Finally Checking in...

I know it's been a while what can I say I've been busy... homeschooling my children has been an adventure and on top of that I am teachiug them to be respectful and responsible!

Praise the Lord! No one has been sick or even fighting symptoms in this season when it seems to be the fight!

I'm missing my brother and his family in Belieze!

Seeing everyone grow is amazing, we all do it, just not so obviously as our children.
My oldest turned 11 in October and that pushed me to realize how much they change from one to eleven! My youngest is one and even imagining him at eleven means I'd have to think of my oldest at 21!

I said all that to say that to say I am so blessed! God has placed these little ones in my life for me to guide and lead throughout thier lives for many many years!

My husband and I are continually seeking God to show us how to guide, discipline and lead our children to the lives that God has for them!

In order to do that I must first and foremost seek God for my life and that of being submissive to my husband! When we say submissive some think giving into his every whim and truly it just means following him with all your heart. God is first, My husband second and family third then so on. There are so many areas we give of ourselves and in so many places... so I need to focus first on God and EVERYTHING else will fall into place.

I CAN do ALL things through CHRIST who gives me Strength! Phil. 4:13

I had a revelation that saying the word can't at anytime was saying that God's word was wrong!
I may not be allowed to do some things or as I say to my children you can do that, though you may not do it at the present time.

Our words are so powerful, in our tongue is life and death. I seek to speak life to my children and to those around me... I will be positive!
