Asking for Prayer


I am asking all of you to keep me in your prayers. Over the past few months I have been dealing with anger and I know what it is coming from. Since my blessed Little E was born I have not spent enough time in God's word and it is showing. So I am asking for prayer that I would be able to control my anger and be able to get more out of God's word than I am at present. So I wanted to publicly apologize to my children for being an angry mother....which is not what God intended. I need to be joyous in my work. It's not just doing the dishes....or washing the laundry. I am raising three children for the kingdom of our Lord and washing laundry is just a daily task that I have the privilege of doing for them.

I just said a prayer for you and for myself. I think we all have times like this when we need to reflect on our short comings. Confessing them and getting our priorities back in order are two necessary actions. I'm thankful you shared this as it caused me to examine my ownself more closely this afternoon. Blessings!

I will pray for you, my dear friend. This is a major struggle of mine as well. Although mine seems to come when I am in the Bible more. Satan attacks me the closer I get to the Lord. I hate it. I hate having anger in my heart. I hate it when I start yelling and carrying on. I need more of the Holy Spirit's self-control in my life. I will definately be praying for you because I KNOW how much of a challenge this is to keep under control. Thank you for sharing this personal side of you.

I would be glad to pray. My children received many apologies from me when they were little.

I will keep you in my prayers. I have struggled with the same problem before so I understand.
I was just reminded of a book that helped me many years ago. It's called "Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit" by Teri Maxwell. Here is a link...

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa

Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the
