I strive to be a good help meet to Steve and good mother to my 18 children. We have been blessed with children both by birth and adoption. Our adopted children have all come with some challenges and as such our life is not easy but God never promised it would be. We hope to be sanctified daily. We are passionate about education that gives people of all ages a love of learning. We are also passionate about good food, food the way God intended it to be eaten and as such are working at establishing our sustainable farm to provide for ourselves and our community.

Moving?

We are anxiously awaiting news about whether a family that has expressed intent to buy our house here will be making an offer in the next week.  Apparently they have some tax issues to straighten out but our realtor is pretty sure they will be moving forward.  We are excited yesterday to find out that a property we had a lot of interest in came back on the market.  It had sold earlier in the year (it is a foreclosure) but apparently that has fallen through and its back on the market at a signifigantly reduced price.  There is an additional 20 acres behind it (the house comes with 20 acres now) that our realtor is pursuing to see if they will sell.  40 acres would give us a nice jumping off place for our farm and the possibility of picking up more land around the area is good since its not heavily populated.  The second piece of land borders state land (its a mountain) which would be great for the animals since they would not be up against someone else's home.

We know God will provide exactly where He wants us to be - we just need to be patient!

On another note, I picked up a used copy of a book called, "The Sovereignty and Goodness of God" by Mary Rowlandson. She was a puritan who was captured during Prince Phillip's war.  I hope to delve into it more later today.
