Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
8 A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.

18 Years Ago

18 Years Ago

January 7, 1993, I gave birth to our first child. A beautiful baby boy. He came into this world and brought much joy to this young mother. Now, 18 years later, he is still bringing joy to my life. He has grown into a very intelligent and handsome young man. I am so very proud of him. I am looking forward to spending many more birthdays with him.

Son, I just want you to know that I love you very much.
Michael is enjoying his birthday cake with his brother and sisters.
Since we moved to the mountains, it has snowed on his birthday every year.
More pictures of him and his siblings.  I am very blessed that they love each other and get along so well.

3 in 30 – week 1

3 in 30 – week 1

Today is the end of the first week and time for us to check in on how we did with our goals.
I have listed my goals once again and will put in my response in another color at the end of the questions. So here we go!

1. I want to be more grounded in my faith and what I believe, so when asked, I can share my love of Jesus without wavering. So that means daily prayer and studying the word of God. I did really well with this. I read my bible daily and definitely said many prayers throughout the week.

2. I want to get back into making cards. My goal is to make at least 1 card a week, whether it be for birthdays, anniversaries or just for words of encouragement. I have not accomplished this yet, but Friday isn’t over either! LOL i do have all of the stuff out that I will be using, I just need to sit down at the table and get it made. I even know how I am going to make it. I will post a picture next week of my cards.

3. To get back to a healthier lifestyle. This means, to track what I eat daily, drink more water/less caffeine, and to exercise at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. I was half and half on this goal. While I did really well watching what i ate and drinking my water, I did not write down daily what I ate. Also, due to a fibromyalgia flare-up, I have been unable to exercise like I have wanted. It has taken all I can do to actually move over the last few days. I am feeling better today and hope to get in a 30 minute walk.

4. To blog more about what I believe in and to share what I love the most. That would be my love for Jesus, homeschooling my children, taking pictures of our life and sharing recipes that have been handed down from parents and grandparents. I have not done this to the best of my ability either. I did get my Multitude Monday written, as well as my iFellowship Day post written. Other than that, I haven’t written much this week. I need to make a set time to where I can sit down and just focus on what I want to share. So this will take more work as well.

Over all, I think I did okay for this being my first week. I still have 3 more weeks to go and I know I will see some improvements by the end of the month.

Stop by Ashley and Meghan’s to see how everyone else is doing. Show some love and encouragement. It will go a long way in to helping others reach their goals!
