This summer we have been really busy with mission trips and camps.. It's been fun. Just the other day my 10yr old - 5th grader, came up to me and said "I want to work on fractions and units of measure..." You see, she is a baker, and that is what she works with the most. She wants to really get good at changing the recipe quantities. <br />
<br />
Well I proceeded to download some recipe math worksheets... Granted she can do alot of the math in her head... but on occasion it may be difficult. So I showed her how to multiply and divide fractions, and convert an improper fraction to a mixed number on paper. It was cool seeing how I could teach her something that she would have viewed as a waste of time and apply it to exactly what she was loving to do, which is baking...<br />
<br />
I hope that this year will provide us with many hands-on learning experiences... I want my children to have a want-to, a need, and a love of learning,.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-21405268368687847232014-10-31T13:09:00.001-07:002014-10-31T13:09:17.906-07:00Jealously and ComparingGenesis 28-31<br />Rachel and Leah.... two sisters.... From the get go there was jealousy and competition between the two. One one more beautiful than the other, One was older than the other. One was able to bare more children. They fought over their husband and his love. What a mess!!!!!<br /><br />How many times in our lives to we do the same with our sisters in Christ? Do we compare our jobs or stay-at-home status... whether we send our kids to school or homeschool? Do we compare the cars we drive, the houses we live in? Do we compare our kids, our husbands? <br /><br />There is no room in our lives for jealousy and comparison. Proverbs 14:30 says "A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rotteness to the bones." Jealousy eats away at you... You will never be content or happy when you are envious of someone else. When you compare yourself with another, it not only hurts you but the relationship with that person as well.<br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br />1 Timothy 6:6 says "But godliness with </span><b style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">contentment</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> is a great gain"</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span><br />

So of course I know that there is a purpose and reason, I just didn't know what or why. This week I was studying the bible using Beth Moore's study on the the two books of Thessalonians. This week my homework had to do with mobilized ministry. Oh man did it speak to me. Because I have a ton of ministries... First my husband, children, and home; and then my ministries at church. So this is what God has taught me in the midst of two sprained ankles.<br />
<br />
Sprained Ankle x 2 - Walking on Uneven Ground
There are disabilities that cripple our capacity to do the good works which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them. These disabilities can include doubt, lack of faith, weariness, laziness, complacency, etc… These are ways that the enemy can thwart our effectiveness and kill our fruitfulness because he doesn't want our Father in heaven to be glorified.
<br />
<br />
How am I not glorifying our Father in heaven?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> I’m not being consistent in my quiet time </li>
<li>Allowing my pain to dictate my emotions and attitude towards others </li>
<li>Feeling inadequate as a mother, wife, and teacher </li>
<li>I have a bad attitude concerning the newly acquired medical expenses, which could have been used towards my mission trip, which leads to.. </li>
<li>Not relying on God for our finances.<br /></li>
</ul>
So what has God revealed to me this week?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I need to quiet myself in Him for a while.</li>
<li>What you have been called to do is beyond your natural abilities, skills or talents. </li>
<li>In loving Him with my whole heart, soul, mind and strength, everything else will fall into place piece by piece. </li>
<li> Stay willing, flexible, and teachable and God will not let me miss out on what he put me on this earth to do. </li>
<li>Even if I don’t see the connection between where I've been and where I am going, God is at work. He knows my heart and will equip me. </li>
<li>I can’t always tell if what I am doing is working, but I can rest assured that God is doing His work in me, to glorify Him. </li>
</ul>
Lord let me experience your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go, because I long for you. Psalm 143:8<br />
<br />
God, teach me to do your will, for You are my God, may your gracious Spirit lead me on level ground. Psalm 143:10Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-80107106456172033212013-02-04T17:02:00.001-08:002013-02-04T17:02:58.651-08:00Job 1:20-22 Losing Everything"At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. The he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD. be praised." In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrong doing." Job 1:20-22
When Job lost everything, his family and fortune, he grieved. He grieved for the loss of his loved ones, who wouldn't. In this test from Satan, Job passed. He proved that people can love God for who He is and not just what He gives us or what He does for us.
