I am so sad that I will not get to see her next summer. What a sad loss...only 13 and a whole life ahead of her. Praise God the she is no longer sick in Heaven now!<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Teachers need
fresh ideas and practical solutions to engage their children in
learning. Let us give you some terrific ideas so your child will
enjoy learning and retain information better. Our goal is to
resource teachers so children are engaged and stay on task for
the learning experience. <br />
</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">
First, the teacher must realize the learning style of the
child. Many teachers are most comfortable teaching in their
personal learning style but that might not be a match with the
child or children being taught. We will discover ways to
identify the learning styles of the child and how we can adapt
our methods to best fit and tailor to the learner. Mr. Mark
explains several practical ideas each teacher should work to
employ in their classroom time. Variety will always help make
learning fun and exciting but teachers need ideas. Mr. Mark’s
Classroom is constantly buzzing with new resources and helps
that assist teachers with the variety they seek and it’s free.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">
Second, the early childhood and early elementary children are
most responsive to eight unique actions the teacher can always
use. By knowing how to use sensory, relationships, curiosity,
imitation, play, repetition, satisfaction, and hands-on learning
in the classroom, the teacher will discover greater engagement
and even less behavior issues. Mr. Mark uses these tried and
true methods weekly and has created such fun experiences he will
share with our teachers to use immediately.</span></div>

Right now we are at the end of our 1st term, which will be a 4-week break, at which time they are trying to hand write files on each of the children attending at the school. This takes many, many hours of time. We will continue school all year round as it is important to keep the children active, learning, and taught to speak </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">English. During this time, is when we are praying to get the things that we need for our school so that we can continue to be able to teach the children what all life has to offer, and that there is still a big world out there to investigate, and continue learning for their entire lives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So I know a lot of you on here are my friends and strong Christians, so I just wanted to share my thinking on something that God has been dealing with me about. About four or five months ago the idea of "I should go to Africa kept popping into my mind. Well I can be completely honest with you and say that this is NOT something that has ever crossed my mind as something that I would ever do, because, well mostly the reason is that I have a fear of flying. I'll admit it, an<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">d some people probably think that's an absolutely ridiculous fear to have, but since I was a little kid and had a bad experience in a small plane, it's just not something I ever thought I would do again in my lifetime. So When the thought popped into my head, the first thing I thought of was that I must be going crazy, and the next thing that popped into my head was that song by Scott Wesley Brown that says, "Please don't send me to Africa...I don't think I got what it takes..."</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />Well then the first of January came around and a friend of mine whom I'd lost contact with for awhile, found me on Facebook again, and started talking to me! I was so excited because Watulo and her family, and the orphanage where she cares for the children and teaches them school, consider me their American family, and we use Messenger on FB to talk, call each other, and video chat, where I can even talk with the children and watch them dance, play, and do their schoolwork! I love being able to talk face to face with Watulo and the children!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span>
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been in a quandary over this because this is NOT like me to want to go too far without my husband or one of my kids with me, the thought of flying is truly beyond even explaining, but I have even checked into shots I would need, what a passport would require, and even looked into flights! Like I said, this is NOT like me, but God continually keeps bringing it to mind over, and over. I would stay 2 - 3 weeks and work in the orphanage. I don't have a clue why God would be bringing this up or even how on earth we could afford airfare!! And on top of it, I feel I want to take Sheyenne, our 13-year-old, with me, because she has seen some of the children over Messanger, and has a penpal at the village there that she writes to. What an amazing experience that would be!! But 2 days, and 35 hours flying time?!?! Me? Go to Uganda, Africa? I wish I could just be there now with them! Just skip the flying part and all...But daily I want to go there more and more!! The airfare?? Where would we get that kind of money? If God wants us to go, then somehow, HE will have to provide, as this is a dream of a lifetime!! ME? Go to AFRICA? How Lord? It will HAVE to be through God's provision!!</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As Watulo said, "I know God will provide, He is the Alpha and Omega, He knows you are traveling for a good cause and to serve Him. ...He will provide, nothing is difficult in God's presence."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

