Homesteaders Day

Well we did it. We had a wonderful week of learning all about homesteading and how it was in the old days. It was great. I transformed my bedroom into a settlers house and on thursday we had our Homesteaders day. We had no electricity for most of that day and of course we dressed the part. We had some guest as well all dressed for the part. We had a marvelous time. We cooked on the wood stove, bacon & eggs, & fried patatoes for breakfast, Soup and bread for lunch and beans for dinner. We also pulled Taffy and made a candle, We started a braided rag rug. Since we did not use electricity we used candles and a lantern. The kids did their school work on slates and shared their reading assignements. They played marbles, and some other games. It was a wonderful day. But I was sure glad to turn on the lights. and do the dishes in the sink with running water. We had a jolly good time. I will post some pictures in another post.

Knit 1, Purl 2

Well this is my latest knitting project I am so excited I finished this sweater hat & mitts for my precious little girl Grace-Ella. I am so fascinated with knitting these days I just Love it. I am working on a vest for my husband at the moment. It may take me longer because it is made with real wool and I am allergic so I can only work on it for short periods of time. Anyhoo. My night was just wonderful. I went to pottery and had a relaxing evening and was able to spend 2 whole hours creating without interuptions. I had a great time at prayer last night. Boy did the Lord ever get old of me. I can't believe the battle He and I had. I seriously was just torn on "to share or not to share" sometimes I just don't know if things I am praying about are ok to share or not. But Yesterday it was made very clear to me that God wanted to share but I didn't know how to go about it" crazy but I am ever so glad that I did because the enemy sure got a stomping. anyhoo well i guess that is all for now. I will go and Chase after my Hubby.

Here we go again!!

Can't belelive it I just wrote a whole page of stuff and went to do a spell check and it erased it all. Anyway . I had a great time at the party on Sunday and at prayer last night. It was very moving. God really has been speaking to me lately. Anyway. I have spent my day cleaning my kids rooms once again from sorting to moving to decorating, and tonight I go to pottery. Yippee. I hope to create many beatiful things this year. I am so grateful for my awesome teacher. Well I am late to start dinner once again so must run for now. Chow

Incubi, succubi.

So what Have I learned today. Many things too many to put on this here blog, but many things and many things that cannot be shared, Let's just say that I think my marriage bed will be much more interesting. So Clo what do you think of this verse Gene 6:1-4
Genesis 6
The Flood
1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [a] man forever, for he is mortal [b] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Anyway the book that I am reading is saying that the sons of god Were fallen angels who came to take pray on women and made them to bare children. this was before the flood The latin terms for male and female sexual spirits are incubi, and succubi. the book says that they will no longer produce offspings but do result in sexual bondage. I wonder.

I would like to find out more on this subject. well that is all for today my dear talk to you soon.

Discipline;
The Lord gave me this word to look up today .
1 Corinthians 9:27 (New King James Version)
27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

This is an awesome word. I need to become more disciplined I need to really look into what makes me so undisciplined in areas of my life and see how I can work on these things to bring them into accord with the word.

Job 5:17 (New International Version)
17 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.



I keep getting this thought of the Lord: He keeps saying to me don't be a ZIT , now what this means I am not sure. I think it can mean at least two things. 1. It can mean that I should not spew out all my poison onto everyone else. Or 2. I need to let my poison out of me in order to heal and it not fester in me. Any thoughts on this would be great. Anyway This keeps coming up and I believe that this is of vital importance if I can figure out what it means.

Hi everyone Just tought i would get this started as it is the inn thing to do these days. It is my first time doing this and there will be more stuff to come so I hope you come to visit me and I will continue to add to this. Good night and God Bless.
