Torah Life

Will you love me anyway?

Tonight we were sitting at home resting watching Facing the Giants one of our favorite movies,  The main character asked his wife "if GOD never gives us children whould you still love him?"  For some reason that really spoke to me tonight and I asked that question of myself ~If God asked me if your husband is stuck in this job and you never get out would you still love Him? If He never again has his own ministry and He never USES you again in ministry would you still love HIM? Yes.  as fustrated as I have been this year He has still blessed us and I have nothing to feel  lacking in my life. I have a wonderful Husband who love GOD and loves me, wonderful Children that GOD has intrusted in my care and amazes me with every day, a roof over my head, food on my table, people around me that if I needed them they would be there for me, what more should I want? If that is all GOD wants of me that is enough. 

as we end the Gagorian Year I ask myself what do I want to strive for in myself this year..... the answer simply is that I don't want to worry about what I WANT I want to think about what HE wants from me. 

HE has called to be to be HIS CHILD, a WIFE, A mother, A teacher, A singer and a keeper of the home and I need to focus on those things first and formost. 

AND IF and WHEN  HE wants more from me I will be ready to answer HIS CALL. 

Pro_31:28  Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her: 

Psa_27:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

 

the final question is will I be content with his will in my life? 

I hope this speaks to you who read this too in some way!!!

Shalom.

 

ALL GIRL MOVIE NIGHT......

Our first anual ( we hope) ALL GIRL Movie night!!! First movie we watched was the Help.

Reviews for the movie: Pretty good, not ok for my girls to watch but not a horriable movie.

the ladies had a blast though!!! OH SO
MUCH FUN!!! 

Thank you Naura for putting this great night I had so much fun!!!!

So far so good.....

As of late we have had some issues with the girls and there chores. Common I know but so frustrating so we came up with something new....

The 2 jars with  there names on it has there Chores in it and every day at the end of the day they pull there chores out...

 

then they write it on there own small white boards this way they have a list and they can mark it off themselves

 

Then for everything on there school list or there chores they get a marble in there pail.  they can use  there marbles to play on the wii, on the laptop, watch a movie  or play outside. 

we started this on Monday and it went well, and today went well also, Tyna and Katie have learned to Trade chores so that  they don't get the same ones every day since they drew the same ones 2 days in a row.  I know it is a new thing and so it may not last but if it helps me right now get this stuff done I am all for it.

 The fighting has gone down the past few days and they even made me dinner tonight!!!!

In other news......

Joe has Passed all his tests for Mohave county sheriff department we now have to wait for a phone call to tell us when he can start the training,  The training is 18 weeks and it is in Havasu so no husband for those weeks just the weekends.  this will most likely mean a move as early as this upcoming summer for us.  Not looking forward to that!!!

I am so proud of him. he worked so hard for this and God has just blessed us with this opportunity. And even if it is a hardship for awhile I know that the Father is looking out for us and will keep us safe.

 

Thanksgiving prep this week....

MY MOM is coming for thanksgiving!!! YAY!!!! with mom coming for thanksgiving means some prep work!!!  Mom has some major allergie issues so it is good to make sure I cut down on that before she comes, some stuff can't be done before next week but anything I can get done early needs to be.....

Today's list is:

• zucchini bread
• pumpkin bread 
• fridge ( not because of mom just because of all the food that we will need to put in there)
• thanksgiving serving dishes
• pantry checklist ( make sure we have everything cause I am only going to the store 1 time before they come or at least that is the plan)
• ALL BED ROOMS ( again not for mom on that one Jackie and are getting over something and Joe is not feeling good today so It is good to Deep Clean the bedrooms, wash door handles and scrub the floors with amona) 
• Dinner tonight is leftovers and for Jackie chickensoup
• if time I want to get the cookies done that we were suppossed to have done last week.  

not to bad of a list for Monday  also as much laundry as I can get done.  

should be a fun day but worth it in the long run!!!

the perfect recipe for a monday

Good Music this is Joe's uncle pat's new record really good we all loved it!!!! check out his Facebook page to hear his music !!!!

Lavish bread pizzas ( one of our family's favorite) Thank you Bud and Rae for surprising us with Lavish bread  on monday morning!!!

and a wonderful family working together to make dinner lots of fun!!!!!