Has yours changed, grown, developed even deeper, or do you even know what YOUR very own gift is?? If not, you really should do so? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Go to:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgiftstest.com%2Ftest&h=3AQHAmMmDAQHzHgYIQLm-a3LLswzG_OY2ARSGgkciPmbAGQ&enc=AZOI9FTosNvjVkA25ma6yXnl-2o9UgOmr8bWh-obUb7D2d8fD40GaN7uAGk9cvyqyLCYU8Wmfh7nzCf0wfPkDL3t4UuKsh27xlzkzK5EEfr9QZIOi-oMP8UP6QjHCRZxFdFI0DRbyEvyFd3iA0J5vMLJVrL4NhlOPveFFYo2fcLxUlGhDyNBJ7aUNl0HbKhHDqswhILOOdGWlLq5cOFNwhtS&s=1" rel="nofollow" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://giftstest.com/test</a></span><br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got my top 5 in this order - </span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">1) Pastor/Shepherd<br />2) Exhortation<br />3) Mercy<br />4) Service<br />5) Discernment</span></i></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 6px;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I know what these each are, except the exact meaning of Exhortation. So, I got out my book, "Discover Your God-Given GIFTS," by Don & Katie Fortune. I looked up the Characteristics of the Exhorter. It says, "that the teacher aims for your head, while the exhorter aims for your heart. It is not so much the content that the exhorter wants to impart as that content can be made effective in peoples' lives. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Everyone of the gifts can teach, but the exhorter makes the most interesting and palatable teacher. All of his gifts are geared toward edifying and encouraging other people. We could have called this person the encourager. In fact, the Greek word<i> paraklesis </i>means a calling to one's side to aid denoting both exhortation and encouragement.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The exhorter wants everyone to have a full, meaningful life. Exhorters are builders, not of buildings, but of people. They want to help people live up to their full potential. Their greatest joy is being an instrument to help another live victoriously."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The expressions on people's faces, listening for reactions, and analyzes body language to know that he's really communicating, and that this person is listening and valuing the input of the exhorter. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>

I plan to keep researching it, and reading all scripture related to my five highest Spiritual gifts. Who knows, maybe this has something to do with the New Year...2017?! </span> </span></span></div>

Not new to thousands of people, but new to me. Really, it is out of necessity for my family, as with our high deductible ($6000.00 person), starting from June 1st to June 1st, we have only met our deductible 4 times in the 28 years that my husband has been working at his job in 28 years. At any rate, I have begun researching Essential Oils. I have researched myself silly into confusion in fact! There are so many Essential Oil Companies out there, and finding the ones that are legitimate, certified therapeutic, organic ones out there. And if they don't follow those guidelines, as well as <i>only </i>contained in dark bottles, then they are cheap, artificial knockoffs. There are hundreds of them out there, but if you don't find the true ones, you won't have the true beneficial benefits the "real" essential oils that God provided us through the flowers, plants and trees He provided us as natural</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">medicines. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know that there are over 300 references in the Bible about essential oils? Frankincense and Myrrh are two of the most popular ones that were used for many, many years. Just think, did they open their medicine cabinets and pull out prescription medicines, or did they pull out essential oils from the plants and flowers around them? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So while on this journey, I really desire to put together as much information about essential oils as I can, and pray that God will guide me to the best, purest ones that <i><u>HE</u></i><b> </b>would have me use for my friends and family. So if you will, pray with me so that I am able to find and make only God's best essential medicines and creams and butters that HE would have me make.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677078900310394269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475256003375395302.post-33853760622360415572016-03-14T19:37:00.005-05:002016-03-14T19:40:16.510-05:00Have you Met Charlotte Mason<h1 class="page-title kl-blog-post-title" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(203, 203, 203); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #050505; font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 36px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 40px; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding-bottom: 0px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Have you met Charlotte Mason? She was a remarkable British woman who was far ahead of our time when it comes to educating our children. She was born in 1842 in England, but was orphaned at the age of 16 when both of her parents passed away. It was at this time that she came to truly love children while living with different families to help them out in their homes so as to have a place to live. So at 18, she decided to join a teacher’s training college. After a year of training, due to financial need, and her wonderful connection with children, she was offered an official teaching position there.