We are moving back east! We have lived on the West coast for over 17 years and we are moving near my family next month. We have a house in a great neighborhood with fishing pond, basketball court, playground, walking trails and we will be across from the lake! It is amazing how it all happened.
My husband has been praying for years as to what God wanted him to do. He did get a place but he didn't want to leave WA. At one time we thought we were supposed to go through Seminary but my husband never got a call personally. Thursday night at church my husband got a miracle! Not only did God work this miracle in his life but also mine as Nate finally had NO doubts about what God wanted us to do!! We shared all this with our Pastor and we are all rejoicing in the wonderful miracles God performed that night.
The next morning - the perfect house in the town we wanted came for sale and we got it! Not only did we get it but more miracles just keep happening with the extremely low interest rate we locked in to a possible free move through the company. I'm telling you - when you accept God's will - He starts moving!!
I had written this sad post about accepting our situation as I waited for years for my husband to make up his mind. I had come to the place in my mind that I had given up with things ever changing. That next night is when God brought these miracles! To think - I was so depressed and down - and the blessing was just around the corner. God is so good!!
My family is flipping out - they have always wanted us closer and other than parents, my family has never even met my son and he is almost 4! They also haven't seen us in 6 years - so not only is this a big move to a new place, and a new (first) house but we will also have the biggest homecoming ever!! I will be just 5 hours away from my family because we wanted to stay with our wonderful church organization and they have a great church where we are moving. We know the Pastor and his wife and they are AMAZING people and are also so excited for our move.
I could go on with the details - how we already made connections with some people there, etc. - but I will not make this a really long post LOL! Just remember, when it seems all is lost and you are ready to give up - THAT is when the blessing is just around the corner - hold on!!

What I Believe
Quotes to Ponder
If you’re a friend to all and an enemy to none, then you’re leading no one. - Unknown
The objective in Christian homeschooling is not to teach children how to "deal with the real world." I do not want to teach my children how to merely survive this life. As believers in Christ, we are called to be overcomers! - HE magazine
The modest virgin, the prudent wife, and the careful matron, are much more serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers, blustering heroines, or virago queens. She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice and trains up the other to virtue, is a much greater character than ladies described in romances, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from their quiver, or their eyes. - Oliver Goldsmith
Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world. - Charles SpurgeonIn a time of universal deceit, telling the TRUTH, is a revolutionary act . -George Orwell
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. -Winston Churchill
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
SECULARISM is a philosophy that claims that there is no God-or that if there is a God, He is irrelevant. HUMANISM essentially says that in the absence of God, humans can and should act as gods by judging, choosing, and defining what is right for themselves. The philosophy pervading the public education system combines these two philosophies into one.-Ken Ham
How can there be too many children? That’s like saying there are too many flowers. -Mother Teresa

If you take your children to Caesar for their education, you need to stop being surprised when they come home as Romans -Voddie Baucham
Christian mothers too often neglect their home-centered role for the empty promises of fulfillment in the workplace, while they warehouse their children in daycare centers. Parents send their children to secular schools where God is outlawed, and they allow them to watch trashy movies and listen to vile music—and hang out with those who do the same. After years of training in the ways of rebellion through godless schooling, debauched entertainment, and peer association, Christian parents are somehow surprised when their teenagers rebel, forsaking the God of their fathers.- Philip Lancaster
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts. - Charles Spurgeon
“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininty, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error….”-Tasha Tudor

The true defining situation for a person is what they do when they are alone and don't have to do anything else. What do they do? Do they do frivolous things? That's when you define what you are. -Kevin Rollins, former CEO of DELL
Fifty-nine modern nations are plagued by the high-tech benefits of birth-control pills. Each of them have waged a cultural war against babies. Each of them suffer below-replacement birthrates. Each of them face potential extinction. But concerns such as national suffering, dangerous international geopolitics and the disappearance of entire nations are matters that would require mature thinking – something that was successfully bred-out of the American people when they accepted the pill as, in the words of Hugh Hefner, the greatest invention of the 20th century. - Geoffrey Botkin
