Okay....

Let's see if I can get this posted. It's amazing as I look back at what I posted on Monday. I posted that God is good...all the time. Shortly after I posted this I got a phone call from Beloved. He was laid off. NCI cut 40% of the employees (which was already down to a skeleton staff). So please keep our family in your prayers as we move through yet another transition in our lives.

Aww darlin,
God knew this before it happened. I know the feeling. Guess what! Our awesome God KNEW this was going to happen before hand and He will supply the needs as they come up. I have watched God supply the needs for my own family. He is so awesome! Isn't He wonderful!

I linked here from another homesteading blog... and feel led to share this. About 2 years ago, my husband was 'let go' from his job. His time spent looking for new employment was 11 months. It was amazing how we found the strength and courage for each new day (and I recommend taking it a day at the time. Our frugal living and savings had made us able to keep going and to tighten down more than others might have.
We learned amazing things about every member of our family as we stepped up to the challenge that God allowed to happen in our lives. We found blessings in our troubles, more than we ever knew we could. I'll remember your family in my prayers.

Melanie I am so sorry to hear about the job loss, your family has been and will continue to be in my prayers. I will say that God is the Great provider. Steven lost his job over the summer and we dealt with some serious financial difficulties and it really taught us alot. We didn't always have everything we WANTED but we had everything that was NEEDED. God provided for us through this tough time. Steven is now starting a new job making more money than he was. This is all thanks to God and us trusting Him. I believe He will do the same for y'all. Hang in there. I know it's hard.

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...

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! 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...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. 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...
