versa.

The homeschool.
Though I have not known them long, they seem to connect as one body. , just as it should. There are no torn limbs but one full body. Wow...What an awesome group of devoted Christian ladies. I can’t wait to learn them. They have truly left me speechless. And already they are my sisters and I love them dearly.

Jim and Debbie.
Words can’t express the relationship that has grown (quickly). They have become a huge part of our family and have been a real blessing in our lives. Mike now calls them Jeb because he tends to mess their names up pretty bad and that is how it comes out.

Lastly on this area. The corpsmen at the clinic. Though I only hang out with them to eat (as the Navy does) they too have made a huge impact in our lives. This is the way you treat your fellow corpsmen. This is true commitment to your Navy.

HAHA! We’re MOVING!!! Yep we’re moving, BUTTTT not from here!

Hebrews 13:5
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such thing as you have. For he himself has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you”.

We’ve observed, we’ve listened, and we’ve made the final decision. We will be moving in to a 5th wheel for 18 months! That’s right sweetheart, we’re about to downsize. We’re going to pay off all our bills. We’re going to grow as a family. We’re going to have faith in Christ. We’re going to look at making this place our home! Ahhh feels so good to let you all know. I’m sure you’ll have questions and I’m sure some will come with hard criticism. And that’s okay, but (Hebrew 13:6) what can man do to me?

That’s it people….it’s time to clean and do some school work. If you have any questions can you ask here please? I don’t want to repeat myself so I’d prefer that it all be answered in one spot.

We’re excited!! We’ve lived in a bedroom for a grand total of a year and 2 months (with the kids). Only this time; we’ll have full access to the kitchen without question! We love you all and again thank you for being supportive!
