In this day and age of the so called "liberated woman" in which women feel they must be set free from some imaginary "trap" I feel as though I am truly liberated! Being a wife and mother is the highest calling a woman can fulfill. How freeing that calling truly is. I am a homeschool mom and stay at home wife. I love the close fellowship with my children and husband and quiet solace that homeschooling and homemaking brings to my heart. Being a stay at home wife is a much forgotten art today. What a blessing it is to be able to make our home a haven where the Peace of God abounds. Ahhhh.....sitting down with a good cup of coffee listening to wonderful music with kindred spirits like my daughters and my dear husband.....now that's life! Everyday is a gift, a journal page if you will. What will you compose?

My theme song is "Hats" by Amy Grant... I've been married to my honey for 24 years.. We have a married daughter (21) & 2 grandchildren. We also have 11 & 8yo daughters at home along with a special needs 6yo son. DH & I are tentmaking missionaries in Japan. I homeschool, teach conversational English classes, do all the mommy stuff and make all the PT/OT/ hospital runs with our son. And just so I'm not too bored... there are outreach events and kid's club.

Wife to 1, Mom to 4, learning along my journey, walking through faith, falling on my face in grief, relying upon the only One who can make a difference.

A disorganized homemaker in word, thought and deed. This blog is one way to sort it all out! Living in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia my husband of 25 years and I have been blessed with four incredible kids, added to our family by the equally miraculous means of birth and adoption. God has been very generous with us in many ways, but mostly by the costly death of Christ on the cross which bought our redemption. We thank God for the power of the resurrection that gives us the great hope for an eternity with Him.

I am a 30-something mom, going on my 15th anniversary in May with my dear, only-ever husband. We have 7 wonderful kids ranging in ages of newborn twins to 14; six girls, one boy! I'm a SAHM and try to find ways to make meals from scratch, save pennies all the time, and find learning chances wherever and whenever I can to fulfill our education in (homeschoolers!). And I've saved the best for last, I'm a believer and lover of Jesus Christ, thus I am a Christian, although the way of this world now sees that word as such an easy label to press on. I'm a true one.
