Author Archives: admin Just a few things we did this weekend… Lamb cupcakes for kids dessert… {Soooo…easy and fun for them to make! A large center marshmellow in the center covered in white icing helps the little marshmellows stick. Add pink jelly beans for the ears, chocolate for the hooves and black icing for the eyes and mouth. […] Here is some really cool info for ya! Did you know that according to the Jewish calendar—today…the day many Christians celebrate the resurrection…that Thursday, April 1st was actually Nisan 17…the day according to Jewish calendars when Jesus arose? SO…the actual Passover day on Monday of last week was the Nisan 14 day the day we […] Cool…. like there was no coincidence that you became such an inspiration and amazing woman I call friend?! Yeah….. no coincidence. 😉 Just ordained. Did you get the book on Biblical Holidays from the site you referenced in this post? My daughter’s best friend, who also happens to live next door, is Jewish and this looks like a fun way for us to do life together as Christian and Jew (and hopefully one day all Christian with Jewish heritage!) The Resurrection Matthew 28:1-10 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen and the other Mary went down to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat […] Back in January, we asked many of you to please pray for us that our FDL (Favorable Determination Letter) would arrive from Immigration USCIS after sending in our 161-A form. 3 months later—we are still waiting. Richard went to the USCIS local office (about 30 minutes away) this week—and got the answer that it has […] Praying, Praying, Praying! Ours took about 3 months to get back and I think we were about #10 on the list when we got it. When I talked with AGCI about worrying about its whereabouts they said not to stress until we were in the top 5 and then they have some ways of speeding up the process. My biggest concern was that fingerprints wouldn’t go through. I will definitely keep praying for you guys and this! I would call your congressman’s office – that was one of the options to get it processed quicker. Andrea, I am praying. When we received our referral, we had not even been fingerprinted yet! I am going to e-mail you with some specifics, but I wanted to tell you that we got our FDL TWO WEEKS after fingerprinting!!! Our God can do anything that HE purposes to do. Praying friend! Hope your family has a wonderful Easter celebration. praying.praying.praying! Praying big things! Praying for you guys and that the timing works out perfectly! Praying for God’s perfect timing… and for His peace while you wait. (and girl, I understand… patience is SO not my virtue either) 🙂  Don’t you love it when you are doing consistent Bible study…and each day’s reading seems to so perfectly align with what you are currently learning in your life?! That seems to happen so often for me—and today was another one of those days! Some things on my heart today…and maybe yours too… No matter how […] I really need to read that book. Whining has been a big struggle with my little boy lately, and I have come to my whit’s end more than once! Great post! My hubby and a group of men have used this book and designed their own “Knight Training” and system starting the boys at age 7. It is such a blessing! Just today we were talking about being a Page and behavior that meets that standard! Page, squire, knight. Sounds like chaos was the understatement of your morning, although I did enjoy the chuckle. Glad every one had limbs attached and breathing by the time your day was done. =) Have a peaceful evening. We love that book at this house… and I just picked up “Raising a Modern Day Princess” for the wee-est one. My husband has structured many “warrior training” excursions for our boys around the book’s principles. 🙂 My dear Andrea! I just relived my days like the one you just described! You are doing such a wonderful job of rearing young warriors! As our sons were coming along, my goal was to bring them to maturity without permanently damaging one another! They have turned out to be awesome Christian men…still doing dangerous things, I might add. Your comments about the need for warriors is so “right on.” Women are stressing themselves out with battles they were never meant to fight. Praise God for young warrior mothers who are training sons to assume their rightful role that God intended. Keep on fighting; it’s worth every moment! I love you! |
