Give me peace

I'm trying to find my peace. The wind is blowing hard outside. I have to fly early tomorrow. We leave the house at 3am (fun). I'm actually anxious about these strong winds. I sure don't want to die on this trip! I'm happy to be seeing my family but I wish everyone was well. Rejoice with those who do rejoice and weep with those who weep. Please pray for a safe flight...it's so stormy here. Please pray for my mom who is having knee surgery today, and my nephew Gary who is in the hospital. I need grace…I need God’s hand of protection and favor to rest on me and my whole family. Juergen will have his hands full. It’s not so easy to take care of our 5 kids, and he plans to work part time. I filled the freezer, and cabinets with food. He won’t need to shop for awhile. The laundry is done. I’m going to run the vacuumed over the floor. Tonight we eat pizza and watch a movie together. I love my family. I have it really good here. I’m always a wreck before I travel, and then I manage to relax once I’m gone. You would think I would be pretty good at this…but I’m not. I’m a mess! It’s probably hormones screwing me up. It feels like mega bad PMS. I sure can not walk by emotions.

Traveling is a challenge sometimes, you wonder what you've forgotten is everything taken care of at home.

We pray for a safe travels.

You will be fine once your on the plane, bring a book you've been wanting to read, a pillow for your head and a blanket for a good nap on the plane.

see you soon

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
