Hey everyone! How is your day going? Mine started off with a headache but it is gone now, and I hope that I will able to get a lot done today.

I do have a question for everyone; is my sidebar in the right place? On my computer screen in is not in the right place, but the last time that happened it did it just on my computer and no one else’s.

I am so sorry that this is such a short and boring post, but I have a lot to do! See you tomorrow!

I am feeling better this morning, so hopefully I will post regularly again. Yesterday, our other goat gave birth to two kids! That means we have four goats! It is so fun to watch them, they are so sweet. Again, I wish that I could post pictures of them but I am not able.

So what are you all going to be doing this week? I will be busy writing an article for a magazine, working on my book and all the chores and other daily tasks I have to do. I also am going to try to spend some time reading some books that I have been wanting to read. I have a whole pile on my book shelf that has been waiting for me.

Well, I better get busy! Thank you for stopping by.

Yesterday was a hard day for me and my family. There were just a lot of little things that were going wrong, and it just made us feel miserable. We felt like we were being nibbled to death. Have you ever had that feeling? Nothing big is wrong but a hundred small thing are? It was one of those days that we all wished we could have just stayed in bed, or sat in front of the TV all day, but life must go on. Then, yesterday evening, God did two things to remind us that he cares for us and was with us even when we are down.

We all went outside to see one of our goats that wasn’t eating, and figured out that it had eaten something poisonous and might die. Mom mixed up some medicine for it and we all hoped that it would work; we really couldn’t afford to lose the goat. Then we all went inside because a bad storm was headed our why. The storm had hail and possible tornados. A fitting end to the kind of day we had had.

The storm broke up before it hit us and for that we were thankful. Then I looked out the window and saw a blessing that God had left for us. The goat that we had thought was dying had actually had been in labor, and what I saw was a kid (a baby goat)!!!!! We all ran out in excitement and saw the two beautiful new kids. I wish I could post pictures of them but, as you know, I can’t do that on dial-up.

On our way inside from looking at the kids, we looked up as saw one of the biggest rainbows I have ever seen. It was a full bow and it really was encouraging. And so, our day ended on a very good note.

“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16 NIV

I am sick and tired of being tired and sick! I am sure all of you have been at this point at one point or another, and that is where I am today. We think I am struggling with allergies due to oak pollen, and we live on five acres of oak trees! Oh well, I will enjoy the oak trees a lot this summer once they aren’t pollinating.

Are any of you suffering from allergies? This seems to be the season for it and it is no fun. Thank God for medicines that help us cope, and our families to take care of us.

I hope that the rest of your day is blessed, and allergy free.

Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting the last couple of days, it has been crazy at my house. My dad hurt his back and is having trouble getting around, I am still not feeling well (not sure what I have), and some missionary friends of ours came to stay they weekend. As you can see I was busy.

Yesterday, I stayed home from church with one of the missionary kids who is very shy and very tired of going from church to church. It makes me very thankful that there are families that are willing to go out of their comfort zones to spread the gospel all around the world. What would we do without them?

Today, I am planning on trying to get caught up on some scrapbooking, sewing and some yahoo group stuff that I haven’t done for the past three days (sorry). What are all of you up to today?

Hi everyone! I have been feeling under the weather the past few days and that is why there was no post yesterday.

I am very pleased at the start that my Yahoo group has gotten. Young Women Christian Bloggers has four members and I am very hopeful that we will soon have many more. If you are interested in joining, click here, and apply for membership.

So what is going on here? I am busy writing, as usual, and sewing. I am trying to make a bunch of new stuff for my Etsy store. What have all of you been up to?

From the time I was very young, I have had a fascination with all things space. I loved to go out at night and have my dad point out the constellations in the night sky, and try to remember where they were the next night. I loved (and still do) to read books on the planets and galaxies and the space probes that had been sent to look at them.

Yesterday, we watched a documentary on Space Ship One; the first ever spaceship that was funded and built by a private company and was flown by a private citizen. It was so neat to watch a guy with a big dream, that everyone said was impossible, design, build and fly a spacecraft without the help of any government. He had the help of young people just out of college, men who had never finished high school, and people that try things that most people with a great education would laugh at.

You know, it made me think of our own Christen lives. We sometimes look like crazy people to the rest of the world. We trust and put our hope in something that we cannot see, and we make friends with people with little to no education, people who have made big mistakes in their past, and we welcome (at least we should) the people that the world has given up on.

We are a group that does not need or want the help of any government to reach our high goal, the goal that many think impossible, and that is to live our lives to honor and glorify Christ.

I hope that made sense. Have a great day!

Good morning everyone! I hope that you had a restful and worshipful Sunday.

It is turning out to be a perfect day today, weather wise, and I am getting ready for a busy day. I am so glad that some of you have chosen to join the new yahoo group. If you haven’t already applied for membership, please do.

I will write a longer post tomorrow, I just don’t have the time to today.

I did not sleep well last night so this is not going to be a long post.

There were some questions about the Yahoo group that I would like to answer in this post. First, the purpose of the group will be to provide a place for us to connect and encourage one another. I will not be moderating each comment, but if someone starts posting things that are not edifying, I will delete that person from our members' list.

To join, go here and click Join This Group. After you sign in to your yahoo account (or create one) it will need to leave a message of why you want to join (please leave your blog address so that I can look at your blog) and then I will approve your membership and we can start talking with one another.

Any more questions?

I am pleased to announce that we now have a message board for all of us to exchange ideas at. I have created a yahoo group called, Young Christian Women Bloggers. If you are interested in joining, there are a few things that you need to know.

I have complete control on who I allow into the group, and I will check out your blog to make sure that you are posting God- and family-honoring posts. I am going to assume that most of you have the same high standards for what you talk about with others. If I find that people are beginning to talk about things that are not edifying, I have no problem with just deleting the whole group.

Now, I just want to say that I am looking forward to getting to know all of you a little better. I hope that this group will be a blessing to you all.

P.S. Don’t forget to give me your blog address when you apply for membership.
