Another home school mom is blogging--YEAH!!!

Hello,
This morning we woke up with friends in the house. Jonathan and Sarah Stover did decide to spend the night with us after all. The boys slept in the camper and Cora and Sarah slumber- partied for about half an hour after family prayer time, which was at 12:30 AM. Last night Robert and I spent quite a bit of time discussing organic farming and Basic H with Jonathan while the "Children" played Trumpet with Sarah. This morning we had breakfast together; looked at their new farmstead on Goggle Earth; and sent them on their way.

Our big news is that the guys have gotten the big square baler running and we were all out in the field just now watching them make the very first bale. Pictures to follow.


Here's some wonderful news!!! The lady who inspired me to start blogging has herself picked up her pen again after a sabbatical from blogging. My neighbor, Tamera, began writing about her life on their farm which is a mile and a half away from us. I am soooooooooo happy for Tamera, as sometimes there just is no therapy like writing. At other times, one must release tension by making music or milking goats or digging in the dirt or having tea with a friend or having a good cry........ The neat thing about writing, though, is that it can be a blessing to others if one shares what one has been learning. I encourage everyone, then, to go to Tamera's blog and glean from her life experiences at: http://tamerasvanes.blogspot.com/ Her goats are just sooooooooooooo adorable--love those Nubian ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now ladies, in the past week 2 of my friends have picked up their pens and begun sharing how the Lord is blessing them as they serve Him in their homes. This is a VERY important message to get out to the world!!! I think many people still think of home school moms as lazy, TV watchers who are old grumps and who nag their husbands and children to death. Maybe the first generation of women who stayed home, instead of running off to the workplace, did have nothing to do but watch tv and gossip on the phone. However, since home schooling has come along, nothing could be farther from the truth. WE'RE BUSY LADIES!!!!!!!!!! My prayer is that every home school mom, who loves the Lord, would start blogging. This is an avenue which is open to us to share how much we LOVE being at home instead of being stressed out in the workforce trying to fill shoes that we were never meant to fill. Please pray about this and, in the meantime you can get inspired by checking out Tamera's and Kimberly's new blogs. Please let me know when you start YOURS and I'll put your link on my sidebar too!

Out to the garden.