Job 2:10 says "Always give thanks to God for everything." God is the one who gives us all things, our family, home, health, the very air we breath.
1 Thess. 5:18 says "Give thanks in all all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." Paul was not teaching that we should thank God for all the bad things that happen to us. But IN everything give thanks. When evil strikes, we can still be thankful that he will accomplish his will through the distress.
1 Peter 5:6 - "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may life you up in due time"

At the beginning, I was overwhelmed with what curriculum to choose, what direction to go, etc., etc. Since we had a 3rd grader we thought we try a public virtual school, I mean we couldn't go wrong right? She would be learning everything the state required. Well we tried that for a month and a half and it was okay. While my 1st grader was doing hands-on assignments and having fun, the 3rd grader was bored, had lots of work and did not enjoy school. So I purchased Weaver Volume 1 (cheap and good for teaching multiple-grades)... There was alot of prep time for me, like searching for videos and books etc. However, we enjoyed it. So now what? Well, I stumbled across unitstudy.com and decided to try these for the summer. I will be purchasing, Father's Day, Independence Day and the beach fun pack which includes: Dolphin Days, Sunny Seashells, Kite Capers, and Summer Sensations. The rest of our summer we'll be on 2 mission trips and hopefully a vacation. I also found some free unit studies at homeschoolshare.com. So for the next 2 weeks we'll do one on "Isabel's House of Butterflies", so fitting since Isabel has caught numerous butterflies this spring, and the other on just Spanish. Our summer is gonna be fun...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-34513713224976000222012-01-07T11:26:00.000-08:002012-01-07T11:39:15.172-08:00Loft BedsMy husband built these beds and they are great...they give our girls so much more floor space...

I see how God used my mom in protecting me. Moving us from our hometown clear across the state, was his way of protecting me. Cause living in a small town kids get bored easily. I had a friend that had a baby at 15. God didn't even give me a chance to even think about messing up. He gave me a mom that cared more about protecting me, instead of trusting me. She never let me do anything that hinted the word trouble. Thank You Mom for loving me eventhough at the time I thought it was "unfair".... You did a great job of raising me, cause I think I turned out pretty wonderful, if I do say so myself... he he he....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-20142308235355195832010-11-28T16:39:00.000-08:002010-11-28T16:49:22.385-08:00TootsieShe's a maniac. We have a huge backyard, yet she has to remain on a 30ft lease, because she tries to escape under the fence. I'm still convinced that it was good that I got her. I think I would have mourned Loba until I got another dog. Of course getting a new dog 1 day after Loba died was probably a little pre-mature. But I was so heartbroken. 11 years with a dog is a long time, she was awesome. Of course I forgot about all stuff she tore up. She tore up 3 swings, a wooden chair, countless bowls, pull out newly planted shrubs, the list goes on... Tootsie is of course doing the same... So where will this adventure take us... I hope that she becomes magically well trained, because her life depends on it... :) Just kidding, I love Tootsie, now if only the kids will learn to love her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-54992438480266013472010-11-27T18:17:00.000-08:002010-11-27T18:36:52.448-08:00My BoyNovember 30th will be Isaac's 2nd birthday.. Two years ago I woke up Thanksgiving morning realizing that my water broke... not what I was expecting since he wasn't due until Jan 17. I found myself in the hospital a couple of hours later trying to keep Isaac in a little bit longer. The journey up until now has been non-stop... Things we've encountered were the NICU for 3 weeks, home heart monitor for 3 weeks, yellow stuff coming out of his eyes for 5 months, an umbilical hernia, hospitalized with croup for 12 hours, at least 10 occasions of pallid breath holding spells, the first time I called 911, he's lactose intolerant, and now doing speech therapy.....<br />He loves climbing into the playhouse outside, his favorite hiding place is a small empty cabinet next to the sink, he's into watching dvd's in his room before naptime and nighttime, he loves to cuddle, will stick his hand in my shirt for the heck of it, loves taking baths and showers, loves to read books, has written all over my newly painted walls, which as lead to time-outs. He has four different vehicles, a fire truck, dump truck, radio flyer scooter, and a Lightning McQueen Car. He has 3 different train sets. He's already letting me know when he pees in his diaper. He will play in the dirt, and put Tootsie's food in the water bowl. He's my boy.

