Here we are its the end of October, I feel that there has been a dark cloud over my head over the past couple of months. This summer was quite dark and not very warm. I'm sure that had something to do with my attitude. My daughter, my mother and I just saw Julie and Julia and now I feel like a celebrity. School has gotten underway and I hope to have an enjoyable year with my beautiful children. My baby is almost a year and yet my oldest is almost 16, that's a bag of mixed emotions. I feel that God has been preparing me for something, I'm working on being more patient, but as we all know its hard. Growing is always going to be challenging and I know God's love endures forever but sometimes I forget. He has proven to be perfect in all of His ways each and every time I cry out to Him. Who could stand to live a life alone without Jesus a Savior for all. Where would I be without Him?

Fall is always so beautiful yet the season that follows is not often welcome.

We are all running around, with preparations to be indoors (most of the time) sort of hibernating. I hope we have a mild winter so we can enjoy being outside as a family. The children love the outdoors and it is hard on them to be inside.

On Monday of this week I was able to experience a calf being born God is so amazing.

This has been an interesting summer. It has felt like spring and fall the whole time. As for provisions God has supplied in abundance. The garden is amazing despite all the rain. The children have started to settle down just in time for our regular routine to return. God has revealed Himself to me once again over the past couple of weeks, He is in control and the more you go against that, the larger the distance you create between you. His grace is sufficient. Over and over and over again. We are looking forward to going to the festival this year. Soak up some music and love.

today

Gardening on my mind......Praying to God for provisions.

Today is ... well, snowy and my mind is occupied with preparing for being in the city for two days. I know do not worry about tomorrow..... God please help me focus on today and let tomorrow worry about itself. The kids are ecstatic about the new sticky snow outside. If we could all become like small children and not absorb ourselves with our present worries. That's all for today!

There they are my wonderful babes. We actually spent the day in the city yesterday and we didn't have chaos. Thank you Jesus, we made it through the day I think we have taken a big step for our family. Today is a quiet day everyone is relaxing the younger ones are napping and here I sit adding a post to my blog to relax well the reason is that I'm slowly making my way to do a massive used curriculum search on the Internet so I threw on a sermon to listen to and fell into my personal thoughts. Baby just woke up, I went to pick her up and glanced at the thermostat in the kitchen window, +12? I'm now wondering what I'm doing in the house. Winter is officially over, my tomatoes seeds have sprouted in the window. I'm looking forward to growing this year, not just my garden but also maturity and spiritually. With five children maturity sort of comes more naturally than spiritual growth.

I've made some choices in life that have brought me to were I am today. I have also came to know that with Jesus those consequences can be used for good. When I was younger I had a desire to have many children and grow up an army to change the world. I feel that with the strength that only God can give I know that, that army will be of use to change the world.
Step by step, I an learning to be a good,Wife, Mom,and daughter of God. until next time...

Well here we go, Ive been sort of wrestling with this having a blog idea, wondering if it's a good use of my time. But I decided maybe someone out there may be interested in what I have to say.
Being a mother of five amazing children has me quite busy these days. I love them and wouldn't trade them for a life with all those so called freedoms others have with less or no children. God put on my heart when I was young that I wanted to have lots of children and grow up and army to change the world. So after coming to know God and His word I found it quite easy to follow through with those desires. I pray most days that I am indeed growing an army to change the world and not growing up menaces to society.

Time has run out I have to turn the oven on and bake bread and buns for tomorrow now if I'm ever expecting to get to bed a a decent time tonight. Shalom xo
