Hope Continually -- Psalm 71:14

Thank you for stopping by my blog this week!  I love new weeks - fresh starts.  I hope you have a wonderful week as well! Our week started differently than it has in many months.  Since last August when we started the school year, we have done our school day at our church from 8:30am-2pm.  We would do school and I also would do things around the church to help my husband.  This past week, I made a decision to move back to our home to finish out the year.  I really need a break from the church scene.  That is basically all.  We do great with the schedule and procedures at the church.  I actually enjoyed doing school away from the house - kind of a separate time and place.  It really went smooth and well all these months.  But sometimes, you need to refresh your spirit.  Get away from the work aspect of the church scene and refocus on the relationship aspect. All that to say, today was the first day schooling at...

Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio.  My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online  HERE  or download the free app for your smartphone.  I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge! Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk.  Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :) There are many days in my life that I wonder…is this really all I was meant to do?  Come on now, all you moms out there ask yourself the same thing and more than once! We go through life frustrated looking for the will of God thinking it should look different than it does. You may say...what is happening in my life right now is not the will of God. How do you know?   What does the will of God look like then? Our journey is not to find the "will of God" but to find   PURPOSE   in the "will of God"! ...

I thought I would share a recipe from my Grandma Holt who is in Heaven.  I miss her but I cherish memories she left behind. Chow Mein Candy 1/2 cup chow mein noodles 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup peanut butter Mix together.  Form into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).  Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake at 300 degrees for 5 minutes. Do not overbake! Enjoy!

Thank you for stopping by my blog!  Every week I share about my week - just my normal life.  I hope you enjoy.  Thank you! My week began with a simply gorgeous sunrise!  I love beautiful mornings. :)  My husband was off to Carson City for the day to take his CCW class.  I didn't have any kids to babysit this day-my plan was to do school as normal but I don't have the chance to just take a day off just with my kids.  We always seem to have other kids.  So I made the decision to take off. I enjoyed my Bible plan and my Scripture writing.  Shower and wash my bedding.  A slower morning. We first headed to Galena where I had one photo job to do.  Aren't the Sierras gorgeous?  After that quick job, we went to a small trail that is nearby.  If we went too far up the mountain, we would have hit too much snow.  There was some snow on the trail but not too much! It just smelled so good - everyth...
