Tackle It Tuesday

Posted in Homemaking

I’m tackling a doctor’s appt that I don’t really want to go to. I would have cancelled, but I’ve tried to get this appt for several years (yes, you read that right, years). Anyway, I’m praying that the timing will work out right. I have to drop Munchkin off at VBS at 9:00 and my appt is at 9:30. I have to be back to pick her up by noon.

We had a blast learning about edible plants in the wild. I don’t feel comfortable just picking plants and eating them yet, but it definitely peaked our interest. I’ll be looking for a good guide in the near future.…

Thankful Thursday: Praising God No Matter What

Posted in Family

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be though dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 Before D left on Sunday, we watched Facing the Giants. If you haven’t watched the movie, I highly recommend taking the time to view it. From the movie, we took away the saying that we’d praise God no matter what. This week, Munchkin and I reminded each other of this often. I’m grateful that we’ve been able to talk to D this week each evening. Can I say…
