A Weighty Story (Part 3)
If you'd like to read the first two posts about how I have reclaimed my pre-pregnancy weight after each of my six children, click here and here. After 10 months, I am finally back down to my pre-pregnancy weight. Hurray! It was quite a battle this time, as I have been dealing with thrush/candida with Michael. I have been on a sugar free diet for almost 3 months now. Not that I really ate sugar much before, but now I can't even have sweet fruits or natural turbinado sugar. Very annoying. Talk about going without chocolate for too long! But as ...
Parental Rights Under Attack
Please make this a serious, fervent matter of prayer and consider supporting. The UN Rights of a Child laws are actively being pushed for here in the US. If we do nothing, the new law of the land will be that of a govermental controled America, where we will NOT have the freedom to teach our children the godly commands of the Bible, will not be able to keep them healthy naturally, and all of our parental decisions will be supervised and vetoed by govermental agencies. This cannot happen. This is a serious attack on the Church of Tomorrow and ...
Healing Oils of the Bible Part 1
After attending another natural health workshop on Essential Oils, I just have to share my newest find. Essential oils have been around for thousands of years. The information here was provided to me by Sonya and Britta, who have been doing an amazing work informing our community of the "medicine cabinet" God provided us. Proverbs 21:20 says, "There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise." Oil is referred to in the Bible 191 times and there are over 600 references to essential oils and/or the 33 species of plants they come from. Everything we could ever have ...
3 Health Killers (Part 1)
So many people want to make a difference in their health, but aren't quite sure where to begin. Why not start with the basics... If there were 3 things you could take out of your pantry to ensure better health, would you do it? Yesterday, I attended a Young Living workshop. It was really good. I learned more than I expected... that's always an added bonus. Before they went into how essential oils can heal your body, they talked about nutrition. It's always good to have a refresher course and the hows and why certain "foods" are causing all kinds of health ...
Children are a Blessing from the Lord
Lately, we have been listening to the Jonathan Park series on creation with our children. The Scripture they keep referring to is, "...and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." (I Peter 3:15) The series is about how science actually supports and proves the creation story in Genesis. It's really quite fascinating; facts I didn't know about and I hope to understand as well as cultivate in my children so they are prepared to give an answer for their beliefs. Anyways, when I go out, I ...

He’s Led Us Here; He’ll Make a Way
I just had to say how incredibly happy I am with my oldest son. He has been having some serious focusing issues with his math. You know the symptoms – can’t stay on task, dwaddling, daydreaming, and the list goes on. I had tried EVERYTHING. We tried the reward system; the encouraging, the consequences, every motivational tactic I could think... [Read more of this review]
Daily Reflections
Thinking through the events of the day outloud really helps me put life into perspective. Sometimes throughout the course of the day, I lose sight of my goal, my vision. Going back over what happened and meditating on the good and the bad helps me regain my focus on Christ and the responsibilities He’s laid out before me. What I liked about today: I...

Protecting the Guilty by Punishing the Innocent
My homeschool group and cloth diapering group have mentioned this legislation before, but I guess I didn’t it much heed until I really read up on it. Here’s the main info from The Book Room blog: It’s my understanding that after February 10, 2009, it will be illegal for Jacobsen Books to sell any “children’s product” unless it...
