Interests: I love the fresh air and sunshine. We are blessed with here in this state. Taking walks and listening to the birds sing, watching butterflies and hummingbirds. Looking at the beautiful mountains every morning. My mother taught me to paint, although I am not a natural. She also taught me to cook. My grandmother taught me to bake, yet I seem to burn things alot???? I am learning to sew. The main phrase is learning. Yet, I am very interested in the lost art of homemaking and being feminine. Where did that art go???:) Learning to help my husband. Finding new ways to communicate and love him, in ways that speak to him. Hard for a girl raised in the "me" generation.
Reading my Bible is a joy but I am no expert.
Expertise: That is up to Jesus and His giftings--To be made perfect in my weaknesses.

A few more reason:
Where else can you play "cats" with tails made from scarves?
A cat with cowboy boots and a sucker?
Or when misbehaving---- release that energy.
Supervision.
Run faster.
No one can resist the drama.

I hope that it is helpful to you.
Building up our home is done in many ways. We can cook, clean and organize until our heads our spinning but literally 'tear down' our homes with the way we communicate making all our other 'building efforts' in vain. We communicate three major ways:
1. Verbally
2. Body language (example: rolling eyes, folded arms)
3. Tone of voice
We can inspire our families to change the world or tear them down in a heartbeat if we are not carefully choosing our words--just as the verse says:
"The tongue holds the power of life and death."-Proverbs 18:21
Are we bringing life to our homes or death? Are we slashing our husband to pieces with our words and screaming at our little children (who are probably unsaved and need the Lord?)
WORDS
A careless word may kindle strife.
A cruel word may wreck a life.
A brutal world may smite and kill.
A gracious word may smooth the way.
A joyous word may light the day.
A timely word may lessen stress.
A loving word may heal and bless.
We are always building up our homes or tearing it down. Let's purposefully use our words to BUILD. A word that is timely can plant a seed that can be used powerfully to change the world one day---to change lives, to help save the lost.
BUILD up and respect husbands who will stand in the forefront of battle for the kingdom of God.
BUILD up children who will one day be an army for Him, who will lead the future for Him.
BUILD up extended family who need to see his love, grace and mercy.
BUILD up a neighborhood that will see Christs light in the dark, wicked world and find hope.
And ultimately...
BUILD up a world where the prisoners are set free, the shackles are loosened, and there is new life through Jesus Christ and his His healing, powerful Word.

Discerning the Will of God
The primary condition for learning what God wants of us is putting ourselves wholly at his disposal. It is just here that we are often blocked. We hold certain reservations about how far we are willing to go, what we will or will not do, how much God can have of us or of what we treasure. Then we pray for guidance. It will not work. We must begin by laying it all down--ourselves, our treasures, our destiny. Then we are in a position to think with renewed minds and act with a transformed nature. The withholding of any part of ourselves is the same as saying, "Thy will be done up to a point, mine from there on."
Paul gives four important steps to discerning the will of God:
1. "Offer your very selves to Him,"
2. "Adapt yourselves no longer to the pattern of this present world."
3. "Let your minds be remade."
4. "Your whole nature transformed."
"Then you will be able to discern the will of God" (Rom 12:1,2 NEB).
This is an area that seems very hard for people to relingiush to God's Soveriegn will-----
........"First of all, I would love to be able to sit down with them across the table and do for them what someone did for us, which is simply to challenge us to pick up God's Word, putting aside what we know in our culture, but to simply get to the truth of God’s Word and say, “What does God say about this area?”

| Of Tomatoes and Squirrel.
Happy 4th of July!
Daughter is holding a tomatoe from our harvest. Unfortunately they were being enjoyed by the local squirrel. He munched on about 15 of them before we set a trap.
We set him free about 10 miles away yesterday. Forgot to get a picture!

| Some thoughts of greatness.
We are very much enjoying reading from "The King's Daughter". I purchased it to read to my daughters..............
 but am using it as a devotional. There as so many concepts that are not taught in such depth today. In my youth I did not learn them. I would encourage any who wants is willing to be more beautiful and noble in character to consider this book to read to their children.
"There is no security of happiness in earthly advantage. Only take care to be in yourself what in your circumstances is noble and beautiful and good, and you will find the right position without any particular seeking."
Half the personal ill-feeling in the world comes of people's aspiring to what they have no fitness for; they have neither the dignity nor the humility to take the place God in His providence assigns them; and instead of reaching out of it by making themselves nobler and better, they attempt to build up some appearance which is not more than half true."
The King's Daughter by J.E. White page 62 of Anna's Difficulties.
