"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~Charles Spurgeon

STAR Testing

Remember the Standardized Testing and Reporting (a.k.a. STAR) Test?  I do!  This year was ALW's first year taking it.  I was a nervous reck!  But my sweet son, calm as can be reminds me, "Whatever happens, God allowed it. Right mom?"

Thanks, bud!

New Blogs

Children of all ages love to create, my children are no exception. With my little ones creating so many different kinds drawings and such, I had a hard time trying to keep them on file. Not to mention all the milestones, quotes, happenings throughout the day. When I saw another friend of mine create a blog for his little guy, I thought, what a great idea!

I originally I wanted to make scrapbooks for all the kids but the more kids I had, the harder it got. I felt so awful when CL would constantly ask where her scrapbook was... *OUCH*! So these blogs will take place of their scrapbooks. Lord willing I'll be able to update these puppies often.

So far I've only been able to start on the girls blogs.

You can visit CL by clicking on her picture to the right or click here: A Little Bit of Coco

To visit MJ, click on her picture to the right or click here: A Little Bit of Sunshine

Young Padawan's is still under construction!

Their blogs will be set to private soon so if you are interested in following up on the happenings of the kids, contact me and I'l make sure you're on "the list".

Updates coming soon

I promise! I have a few "drafts" almost ready to post. It's been crazy busy here, as usual. But I promise, I'll be posting soon!


Psalm 116: 1-9

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
