Alot has changed..including my mind

Wow. It's been over a year since the last time I blogged. I think video blogging might be a better choice for me. I am never without an opinion on something or new information...
I just don't like writing! It wasn't always like that. I used to write, a lot when I was a child and teenager.
I am not sure, but I think blogger .com allows video embedding, so I may start doing that.
Just wanted to check in, and say that I will try to blog more.
As for an update; we have moved, AGAIN! I am a full time homemaker, stay-at-home mom, and home school teacher. Yes, yes Ya'll!...lol. God works out His Will always on time(His time).

I think I have finally decided...

sigh...can't wait for next year. We will all be happy and friends again. We should throw an internet "post-election" blog party or something :).
James and I have decided, barring any biblical reasons for exclusion, to vote for Chuck Baldwin. We understand that just like us, no one is perfect. But is was a family decision and I am grateful. There were times were we favored two different parties-not fun...lol
Did anyone see Voddie Baucham on CNN the other day. I caught it on Youtube. I was impressed. Even more impressed that the majority, if not all, of the conversation was kept civil. I rarely watch the news anymore, so I was surprised that CNN didn't try to spin, and make the pastor a fall guy or token...cool.
Another CNN youtube that I enjoyed was this one.

While, I don't agree with everything he said 100%, it basically expressed my political sentiments.

We attend a calvary chapel church here in NC, and are studying the book of Galatians. Verse-by-verse. I have been a Christian since 1998, and am ashamed to say, that I have never meditated on these scriptures; just memorized the ones we have made a little cliche, and you enjoy being able to repeat and feel smart...lol...God is really using the letter and the current events to speak to me about his urgency for people to hear and the Gospel. Praise Him.

...happy reading?

With all the latest political happenings and manueverings(sp, really), I have just about worn myself out reading blogs.
I even forgot to post my Wordless Wednesday picture:
This is where all the magic happens...well all the away from home magic, that is...

I don't think I will lose any sleep if I never here the words Obama/Biden MacCain/Palin again. All the babel still hasn't given me any confidence to vote for them this election.
I have enjoyed listening to mostly worship music this week. Also studying Revelations with study notes from KHouse.org

Having Patience

Yesterday while James and I were unpacking and organizing some things, I mentioned to him that I had found my keys. They had gone missing the day before. My five year old was listening(as always) and jumped into the room. She put her hands on her hips and with a child's scowl look on her face said, "Mama! I hid your keys so you wouldn't have to go to work!". Ah, the anguish in my heart. I wonder what she made out of my facial expression, because I had no words at the moment. She was hurt that I found the keys and that is why I left for work the other day(I had used daddy's). So I quickly repremanded her for stealing and hiding things from us and she went back to playing. James was in the room the whole time, but was silent. After 12 years of marriage, he knows me, and I was a water keg about to burst..but I didn't. So when he left the room, I called Big girl in and gave her and baby girl a big hug and kiss, and told them I loved them, and hopefully I will be home soon.

I always make sure my children are not around when I talk to husband about coming home from the workplace, but maybe she has eavesdropped on some of our talks. Either way, she is as desperate for me to stop working outside the home as I am.
I know some would suggest getting her more outside activities to do during the day to distract her and take her mind off of the fact that she misses me, but that is just creepy to me.

So I was feeling sorry for myself and my decision to not put her in government school, when as always, the Lord gives me some encouragement. Here's a portion of an email I received from my aunt. She was replying back to me. I had forgot I have written her.

When it comes to home schooling you really would have to have worked in the public system and the private system to see its value. I have worked public and I have worked private. The only reason I am in the public system is the money. Van still works in the private/public system. #1 priority is to join a home schooling group and a home schooling university. You can find them online. You can find the closest ones in your community.
I don't personally think that is the #1 priority, but it does seem important to do

The best way to set the family at ease is test scores. I am sure you are smart enougn to get the job done. Get as much knowledge as possible before you really start...Remember, while you set-up your system and finalize it, some things you will have to keep to yourself and share only with James.

It might not seem like much, but it was just the thing I needed to remind me of why I am doing what I am doing. So, I am trying to be patient with my situation at work just in case my Big girl is still eavesdropping...

Things that make me smile...

"...I am tagging Lisa @ My Surviving Thoughts. Maybe that will get her to post more than twice a month. (I mean, what does she have to do besides raise kids, keep house, go to work, and get settled in her new house? Sheesh!)..."
Haha, thanks for the tag Brenda

Here is my list, in no specific order:

• Receiving emails from my sis during work hours
  My husband's smile
  The thought of finally getting to fill out the NC intent to home school form
  Thoughts on the kindness of friends and strangers we've encountered
  Hearing my children sing throughout the house(even my 1yr old grunts out a tune now and then)
  Watching my baby boy run. It's the cutest thing watching those little legs scuttle.
  The part in the story of Joseph where he reveals his identity to his brothers(classic)
  Banana Pudding(shivers)
  Autum colors on tree leaves
  Listening to my girls play and use there imaginations( someone is either a princess, a baby, a dragon, or a mommie, oh and sometimes Ms. Hannagan from Annie if they pull me into it)
  

I am tagging Ms. Asia, who is very busy also(with college). We are praying for you sis.
