Hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! I hope you all are doing well. Wow, friends, I just need to exhale... do you ever feel that way? The past 6 weeks or so illness has swept through our family; wave after wave. From me taking about 2 weeks to recover and then 1 child, then another... Nothing unmanageable: low grade fevers, cough, congestion...and 1 instance of throwing up from a forceful bout of coughing.... We went to our family dr whom we love. She is primarily holistic in approach and advised what I had thought in the 1st place... time, and rest. Our school day typically starts around 8am. But, one of the blessings of homeschool is THAT flexibility. So the 2 that are sick have been able to sleep until they wake on their own which has been between 9am-10am. Our youngest was doing letter practice work about 2 days ago...and I said, "You look tired, you want to lay down and take a nap for a bit?" He said: "No, I'm fine...." I turned back to check on him and he was asleep. I covered him up and he just took about an hr nap. The "schedule" went out the window. We did school when they felt ok to do it. Some things got pushed to a different day, naps happened as needed, breaks abounded etc. This may not be a big deal to you....but for my personality learning to love flexibility is a learning curve. I can struggle with being regimented even when it's not needed. Because, I function best in an environment of "order." But YHWH is using this homeschool blessing to even teach me it's ok to "let go," embrace the freedom and love the children in their rest and through the tides of life as it ebbs and flows "out of order." This blessing is one I certainly do not take lightly. They would have no such liberty in a standard school setting public or private. This is the blessing of homeschooling them as YHWH has directed/convicted us. Among many benefits we have experienced.... As we roll into Yom Teruah/The Feast of Trumpets & Shabbat we are going to wade into that rest and simply enjoy the: time, celebration, memories, and rejuvenation. How are you with structure and flexibility in: life, relationships, or homeschool? For those who will be celebrating: HAPPY FEAST OF TRUMPETS/YOM TERUAH!!!! Until next time: May Adonai bless and keep you as you: press on pursuing the goal for the reward of the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua. Phil 4:13 *side note DISCLAIMER: I do not receive compensation from ANY of the resources I share or use. They are just resources, curriculum, etc that have blessed our family and may bless yours!* Hello scattered family in Messiah! May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. This journey is but a brief window into the fellowship and intimacy to come...
I hope you had a blessed Shavuot (Pentecost).... these are just a few pictures from our fellowship. We had a blessed time together and it was my parents' 1st Shavuot celebration!! HALLELUYAH! Some of you may know.... I had the privilege of baptizing my dad last yr and so this yr is his 1st year celebrating the Holy Feast Days (Moedim) with us. He attended Passsover earlier this yr and both of my parents came to the Shavuot celebration. Look at YHWH!! I hope all of you had a very joyful and meaningful Shavuot to those who celebrated! Kids Activities: The Messengers DVD, and 10 Commandments craft (I will post the craft at a later time) *For those in the Facebook group or on the public Facebook pg- FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR SHAVUOT PICTURES!

Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! I hope you enjoyed the Festival of Lights (Hanukkah) with family and friends. Here, I am sharing some of the crafts our children have done this year. In addition, they enjoyed watching: Animated Hero Classics Maccabees The Story Of Hanukkah - YouTube <- link For Passover similarly we watch The Prince of Egypt.... But we discussed: Our allegiance is to Messiah before anyone and anything else. The Lord Yeshua Messiah does not want us to believe everything—only the truth (John 14:6). He commands us to love God with all of our heart, our mind, and soul (Matthew 22:37), to know the truth that sets us free by following Him (John 8:31-32) and to make that truth known to others (Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:15). The Apostle Paul commands us to "test all things. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil" (1 Thess 5:21). Rather than letting culture conform us to its mold, we should be transformed through the renewing of our minds so that we know and accomplish God's will in all of life (Romans 12:2) and come out from among them. (2 Cor 6:17) . "You however, keep a clear mind in all things, withstand hardship, do the work of proclaiming the Good News and fulfill your service." (2 Tim 4:5) Hopefully you have enjoyed or been blessed by 1 or more of the Hanukkah posts this season. Blessings and Shalom in the Name of Yeshua Messiah!

We had a Hanukkah cookie day recently with our church family and children! This was an incredibly messy and fun endeavor! Pictures below! :) (snickerdoodle cookies, and sugar cookies) + plenty of icing and sprinkles... Blessings and Shalom in the Name of Yeshua Messiah!

Phil 4:13 Well... hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! I hope the Spring Feasts have been a blessed time of rest and renewal for you and your loved ones, thus far, as we count down to Shavuot (Pentecost)
These are some updated pics of the little "garden babies" red potatoes, kale, green onions, and broccoli are in the green bags. The white buckets were just planted and hold: mini carrots, lettuce, Romaine lettuce, and Vidalia onions. All things that can tolerate these cooler temps. When the weather gets warmer we can broaden our horizons a bit! Those of you that have followed the blog for awhile know that I typically write a minimum of 2-3x a week and I have slowed down significantly recently due to my responsibilities with life and family have been changing/growing. I have a new job, the Spring Feasts came upon us, a final exam for school (Pathophysiology-), sports for the children, leading a ladies Bible Study for our church..... lots of things. My anxiety kicked in and I was really struggling. It was a: trying, tearful, prayerful, frustrating- "I feel like I'm drowning," kind of time. So I needed to get through it. With some TLC, prayer, serious intervention from some sisters in Messiah and a 1x1 with my husband and LOTS OF PRAYER we all kind of talked through some things... The husband and I came up with new plans on how to deal with these issues together, support each other, new communication skills, and most of all sat at the feet of our KING together. Is it all going to be smooth sailing from here? Not likely. *lol* But life never is. But my support system SUPPORTED. From here we (the husband and I) walk one foot in front of the other. I am going to let some things run the course and fall off of my shoulders until I get done with school as well. Working full-time, homeschooling 3 kiddos, sports, and troops, assisting with the back-end of a functioning ministry, leading Bible Study, taking online CPT medical coding school at night and running a household is a full schedule.... I may not be posting as often. I am not really on a "schedule" for that as of now. But I always enjoy touching base with all of you!! Until next time, Blessings and Shalom as you continue to "pursue the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua"-Phil 4:13 |