While Joe is out hunting weekend 1

 Joe will be spending ANY free time away hunting for elk this month I am praying that he get his elk this comming friday MORNING!!!!! PLEASE be praying with me!!!!

while Joe is gone it makes it hard on all of us girls here left at home so we have been coming up with some very interesting ways of passing the time.

Day 4 - Day 7 of thankful

Day 4 of being thankful: I am thankful that I have been blessed with wonderful parents who have loved me and supported me, always making me aware of the importance of a relationship with GOD. I would not be where I am today with out them.

Day 5 of being thankful: So thankful for Friday night sundowns........ It is so nice to know that I don't have to work today and I get to spend time with my girls in the word!!!

Day 6: I am thankful for a wonderful place to live, my house is so cozy and I thank God for blessing us with this house!!! 

Thankful day 7: I am so thankful for new life that GOD has blessed us with..... Congratulations Rachel, Drew and big sister Roslyn on the new addition to your family Vivienne  Claire. truly a blessing for GOD!!!!!

 

 

Day 3 and the flip

Day 3 : I praise you YHVH my Elohim for the blessing of giving me each of my children, each of them special adding so much love and joy to my life and my house!!!! YOU are awesome in your plan for my life, you have blessed me with a purpose and you have trusted me with these lives. Thank you for each of the girls, who are so precious to me!!!

 

today we have flipped flopped things, out of necessity, Joe is leaving tonight for hunting ( PLEASE FATHER HELP HIM GET THE ELK THIS WEEKEND TOMORROW WOULD BE BEST)  I have to get him packed up and ready to go and  get the house clean so we will not be doing school today so that we can get everything else done. and we will be doing school tomorrow.  as most of you know we take Friday to clean and get all our school work done Monday - thursday but we need to get Joe out the door so I think it is pointless to try to get school done and get him out so we will just get His stuff done then get our stuff done. all of that to say that I am not happy about not doing school but I am trying to keep myself accountable for doing it tomorrow.

 

Also in other news, some change has come across my household that I must say is hard but I see where it is right for our family. Ministry is something that YHVH has called us to many years ago but in everything there is a season....... we will be taking a break from all ministry for a time focusing on OUR family and it's relationship with the Father.  Since Sukkot and our failer we have come to realize that we have taken too much  focus on others and not enough focus on our household.  Our focus should always be to the father first coming from our family then leading others. I personally feel that we have not done enough for our family's walk and YHVH is using situations to bring our focus back to where it needs to be, so at least for the MONTH of november we will be staying home working with the girls and focusing on more time in Family study and prayer.  I will let you all know how it is going.

 

thankful day 1 & 2 and how did Turkey Tuesday go.....

Thankful day 1: YHVH my Elohim!!!! who loved me so much that He sent his only son to die for my sins, HE chose me for this path, bringing me along and teaching me HIS instruction for my life. I praise YHVH for HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, HIS LOVE and HIS SHALOM!!!

 

Day 2 of being thankful: I am thankful for a wonderful Husband and father, a man who loves and serves GOD with all His heart. who Loves me and is an amazing wonderful father to our children. I am so proud of being his wife for the past 13 years and look forward to 95+ more

 

SO how did yesterday go? well we didn't get everything done but we got most of it done. Including our TURKEY

the girls colored this together choosing the colors cutting it out and taping it!!! perfect craft to start NOV.

today we are taking it easy since I was up all last night with allergie problems thanks to the 90 mile wind. we will be doing math, reading and bible, History today though was from the story of the Mayflower by Charles Shultz. Yep that is right SNOOPY!!!

also I have to share this cause they are SO CUTE, Kat got done with her reading early so she helped abby with hers. 

I love it when they help each other!!!

SHALOM!!!

NO Halloween

As most of you know we don't have anything to do with halloween. And if you know me at all you know why. does that mean that I think those who celebrate are going to hell? NO. It is just something that we don't do in our house cause we don't think it is Glorifing to YHVH (GOD).

SO the question came to me what do we do today to glorify YHVH?

I think it is so important especially on a day which celebrates things that are not pleasing to YHVH to do something for YHVH a friend shared this post with me on what there family does.  she has a good point !!! so this year me and the girls will probably do something simalar in our home. Joe noramally goes out witnessing so I don't think he will be home but me and the girls can worship and pray before the sun goes down for the people out there.  we also put out our sign to make sure no one knocks on our door but we added some verses to it. 

Josh 24:15 and 2Cor 6:14