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="line-height: 1.8;">Miss Mason was given a God-given gift when teaching her pupils. Her belief was this…“Children are born persons.” She treated ALL persons, no matter what age, race or class they were, with kindness, politeness and respect. Charlotte frequently said, “Always remember that people</span><span style="bottom: -0.25em; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="line-height: 1.8;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.8;">matter more than things. Don’t say anything that will leave a sting.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Her greatest desire was to teach the “whole child,” and not to just pour information in to them as though they were robots who were to spew back out what had been poured in to them. Her quote has become one that is well known amongst many homeschooling families now-a-days, and that is, “Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, and a Life”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
By “Atmosphere,” she meant the surroundings in which the child grows up. Is your home an organized, peaceful place for your children to enjoy and be content in? Where they have freedom to go outside and enjoy the fresh air? Or is your home cluttered, chaotic, and lacking peace so that your children are less than thrilled to come home? If this is the case, what can you do to change it?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
As to “Discipline,” Charlotte meant the discipline of good habits, and especially habits of character. Good habits are not acquired simply by making good resolves, though the thought must precede the action. She believed that parents should make this a high priority while their children are young, one habit at a time, and to continue to work on as they grow older.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Lastly, “Life,” is the third area she speaks of, applies to academics with living thoughts and ideas, not just dry facts.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;">
As a final thought…“We hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme of mankind, and the culmination of all education…is that personal knowledge of, and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.” (Charlotte Mason)</div>

To start off with, we sold our house in Macedonia, and moved in to a beautiful house in a tiny little country town. Our old house sold, and we bought our new one, all in<b><i> three week's time!</i></b> <b><u>GOD</u> <u>IS</u> <u>SO</u> <u>GOOD!!</u> </b>We moved in to our new house 10 days before Christmas, and yes, in the rain and snow. Did we put up a tree? YES! It wasn't up long, but it was up! Then I received the opportunity to do some writing! Yes, actually writing about one of my loves, <i>homeschooling! </i>I am so blessed to say that I am now helping to write lesson plans for "Schoolhouse Teachers," then I accepted the challenge of writing an actual article that would possibly be an article monthly for the blog, "Homeschooling with Heart." I was one of the chosen!! Then, to add to God's favor, I was offered the chance to write an article for the magazine, "The Old Schoolhouse Magazine," <b>and</b> be paid for it!! I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of all of this!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then, my husband surprised me by us finally being able to pay off our big 15-passenger van (which is the kind of vehicle I have been driving for the past 24 years), and bought me a 2011 Ford Explorer, which is the newest vehicle I have ever driven! That is a total God thing!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then, we were blessed on Monday with a healthy, strong litter of cockapoo puppies, which is the breed I am breeding now. Only one or two litters per year, but that is fine to me as they are part of our family, and they used to all people, children of all ages, and will have their first shots and wormings. Mama is the mini red poodle, and daddy is a chocolate & white cocker spaniel.</span><br />

I was heartbroken. Well my friend, who is a Persian cat breeder in DesMoines, had a litter of kittens and one that I might fit with perfectly. Well I did! Her name is Savannah. And then, she had a baby brother who is handicapped, because his brain stem didn't grow as it should have, so his equilibrium is off. She asked if I would want him, and work with his special needs, or she would have to put him down. I read and also found out that he is in no pain, will have a regular life span of 15 - 18 years, still can be taught, etc. So, I said an absolute </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">yes</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">!</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> They are two wonderful kittens!!

