Home School! Are you crazy?

Well I think that I have become crazy:-) I sometimes get down when I am having a bad day, and my oh my does Satan put thoughts in my head. Things like: why home school anyway, you have a Christian school at your church? People will be so glad you put 'em in. You get so frusterated with them, it would be better if they were gone and not home. You are not smart enough. They aren't learning enough, or the right way. They need the social interaction... AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!!
Some times I give into these thoughts and try to reason with my husband in my conversation in my mind. I argue with myself in my head and even at times start to bring it up to my Dear Hubby. I am so glad that he is set in what he wants, because I know so much of my back and forth is because of my emotionalness (is that even a word?).
I am writing this now to keep myself from this battle! I am "Blogging it out" so to speak! God called my hubby to lead our family and his leading is that we should train our kids and teach them in our home. I have my good days that I enoy it and wouldn't want it any other way, then days like today when I think my wacko thoughts. So I write this to ask for prayer, and to possibly be an encouragement to others that may think "am I the only one who gets this way?"!!!! I remember Mrs. Maxwell speaking about this very subject at their conference last year. She told how she even went so far as to call the Chirstian school and get the price. When her hubby came home and she "shared" what the price was, he said he would just homeschool them at night. That if she could just baby-sit them during the day, then he would teach. Can you imagine?! I have to remind myself of this more often.
Hope that all that read this will share what helps them.

Time for Something New

Wow, that was the most comments I have ever gotten on a blog! Enough with that.

Tim, is going to go on two business trips in January. I am excited for him to be able to do this, and will enjoy the extra income. (school books for next year, yeah) He is excited about going to, great things are happening for him at his work. God has really blessed us with his stable job.

Timmy, is doing so well in school now. It is so nice that he can read, what little sponges they are. It really made me think how smart kids are, they learn so much in such a short time. He is now a Camo belt in Karate. (He is definately a home-schooler now) ;0) He was so excited about that belt, and did so good testing.

Kaitlynne, picked up reading so quickly. She is reading so much, and is a good reader. I am so amazed! She is becoming such a sweet little girl, and a great big sister. She has a way with Lydia that no one else does. She can get her to stop crying sometimes when Ican't. She holds her too, which is so helpful when I am feeding Kaleb and can't. It is now a little game, for Lydia to sit on her sisters lap.

Kristianna, what a ball of energy. She is growing up so fast, wanting to do "school time". She is a goofy girl that is loving being able to be a helper to Kaleb. She loves to give him his pacy, hold him, and wrap him for me. She is so calm when he is fussy, something I never though was possible Anna calm?!?! She is such a ham. Today at church she came walking out of the Nursery when I was getting ready to feed Kaleb. I asked her what she was doing, she looks up and says " I am sneaking out here"! Such a GOOBER:0)

Lydia, is starting to be more of a toddler and not such a baby:0( So bitter-sweet. She loved her "Kayuh" and all animals are now "dog"s. She loves animals, dogs, more than any of our others kiddos. She is a little follower of her sibblings, wish she could dicern and only copy when they are good.

Kaleb, is rolling everywhere. Talking up a storm of baby talk, and grabbing toys and putting 'em in his mouth. He is a happy, "mellow-jello" baby. I am so blessed to have a sweet calm baby. It seems like everyother baby has been this way, so hopefully the Lord gives a bigger gap this time around:0)

Me, well I am starting to adjust to regular hormones. At least a little bit, though I have been way more weepy, than ever. I just reminisce about things and could cry a river.:0) I am so excited about some new happenings in our family.....

God has given us so much to be Thankful for, we are so blessed. I am so Thankful for the life that I am able to live, helping the one who He chose for me, caring for the little BLESSINGS that He blessed us with, serving the Lord. I pray that I can be what He wants me to be. Today in Sunday School, my teacher was talking about doing what we know is right. "doing right is doing what you know is right (because what the Bible says) not what others tell you is right, or what you think is right". I think is what He said. It was really good! I am really enjoying this new Sunday School class!

I read other blogs and I love their thought on the issue, so thought I would share them with anyone who'd like to read them. Not for a debate, but for a blessing:0)

Are you Pro-Life or just Anti-Abortion???

I have heard people say they are Pro-Life, but I wonder if they really know when life begins? There is no question about it to me, it is at conception. There has been medically documentation as well as the Bible telling us that we were known before we were formed."Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5.

"Development of the embryo begins at Stage 1 when a sperm fertilizes an oocyte and together they form a zygote."
[England, Marjorie A. Life Before Birth. 2nd ed. England: Mosby-Wolfe, 1996, p.31]

I am saddened when I hear that Christians that profess to be Pro-Life are using methods of Birth Control, WAIT, BIRTH CONTROL???? The name BIRTH control should tell us what it is, right. Controlling birth, not conception, the beginning of life?! What are we thinking?????!!!! I cannot believe for a second that God is pleased when we take life in our hands. Now some may argue that it is just a name and that it doesn't control birth but rather pregnancy. Well I am going to scan in what my Kaiser Midwife gave me about this so called contraceptive device that she said does not allow you to get pregnant, and she says isn't going to destroy life.

So if you can get pregnant with it in, obviously you can get pregnant and kill your baby before you even realize you are pregnant. And it is NOT controlling pregnancy, but like its name birth!

Well there you have it. It is going to try to stop the sperm from getting to an egg, then if that doesn't work it will try to stop it from fertilizing it, and if that doesn't work then it "prevents a fertilized egg (Zygote-aka BABY) from implanting on the uterine wall"!!! Yes people it kills, maybe not the first method or even the second, but are you really going to chance the third method of killing your child?

"Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception).
"Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell. This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being."
[Moore, Keith L. Essentials of Human Embryology. Toronto: B.C. Decker Inc, 1988, p.2]

We see these videos on abortion and are grieved by them and many Christians are doing the same thing by using IUD's. I really think that the world and medical world has brain washed us. How sad that we are willing to take life in our hands. I have also known two ladies that were damaged from an IUD and it embedding into there uterus. One friend has offered to share her story with anyone who will listen, so please let me know if you would like to talk with her and I will get you connected with her.

Are you really Pro-Life or just Anti-abortion???

God wants to bless you, maybe with a child please do not listen to the devil, or your Dr. when they say an IUD is safe or isn't killing babies, because it is! Read the pamphlet from Mirena! Here is what I copied and pasted from Mirena's website:

http://www.mirena-us.com/faqs/index.jsp#25

How does Mirena work?

A Mirena slowly releases very small amounts of the hormone levonorgestrel directly into your uterus.

There is no single explanation for how Mirena works. Mirena may:

• Thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering your uterus
• Inhibit sperm from reaching or fertilizing your egg
• Make the lining of your uterus thin
  

Mirena may stop the release of your egg from your ovary, but this is not the way it works in most cases. Most likely the above actions work together to prevent pregnancy. Like other forms of birth control, Mirena is not 100% effective. If there is a chance that you could become pregnant than there is a chance that you could abort!

If you believe that life is at conception, how can you use a deadly device! "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."James 4:17 . I am kindly trying to warn those that will listen. If you read the info mentioned here you will see for yourself.

This is just me thinking and rambling on about something that I am passionate about. My husband and I are loving the life that God has blessed us with and the children He has given us. I merely want to warn others that are being deceived, stop listening to the lie of the devil. (who might be disguised as your Dr.)
