Happy Spring:)

Oh my…I almost forgot I had a blog;). I’ve been busy schooling the kiddos–full days over here…and doing my best to run this race well. Most days it seems this mommma is completely wiped before the sun even goes down—and my days are filled with little things (I mean very important things) like exchanging a […]

your top purple flower is a clemantis…and i bet it climbs your mailbox!

All in a day’s work… {the farm + egg hunt}

Sooo…we started our day by loading up the mini-van…just me and 5 kids {added my best friend’s son to our crew last night for a boys slumber party} and we took off to Tanglewood Farm. It wasn’t just me and my crew of 5…I met up with 2 other of my dearest mommy friends. And […]

sounds and looks like such a fun day!!! cracking up at the llama snacking on some puffs! haha

What little boys and girls are made of…

I grew up with two sisters. One just 14 months older than me–and one three years younger. Can you guess which one is me??? We played Barbies, curled our hair and danced 24-7 whether we were any good or not. We would play wedding–where one of us would marry Luke–and another would marry Duke. OR […]

I love your days…..they remind me a lot of mine! I too wouldn’t trade them for anything!!!!

Growing up – I had 2 brothers…so yep toads, caterpillars, and all those things.

Loved this post. So reminded of my life. I grew up with one sister in an all girl house! And now, I have one daughter growing up with four big brothers. On Monday, Lucy insisted on taking her weekend collection of “rolly pollies” to school. Too cute! At least I hope her Kindergarten teacher thought so!

The Colors in my Basket…

One of my FAVORITE preschool children’s books for Easter time is “My Easter Basket: And the real story of Easter“. It links the colors of eggs in your basket to the Easter story as each color represents a part of the story. As one of the “party moms” in Isaac’s 2 year old preschool class […]

I am loving the Easter egg idea, awesome! I will keep your health in my prayers!

Rory - March 29, 2012 - 1:48 pm

Haven’t stopped praying. Believing every need will be supplied with more to spare…kinda like the little boy and the lunch which fed the 5,000…you never feel like it’s enough but everyday God will multiply and those around you will be fed.

He already is doing that with everything your hand touches.
Know that when you’re too tired to fight, when you’re drained and can’t seem to find even the right words to pray, He is waking intercessors in the night–all over the world–to lift you up because you’re THAT important to him. Not only people that know you by name and face, but God can burden the heart of a man in India in the night to pray for you even though you’ve never met. He can show your face in a vision to a woman washing her clothes in Africa and impress on them to pray. I know it, I’ve seen it, and I believe it. He cares that much.

I am reading through Hudson Taylor’s biography right now, missionary to China. Loving this quote: ‘”I cannot read,’ he said when things were at their worst; ‘I cannot pray, I can scarcely even think–but I can trust.'”

Yes Lord, we can trust.
And we are REJOICING with you for healing as well as praising Him for His sustaining power, His strength being made perfect in your weakness.

I know it feels like a baptism of fire sometimes, but just like the men in the fiery furnace…there’s a fourth man in the flames. You’re not just being delivered “out of”, your deliverance is happening right now, right in the midst of your trial.

And STREAMS of refreshing are coming.

Love,

Rory

Night intercessor reporting for duty…praying the pain & the fear away…My heart is heavy knowing just how draining the AB therapy is for a supermom. We give refrigerated probiotics & yogurt to pts with H.Pylori to increase chance of eradicating the bacteria. It may help to blanch those veggies in boiling water & to avoid eating skins of fruit while your immune system is suppressed. Praying that you will give yourself permission to rest, it’s so hard but it will be worth it. Praying for miraculous & undeniable healing!

Takin’ it easy…

Oh my goodness – can I just add a “amen” to the whole “3 is the new two.” My twins just turned 3 the beginning of this month and I think we have more than few similar pictures. . . every day : )

Oh it’s revealing as it can test this momma’s patience. Yet it’s always such a blessing knowing we’re not doing this parenting thing alone, isn’t it?!

Amy - March 16, 2012 - 9:55 am

Yes. After your post a couple of days ago, I have begun rereading the book. I so need to do 40 days!!

Oh yes, 3 is definitely the new 2! I had one 3 years ago! 😉 I remember the glory days well and of course,I still miss them! haha I love that pic of Laney looking exactly like a hot princess should look and Isaac is too funny staring at his unhappy brother. 🙂

Love seeing the “real” pictures. I will have to check the Maker’s diet. Thanks for sharing!!

My husband has Crohn’s disease and got so so sick 2 years ago. He lost 30 pounds and no steroids or treatments from the doctor worked. He almost died and no one could keep him from losing weight.

We got radical and did The Maker’s Diet. Everyone thought I was crazy (especially when I went to see the “Goat Lady” weekly for goat’s milk and eggs).

It was so amazing, the healing that took place. The first few weeks were rough as his body purged everything. Doctors treated me like I was contributing to his death if we tried it. But it worked…God is so amazing. He hasn’t been sick at all for a year!

One thing that really helped was some of the garden of life products (specifically the one Jordin recommends with the HSOs).

It’s called Primal Defense.

Good luck in your journey. I know how much planning and hard work it takes to do the Maker’s Diet. The Chicken Soup is still one of our gut-healing favorites 🙂

Bless you!