First, about 3 months ago, we decided that we wanted to move closer to our children and grandchildren, because where we are currently living is so much further away from our children where they all live now, that I was feeling very much secluded from everyone, and even to friends. So, I explained to my husband how I was feeling, that I never could really connect with this house since we couldn't have chickens, a big garden, or our grandbabies over like they used to be able to do. My husband liked the "city look in the country," and I wanted "country in the country." With not having any of those things, I was staying in the city more and more, with my best friend/sister, and our kids we still have in the nest. I just was so lonely, bummed, and wanting to be around the people I love more, other adults to talk to, and an opportunity for my children to be around more children to play with. We didn't have the farm animals that we used to have, no garden to spend time with, and no one in the immediate surrounding area to play with. Yes, we have bikes, dirt bikes, 4-wheelers, a basketball hoop, riding mower, and a big pool up (for the summer), However, even those things end up boring if you have no one to do anything with.<br />
So, <strong><em>PRAISE GOD</em></strong> <em>(and I do mean literally!),</em> we put our house up for sale, sold it, found another house in a very tiny (518 people to date), but peaceful, nice town, and also bought a new, beautiful home, and in less than 3 weeks!!! <strong>God is so good!!!</strong> Oh my gosh! <em>And so faithful!! YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE <strong>"FAITH!"</strong> <u>NO</u> <u>MATTER</u> <u>WHAT</u> <u>THE</u> <u>CIRCUMSTANCES</u> <u>LOOK</u> <u>LIKE!!</u> And TITHE! It's really God's anyway! </em>So hopefully, by the middle of next month, we will be moving! I am so excited! It is a gorgeous home, double lot yard, heated garage that holds 4 vehicles, a shed, and we are so blessed! For God selling ours, and Him finding this one for us, when we almost made a huge mistake and bought a different one. <span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong>:0)</strong></span><br />
Also, officially as of today, our granddaughter we have been raising since birth, was diagnosed as having high spectrum autism, and having ADHD. Her pediatrician felt this was the case about 6 months ago, but we had to have her professionally diagnosed by the specialists at Monroe Myer Institute in NE first. Well it is official, so now we can get her the specific help she needs, and encourage her progression so that she will be able to function as a normal adult one day.<br />
ANOTHER blessing from God, is that our 3rd oldest daughter, Ashley, and her husband Perry, are having another baby!!!!! WE ARE SO THRILLED!!!!!! <strong> Grandbaby #14!</strong> (And 6 more in Heaven).

<strong>Parents, beware of who, and where, your children are with.</strong></div>
<br />
HONOLULU (AP) — Lawyers for the family of a New York teen killed during a kayak excursion in Hawaii last year said Tuesday that the trip's organizers didn't properly vet or train its leader.<br />
<br />
Lawyers for the family of Tyler Madoff, 15, said Tuesday in federal court in Hawaii that Bold Earth Teen Adventures ignored or didn't know about marijuana and alcohol use by trip leader Andrew Mork, and ignored safety rules for a state park on Hawaii's Big Island where Madoff died when he was swept out to sea.<br />
<br />
"This young man never, ever, ever should have been in charge of children," said Loretta Sheehan, an attorney for Tyler's father, Michael Madoff.<br />
<br />
Lawyers for Mork and Colorado-based Bold Earth Teen Adventures declined to comment to The Associated Press after the court hearing in Honolulu.<br />
<br />
The details surfaced as attorneys argued whether potential punitive damages in the wrongful death lawsuit would be guided by Hawaii or Colorado laws.<br />
<br />
U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway has already ruled twice this year that the case must move forward in Hawaii and not in the state where Bold Earth is based. She said she would likely decide by next week on whether the case would be governed by Hawaii laws on punitive damages, which are less favorable for defendants than in Colorado.<br />
<br />
"What happens if every company that offers recreational activity in Hawaii decided to incorporate in Colorado and incorporate at least some activities in Hawaii," Mollway said.<br />
<br />
Douglas Stevens, a lawyer for Bold Earth, said Madoff's family agreed in their contract arranging the trip that issues would be resolved under Colorado law. He said the language was clear in the contract.<br />
Mollway previously rejected a similar argument the company made for moving the case, saying the contract's clause was not enforceable.<br />
<br />
Sheehan said Tuesday that Bold Earth didn't perform a proper background check on Mork, which would have found three marijuana-related convictions. She said Mork was also kicked out of a bar on the Big Island while there for a previous trip for the company in 2011.<br />
<br />
Sheehan said that while on the excursion, the group took too many people and stayed too long in the park, and didn't know about warnings of high surf.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677078900310394269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475256003375395302.post-59851207708991131262015-02-06T23:19:00.002-06:002015-02-06T23:19:53.730-06:00A Letter from a ReaderA letter from our reader...<br />
<br />
Hi Kelly:
<br />
<br />I love your blog -- your post about your child, Samuel, was simply beautiful. It's so brave of you to share your story with us.
