Seaside Tales
2008-02-25 09:31:00 My new personal blog, Everyday Me...Seaside Tales , is up for your viewing pleasure. Please change your RSS feeds and update your favorites to reflect the new address. One of these days, when funds are more abundant and God's work is in less need of funds, we will spend the money on a domain... there just always seems something better to put the money to use for at the moment! P.S. In case you are wondering about the name ~ we are moving to the coast soon and seaside tales just seemed appropriate as we will again be living by the ocean and I always share the tales of our life ;-)
No new blog yet but some great links to share...
2008-02-14 16:12:00 I have been busy and didn't get to set up my new blog or finish archiving this one yet. Mostly I have the html for the pages done but I've been to busy to load them up. I have my graphics almost ready for the new site (seaside tales) but I've just been busy. We had a bunch of small earthquakes close enough for us to feel them (which is VERY unusual) and I guess they were leading up to the 6.4 that happened in Mexico on Monday night/Tuesday morning. We are getting ready to move and so we've been busy with that stuff plus Oma got to come for a visit so Tuesday we drove to pick her up. We are going to Lake Havasu this weekend so its doubtful I'll get the new blog up and running before next week. Anyway, there are two things I DID want to share though! I have emailed a lot of you already about the homeschool lounge (or left blog comments about it) but thought I'd share here too. So, if you homeschool, and want to join just click on the banner.

James 1:26
2008-02-09 06:08:00 James 1:26 has been my tagline on my profile at CMOMB for a while now. I abhor gossip. I abhor liars. I have been deeply hurt in situations with both and my answer now is to just ignore completely because when I have tried to confront it God is not edified at all. I am a very emotional person and my own actions in trying to pour out my heart and make people understand the hurt they are causing ends up being read wrong and so God isn't edified in that either. I was reading through my feeds tonight and I saw this post over at CWO and wanted to share. It really spoke again to my heart.

Heart of the Matter -- February Edition
2008-02-08 16:03:00 The February edition of the Heart of the Matter online homeschooling magazine is up!! I have two articles this month. There is my regular feature A Square Peg as well as an article for helping military families who homeschool. The magazine is even available for pdf download this month! How cool is that?! Please take a look and remember to leave comments to encourage ALL of the great ladies who are volunteering to put this magazine together ;-) My husband and I have been able to work out a good schedule for the PTSD radio show and will be participating in that in mid-March. If you'd like to listen in, please email me and I will give you all the details of when and where. I am working on the last of my archives from Life As It Happens as well as trying to set up a new blog for myself. The new one will still be Everyday Me but the tag line will be seaside tales now instead of life as it happens or blahblahblog. It seemed an appropriate name since we are moving...

I'm having a contest -- you can win a DVD from VISION FORUM!!!
2008-01-05 06:20:00 Vision Forum is giving its affiliates the opportunity to have a contest and they supply the prize, shipping, etc.. How great is that for me, and for you?! My husband and I absolutely loved the DVD The League of Grateful Sons and so that is the item we have chosen to give away. This documentary was shot on location in Iwo Jima and it brought together the sons and fathers of WW II. These warriors are now in their 80's and returned to Iwo Jima to be mentors of what real Christian manhood looks like. These aged warriors share their love of Christ, and family, and country with a new generation that has risen up to honor their legacy! Some of these young sons never got to meet their father but have love letters from them as a lasting memento and a living legacy of what it meant to be a warrior and a man of God. I'm excited to offer it to you for free!! Click here to open a trailer that you can watch in a new window. So, for the contest, here is what you need to do. C... More About: Contest , Vision

Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 "Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

Perception
2007-12-18 15:49:00 Many times we see things that are happening around us and from our standpoint we think we know pretty well what is going on. The truth of the matter, though, is we only have a human eye. God has the ultimate perception of everything and sees the complete story. We were talking about Noah's ark on Sunday and again yesterday and though a bit different in context, it completely relates to what I've been thinking about lately. Why did God give specific directions to Noah for the size of the ark? I think it is because of perception. Undoubtedly Noah had seen a boat before and undoubtedly he knew there were lots of animals so he could build a boat big enough, right? No! Noah only knew what he had seen with his human eyes. God gave Noah perfect dimensions for the ark because He knew perfectly what was needed to fit all of his creation that he wished to save from the flood. How many times do we think we know the whole story? How many times do we make judgment calls based on what we think ... More About: Perception

And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever.

Advent Day 14 -- 2 Samuel 5: 1-5 -- a shepherd becomes King
2007-12-15 16:00:00 1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, "Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. 2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD said to you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.'" 3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel. 4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.Tags: Jesse Tree Ornaments, 2 Samuel 5: 1-5, shepherd, King David More About: Advent
Please Pray for Calvary Orphanage in the Philippines
2007-12-15 02:59:00 I get email updates from the orphanage that I visited at during my mission trip to the Philippines . These kids are so smart and the orphanage is self sustaining... they filter their own water, they raise crops of rice, have water buffalo, run their own school, etc.. The have been facing this huge battle for several months though and I want to ask you to pray. They rescued some girls from off the street who had been raped repeatedly by "mafia" types and are now working with the local prosecutors to try and bring justice to these perverts. They are facing about 100 counts of rapes against minors right now and that's the easy stuff. The orphanage/school is constantly under attack and they have to try and separate the good cops from the bad cops as they don't know who is corrupt and who isn't. Here is a prayer list I received tonight.. Please join me in praying for relief from this spiritual oppression they are facing! 1) Pray for a good lawyer to help to adv...

Deborah you weren't alone in requesting it and so I will go ahead and put my chat box this weekend if I get a chance. The doc appointment went about as well as expected and I have a referral for some more tests and ultrasounds after the first of the year. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for a call within the next few days about some tests that happened yesterday. I'm sure I'll be blogging about it all eventually...LOL.. More About: Emails 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
