Who writes this stuff?

I try to keep my priorities in order: Jesus, my Andy, our children, everything else. I homeschool our boys, love to read almost all written words and have been challenged by the military life for 18 years. Right now my faulty human body is demanding a lot of attention. One day at a time, learning as much as possible every day and remembering to look for JOY when other things threaten to overwhelm.

My Blog Title Verse

"For the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6 NKJV
The Message translation puts it this way "God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding."

Moo

Yesterday was a very full day, but one line just sticks out in my head.
We pulled up to our friends house, and Zion said, "ook Mommy, Moos!!" Which means, "look mommy, cows!" I just cracked up! He was so excited about those "moos".
My Mom's friend, Donna Williams really is living my dream life. They have about 10 acres of land, 10 cows, about a dozen chickens (which lay fresh eggs every day) and huge garden and five children. She has homeschooled her children, and now has one in college, 2 in highschool, and 2 still younger then that. She feeds them organic food that she has grown herself, although with three boys who all top 6 ft. (already, and aren't done growing) are all boyscouts, and play football, she can't grow enough to feed them and must supplement with other things too!
I just had to vent a little bit of my jealousy....
Someday maybe we will not be in the military, and buy some land, and raise some cows and chickens, and fresh tomatoes. But in the meantime, I must say, despite it all

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!
In other news, the closing on the house got moved up to Friday. So, I am now back in S. GA, packing like a madwoman and trying to figure out where to put all our junk. If you don't hear from me for a few days, it is because I am internetless!
Blessings!