<br />
<br />As parents, our number one priority is always the safety of our children. When they're at school or camp, or anywhere outside of the home, we're forced to trust them in the care of others. I recently came across this story about a high school boy on a travel excursion with Bold Earth, who was swept out to sea and died when the tour guides ignored warnings about the area. You can read more about this tragedy here: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/19/teen-killed-kayaking-hawaii_n_4305555.html" tabindex="-1" target="_parent">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/19/teen-killed-kayaking-hawaii_n_4305555.html</a>
<br />
<br />I don't have a blog of my own, but as a reader of so many parenting blogs, I think it's really important to spread awareness of incidents like this that can easily occur to any family during travel. I hope you'll share this story with your readers so they can think twice before sending their children on these types of trips.
<br />
<br />Kindly,
<br />Sue

<img alt="The Fence
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said “you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.” You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. Make sure you control your temper the next time you are tempted to say something you will regret later.

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stillborn or Miscarriage?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Today, my beautiful son, you would be 7 years old. How can 7 years have gone past already, if <strong><em>I</em></strong> still feel like it was just yesterday that you were born? Do you realize that you are only 8 days older than your nephew, Kaden? And only 27 days older than your niece, Alona. You were supposed to be born<em> last</em>, but were born <em>first.</em></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I miss you...still today and always. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I held you in my arms, played with your tiny fingers and toes, and kissed your tiny little nose. Mommy knows that you are in Heaven with Jesus, and I am thrilled that one day I will see you again, but some days, I still feel that initial pain, the day they told me that your heart had suddenly stopped beating. I prayed, I begged that they were wrong, but 28 hours of labor later, you were born. I don't regret one single split second for the time that I carried you inside of me. It was almost like "you and me against the world." I love you my son, Samuel Jacob Benedict, now and forever. <em>Happy Birthday my son!! Mommy loves you more than you will <strong>ever</strong> possibly know!</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> If you are a mom who has ever had a stillborn baby that you've held in your arms and clung to the hope that miraculously your baby would take a breath, or a mom who has had a miscarriage, after already so closely bonded that it was like your heart beat as one, and lost that baby...you are not alone. I can feel your pain, and I empathize and sympathize with your feelings. I have been there, and I would be so happy and blessed to take your pain away for you. Truly I would. That is a promise I would make you if I had even an ounce of hope of making it come true. I hurts. It hurts like heck! You will never know how sorry I am for your loss, or that of my own for that matter. But one thing I do believe, is that one day, in Heaven, I will see and hold my son again. One day...I don't ever want to do ANYTHING that would ever stop that from happening. I know that he is with Jesus. He is happy, healthy, content, and that he knows who I am personally, and that Jesus will take wonderful care of him until the day I get there to see him. He will do the same with you. God will not let your child even be alone, sad, lonely, unhappy, hungry, or anything else bad. <em>Only </em>good can come from God! So your son, or daughter, is in a wonderfully remarkably beautiful place. Have no doubt, <em>not the slightest glimmer of doubt,</em> that they are happy and waiting, just for YOU</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> If I can listen to your story, pray with you, share my story with you, support you, walk you through the rough times, or anything else you can think of...please contact me here, or feel free to email me. I will ALWAYS be here to do whatever I can, if only just listen. I will do the very best that I am able to do to help ease your hurt. And please know, no matter how recent it has been, or how long it has been, I can feel the pain, and am ever so sorry for your loss. A child should never die before their parent, in my opinion. Please know that I will do my best to be here for you.