Seeking Edification

Dear Siestas, Friends and family
I have been trying to find places of edification for myself lately in why I have made the choices in my life I have made. I know they are ordained by Our Lord but when you are in a position that finances are so difficult, Your van breaks down, increase gas prices limit your mobility, increase food prices limit your ability to bring in sufficient amount of food and you are an able body, you need a reminder of why. Why do you stay home? Why do you homeschool? Why, why, why?

This speaker does not give why- but gives me a reminder of what is in my heart!

  1. Angie,
    God is there for you. Keep seeking and keep asking and He will answer. He will provide for you. You stay home because God has told you to. You homeschool be cause the alternative is probably not great.

    I had this discussion with God just the other day. I was whining because we have not gone anywhere on vacation and we soo want to. God just reminded me that most people have 2 incomes so they have more resources. To have a lot of kids and stay home it is going to require some sacrifices. Those things are temporal we are investing in the eternal.
    The No Other Gods study is really helping me through this. Go read Isaiah 55:1-9. This really spoke to me this week and I hope it will offer you some comfort now.
    Please know you are being lifted up by this Siesta!
    Love you!

  2. Just thinking about my days staying home with the kids gives me warm feelings of satisfaction. They all turned out well. I was there for them. I oontinue to be. An available mom is a gift and a sacrifice--what you invest in today will be returned to you! Hang in there. With my prayers, Annette

Whisperings

Some of you know I have lots of children. Seven to be exact, and most of them are older and Most of them are young men except for one boy.   Lately one of my youngmen have been struggling. He works at an amusement park, and is around people all day long who standards, or morals do not quite match what we(through God's grace) have tried to instill in him. All day long he is whispered at about what he should have, and what he should be doing at "his age".  Today while reading the Word these verses stood out.... Proverbs 23 15  My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 16  Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. 17  Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the  Lord  all the day long His heart started to "envy" what these whisperers were saying to him and started to feel like he has been missing out on something in life.  Really?  How do we envy sinners?  How do we as professing believers say "

Day two

still trying to get the routine established But I am so grateful I have this privilege to disciple these two and guide these two in their education. Thank you Lord Angie
