Happenings Today...

My 15 yr old is seeing an orthodontist for the first time this morning. My oldest had braces and to tell you the truth, I'm not looking forward to this. :(  But he was born with a condition that makes orthodontia medically necessary so...here we go! 

 Later, my 17 yr old son is teaching art class to a group of our homeschooling friend's kids. He does the class in the dining room while the moms and I get to visit in the adjacent family room so it is a nice chance for us moms to fellowship.  That's it for today. It is going to be a full one, so I'm off to start it!

 Have a wonderful day in Christ!

 This is the day that the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Modesty Doesn't Mean Frumpy

Women are addressed directly in God's word to dress modestly. Perhaps some women claim ignorance on this issue, but it is a fact and there is no way around it. In  like manner also , that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with brooded hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array  1 Tim 2:9  While we can't expect heathen women to follow this command, women "professing godliness" certainly should.  Why then do we see so many Christian women dressing themselves and their daughters in varying degrees of immodesty? I see a couple of problems that can hinder a woman who wishes she could dress more modestly, but thinks she just "can't". Most stores don't have modesty as a guiding design principle, so shopping in them can make one feel pidgeon-holed into the latest trends..   Most new clothes sold today have compromising necklines, blouses that cling, and 'everyday' dresses or skirts are hard

How to Get Rid of Anxiety

Have you noticed how much we're hearing about anxiety lately?  Soooo many people are expressing their battle with anxiety. I do not want to be insensitive to anyone's feelings. But I believe that labeling yourself with anxiety just means you don't understand God's immense and deep LOVE for you. Feelings are temporal and they're centered on our perception, senses and thoughts. The good news is that God loves you SOOOO much and did the most amazing thing for you so that you can be FREE from anxiety and fear. Free from guilt and condemnation. Free from sin and free from the power of the Enemy. Jesus said to his disciples, "Let not your heart be troubled." He would never tell them to do something they couldn't do. He understood and acknowledged that in this world they would have trouble. But then he said don't let your heart be troubled. Don't LET it. Don't allow it. How is this possible? Well, trouble and anxiety are a result of inform

Purging and Surging

We have been in our new house now for about 15 months now and it has been a roller coaster ride. We've done so many renovations and it's been quite the challenge living through the chaos that deconstruction brings. The dust, oh the dust!! But during all the work, my husband still works full time. Yes, he's amazing. AMAZING. He's done all the major work by himself, with me and our boys helping wherever we could. I admire his strength, stamina and talent so much. He does everything with integrity. Interestingly, right before we bought this house, we had a last minute hesitation. We felt at such a crossroad. We prayed and chewed over where God was leading us because all of a sudden, we weren't sure we were supposed to continue living in this state at all.  At the time of that conversation, our older son was gone attending a seminar out of state and only my husband and I and our youngest son were there for this talk. We sat at our little kitchen table that day and