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have just finished taking a one year training course through <em>True North</em>, on Charlotte Mason and her theories and philosophies. We were a small group of 11 students and our instructor, Shelia Carroll. This was an awesome year, we bonded together, prayed for one another, and learned and grew close over this past year. These wonderful ladies have become a part of each other's lives in a real way...Sheila Carroll (our instructor), Terri Hitt, Elizabeth Falckh, Nichelle Bilinski, Yuko Muhling, Katrina Snyder McAllister, Annie Zimmerman, Dana Combs, Charissa Deuser, Michele Miller & myself.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> I believe that we all have a common theme this year..."<strong>HOPE"</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> This is the verse that God brought to mind to Annie, which is very fitting for our group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> <em><strong>"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." </strong></em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: red;">MERRY</span> <span style="color: #38761d;">CHRISTMAS</span></strong> to each and every person who reads my blog!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And most of all...<em><span style="color: red;"><strong>HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET JESUS!!!!!</strong></span></em></span></div>
<em><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;"></span></em><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana;"><em>This has been a long year, with both good and bad, as I am sure we all can say. In the past 16 months, I have had 6 surgeries, 8 hospital stays (including a rare kidney infection and blood clots in my right leg.) I also had a basic routine colonoscopy at the end of May, which showed that I had Stage 2 Colon Cancer, that if it hadn't been caught when it was (which I give ALL praise to God for pointing us on the right direction), my colon and intestines would have burst within 2 days, my oncologist told me, and would have been dead with no one even knowing I had cancer. So, now this required the removal of 3/4 of my colon, and 5 ft. of intestines from the right side of my abdomen!! (Mind you I had already had a tumor in my uterus removed, a hysterectomy, a belly button hernia removed, my gallbladder,<strong> and</strong> my appendix removed.) However, now my body started rejecting the stitches on the outside of my stomach from the cancer surgery, for some unknown reason, requiring my surgeon to cauterize each hole that popped open. Just as I was feeling really, really good, and having lost 53 lbs., I developed a hernia from the surgery, and required a mesh net to be sewn into my abdomen. Thinking that was all done, and this time my stomach was stapled closed with 14 staples, and this time that part healed well, but my body started rejecting the</em> <em><u>inside</u></em> <em>stitches holding the mesh net in! UGH!!!! So since then I have had 2 abscesses with staph infections that needed cleaned, packed twice a day, bandaged, and with little to no bending, lifting, etc., for going on the past two months. I still have a small opening for drainage now, and will until Jan. 2nd. I am believing in Jesus precious name, that I am completely healed now!!!! That has made for a long 6 months!! The cancer surgery was at the end of May, when this part all started. I am healing slowly, but surly, and though my body is very worn down and from the stress of it all, I am on Deplin for my MTHFR now, 50,000 units of Vitamin D, Biotin, Progesterone, Kelp, and Probiotics, not counting the other meds for the Fibromyalgia, low thyroid, etc. In time, I will be as healthy as a horse, as the saying goes! <strong>:0)</strong> I want to thank my SW, bffff, true sister, and her family, for opening up her home to me to take care of me each time I was going through all of this, packing my disgusting stomach, making sure I ate healthy, and making me rest and not overdo it!!! So I owe a HUGE thank you to Tammy Smith Cooperrider for all she and her family have done for me when my husband and sons weren't able to stomach the gross severity of it all.</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In the meantime, I was blessed to not only homeschool our 5 kids still at home (well one being our granddaughter), for our <strong>23rd year</strong>, and using Charlotte Mason philosophies to do so, I also was blessed to be able to have taken the online college course, "True North, an in-depth study of Charlotte Mason's theories, philosophies and ways of seeing children as the true people they are." It is based on Charlotte Mason and her way of teaching. It has been a year long course, and I am blessed to say that I have made new friends within our class group and with our instructor, Sheila Carroll. This has been a VERY important course to me this year!! And not only have they been patient with the cancer, fibromyalgia and all, but have been there for me through prayers and encouragement every step of the way. Thank you guys!!! </span></em><br />