What employer-employee, teacher-pupil relationship has affected you the most?<br /><br />I remember my second grade teacher, Ms Bedford, had to paddle me because I got mad for missing recess (I never did my math) and bit another teacher. Ms. Bedford also was the one who went to the library to check out nursing books for me and put them on my very own special table so that I could read when I was done with my work. She was a great teacher.<br /><br />Moses has just died and now Joshua is the leader. God has promised him the land across the Jordan. God promised Joshua that He would give him every place Joshua sets his foot, and no one would be able to stand against him. God reminds him to obey all the law that he gave Moses, and promises that He will be with Joshua wherever he goes. In order to be prosperous and succeed, I must meditate on God's word night and day and do everything written in it. Success here means that I will succeed in being in God's will.<br /><br />I love these verses... "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-85008816057035069732009-08-14T16:21:00.001-07:002009-08-14T16:21:57.736-07:00Coping MechanismWhen Emma needs to go potty, and is having to hold it she'll start chatting.

I'll have to wake up each day at 6:00 am. Then I need to get Isabel to school by 8:00 am. I so don't like waking up early. But I'm sure it's going to be a great school year. This will be Emma's last year at home. (boo hoo). At least I have 5 more years with Isaac. I can't believe he will be turning 1 at the end of Novemeber. Time sure does fly. I can't wait until our Disney World Trip at the end of September. I'm so ready to go again. This year we'll be creating our own Mickey Mouse ears.... We'll get to have breakfast with Lilo and Stitch, lunch with the princesses and even get to see a luau. It's going to be great. Well blog friends, here's my update. Talk to ya soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-87675903755826794172009-07-20T05:20:00.000-07:002009-07-20T05:29:58.202-07:00Quiet Time - God our Refuge, focus on HimIsaiah 24-27<br /><br />Ch. 25 v 1<br />O LORD, you are my God; <br />I will exalt you and praise your name, <br />for in perfect faithfulness <br />you have done marvelous things, <br />things planned long ago<br /><br /><blockquote>God completes his plans as promised. God answers my prayers.<br /> - Eddie fixed his truck, now he has AC.<br /> - Wuela came home from the hospital.</blockquote><br /><br /><br />v4<br />You have been a refuge for the poor, <br />a refuge for the needy in his distress, <br />a shelter from the storm <br />and a shade from the heat. <br />For the breath of the ruthless <br />is like a storm driving against a wall <br /><br /><blockquote>God is concered for the poor. When we are disadvantaged or oppressed we can turn to God for comfort and help.</blockquote><br /><br />Leadership Point:<br />Leaders manage stress by managing perspective. 26:3-4<br /><br />3 You will keep him in perfect peace, <br /> Whose mind is stayed on You,<br /> Because he trusts in You. <br />4 Trust in the LORD forever, <br /> For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.<br /><br />Those who fix their eyes on the past risk a severe collision with the future. Those who see only the future hit much too hard the speed bumps of today. Only those who fix their eyes on God can effectively negotiate the right pace of life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-80443195618910386592009-06-04T09:45:00.000-07:002009-06-04T09:51:34.452-07:00Is it ever ok to lie?????Read a story to my girls about a big-wide mouth frog who goes around asking other animals "Who are you and what do you eat?"""<br />Well at the end he meets an alligator.. The alligator replies that she eats big-wide mouth frogs... she then asks "Who are you and what do you eat?" He replies "I'm a little narrow mouth frog... and I'm off" and jumps away... <br /><br />My 6 year old say "Ahhhh he lied!!!" What could I say???<br /><br />So I thought and thought and asked my husband and finally came up with....<br /><br />It's ok to lie to bad people especially if you are in danger... This teaching moment came about again as we were watching Blart, mall cop....<br /><br />Now the next hurdle... On "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", the song "I'm too sexy" plays.. Of course the 6 year-old asks... "What does sexy mean?" My reply.. "Let me get back to you on that one."<br /><br />Any suggestions out there???Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-26231944619846182542009-06-04T09:10:00.000-07:002009-06-04T09:18:46.074-07:00I'm backEver since I stopped working, I have completely abandoned the blogging world. I have been stuck over at facebook.<br /><br />My grandma is doing much better, she is stil in a rehab hospital but yesterday she took 20 steps on a walker... Praise God!<br /><br />My boy is getting so big, is 6 months now and is trying to eat sweet potatoes. Belle just lost another tooth and today is her last day of kindergarden, she's so excited. I am sure going to miss her teacher, because she was such a great teacher. I hope Emma gets her when she goes in 1 year.<br /><br />My life is so good right now, I have an amazing family. My husband is just the best, my kids are my life's little lessons, they teach me so much each day. My mom and sister, well let's just say that they are a great blessing to me.<br /><br />For my birtday present, me and my mom are going to go see George Strait at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, that is going to be so neat, I'll be sure to takes some pics...<br /><br />Summer is here and I have a variety of daily activities lined up..

Our entire family was at my grandparents house, I had a bad stomach ache. My last words to my grandpa were Happy Birthday Wuelo, he said "Go home and rest"... He's now home with Jesus resting.<br /><br />March 3rd - I ignored my grandma's call for help at 2:00 pm, I had just gotten home and needed to feed Isaac. I was supposed to go to my grandparents house but decided to go home first to feed the baby. At 5:00 pm while I was trying to get out the door to take Emma to ballet, we see the news....no way it can't be my grandparents house...I jump in the truck and rush over making 2 phone calls along the way to see if anyone has heard anything...I'm met by the police and then the bad news comes...fire in the shed, my grandpa died, grandma got careflighted to Parkland....<br /><br />March 13th - I'm on my 2nd day at the hospital at 7:00 pm, Eddie, me, and my grandma have our own memorial service in the hospital room, we pray, read some poems, share some stories, watch the celebration of life dvd that I made, and cry.<br /><br />March 14th - My grandma has to go to "the tank", hell on earth. This will continue daily. I don't hear anything as I stand next to the door, she's a strong women, not like the screams that I hear from the kids that go into "the tank" I could never do that job.<br /><br />March ? - ? - Isaac is sick for half the month, coughing, throwing up, and diarrhea.<br /><br />March 30th - Isaac turns 4 months. He gets shots and he's 12lbs 11oz. Still getting over the crud... good news is that he sleeps 8 - 10 hours at night.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-3324145387494223002009-02-28T20:24:00.000-08:002009-02-28T20:32:30.147-08:00Date NightWe had a date night. What's cool is that the YMCA watched our 3 kids for the low price of $34 for 4 hours and they even fed them pizza. I love the teachers at the Y. They are the same teachers that have been there since we joined. The kids had a blast, making crowns, and also watching Monster's Inc. Just like last time, Ms. Donna said that Isaac was the best behaved child of everyone there. She asked if he was a good baby at home too. Of course he is... he is great, but all my kids were great babies and they still are. I am so pround of them every day. Isabel is reading great, and she loves to read her Early Readers Bible. Emma imagination is out of this world. She loves to draw and write notes, and she metioned to me that she loves holidays. She's already planning for Easter. Just like her mother, plans way ahead for things. Eddis is in denial that he is sleepy, yet I stare at him now sleeping on the couch. I must rest now, Isaac will be waking up hopefully not until 4 am to eat. Good Night.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-55700777069939645942009-02-26T05:49:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:58:57.032-08:00Finally but will it last?Isaac skitpha a meal last night. The midnight meal. That was good for me because I got to go to bed at 10 and not wake up again until 3. I hope he does it again tonight. Anyways today I'm going to go shopping for a baby dedication outfit for Isaac. I haven't yet confirmed the date with the Pastor yet, but we are shooting for March 15th. Eddie got a $25 gift card from JC Penny's so hopefully I can find one there. Keep your fingers crossed. Everything else is going well, I'm enjoying my time here at home. Oh yeah, pray that I get the summer gig at the YMCA. The director liked my resume, so I'm just waiting for her to post the position so that I can offically apply. I would be working with the preschoolers 1/2 day summer camps. This is cool, because I would get a 50% discount on my membership and on anything that I sign my kids up for, plus Isaac will stay in the kids zone for those couple of hours a day. I really like the teachers, and they really like him. They see him everyday for about 30 minutes when I work out. I'll keep you posted. Also Eddie and I get to go out on a date on Saturday. The kids are going to the Y for Parents Night Out. We are going to go see Madea Goes to Jail, which should be hilarious. I just love Tyler Perry's movies and plays. Well I guess I gotta run... Later Dudes..Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-52291478425679491972009-02-20T06:41:00.000-08:002009-02-20T06:44:31.091-08:00I'm addictedChocolate candy, my addiction. And since we got a bunch for Valentines day, I eat one every day... Ahhhh.<br /><br />When I go to the movies I have to get a box of Milk Duds... They are my favorite.<br />I went to my grandparents house and they had a big box of Millionaires, which are just plain sinful.<br /><br />Of course, none of this is helping me loose my 10 lbs baby weight. I want to throw it all out, but that would be just plain dumb.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-7015368978110730392009-02-08T19:45:00.001-08:002009-02-08T19:50:24.570-08:00Where did I leave off????So, I quit my job, it's been a week, and I like staying home. I spend time on facebook, that's why I haven't blogged in a long time. I went to a marriage class yesterday at OCBF called Sexplosion. It was an awesome class. I was going to buy the book, but the bookstore was all out of it. It's been almost 2.5 months since I've had a full nights sleep. I can't wait until next month, when I start Isaac on cereal, hopefully he'll sleep more at night. Tomorrow is a busy day, Eddie will be at the fire dept, so I've got to get the girls up and dressed, fed and make their lunches for school. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow. Gotta run now, Isaac has to eat...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-81398809568580611342009-01-27T16:21:00.001-08:002009-01-27T16:24:17.633-08:003 more daysFriday will be my last day, I can't say that enough... of course we'll see how I feel about it 3 months from now when I can't go out to eat just for the heck of it, because we'll be living on a budget... he he... Just kidding, I'm going to love it. I just need to get into the groove of things.Right now we are watching Wall-E, I love hearing Isabel laugh at the movie, I've got to remember to ask her what her favorite part is....Well gotta run, Eddie just got home from work...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-70642299105314246482009-01-25T19:26:00.001-08:002009-01-25T19:32:26.147-08:00Chaning TimesWell it's been awhile since I've posted anything.... I've been hanging out on Facebook.<br /><br />We brought Isaac home on Dec 22, just in time for Christmas.<br />On Jan 13, he weighted 7 lbs 10 oz. He goes to the doctor on Friday to get his 2 month shots, and a checkup. And when he goes the doctor will see that he has a hernia in his belly button.<br /><br />Friday will also be my last day of work. I've been at my job for 8 years. I've wanted to quit for awhile, I just needed a little push. My husband is so supportive, and I've been enjoying staying at home with my family. Now I'll have more time to blog, and do other projects that I've been putting off. I pray that God will just guide me each day.<br /><br />Well gotta run for now, gotta read my bible, finish watching Desperate Housewives, and then read a little of Breaking Dawn.... those 3 things don't quit go together huh... oh well that's me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829036.post-2357314425734394792008-12-14T19:54:00.001-08:002008-12-14T19:54:45.041-08:00One Step CloserIsaac is eating by bottle every other feeding. Today at 6:00 he drank him whole bottle in 15 minutes. Tomorrow, we'll meet with the OT to see when I can start nurseing him. Three other babies get to go home tomorrow. I can't wait until I get the phone call that we get to go home. My hope is that he'll be home before Christmas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
