Purpose Statement

By
The purpose of Lighthouse Keepers is:

- To teach women what our role is before God, our husbands, in the home, and in ministry to others; to train mentors, and to mentor those who have a desire to grow in the Lord (Titus 2:3-5)

- To provoke one another to love and good works and encourage them by organizing and bringing meals to the sick, grieving, and those who have had a baby. Also to send cards to designated missionaries and to those women who are sick or grieving. To meet the needs of the body of Christ by organizing and preparing meals for designated church functions (Hebrews 10:24)

- To strive together to be more unified in the body, soul, and spirit; and to hold one another accountable for Christian growth. (Ephesians 4:3)

Get Organized!

I’m a bit strange. No, really. I’m sure you never would have guessed, had you just looked at me, but I’m here to tell you, it’s true. I enjoy organizing. Give me a huge pile of tangled yarn or a bulging cupboard that continually tries to spit it’s contents all over the counter when opened and I’m happier than a turkey the day after thanksgiving. <heaves a deep sigh of relief> I’m so glad to get that off my chest. Does this mean my house is always perfectly kept? Not even close. But ask me for a light piece of patterned purple cardstock or a new bottle of peach soap and I can run and get it for you.  I would like to make a clear distinction before beginning to share with you some things that have been a help to me in getting organized. Being organized and having a clean house are two very different things. Houses get messy if they are lived in. I’m pretty sure mine gets dirty even when I’m not in it very often. I like to blame the puppy. <...

This is My Story!

Jesus has been in my life for as long as I can remember. My parents made sure that us as children were soaked in Jesus and His Word. I accepted him as Lord of my life during evening prayer time shortly after I turned 5. I am so grateful that I did it at young age and was able to grow up in it.  I was homeschooled straight through school and as a homeschool mom now I can see what a super hard, time consuming commitment it is! I am so grateful that my parents made that sacrifice. In my teenage years I was very involved in our church's youth group, at that time God brought a group of young people who were so hungry for Jesus and were not satisfied with the status quo and kept going deeper and pulling those around them deeper and deeper into Jesus and his word. Looking back I can see how extremely blessed I was to have experienced that been surrounded with people like that at a critical time in my life. In last months blog post my sister Sherry talked about her commitment to...

Two Lives; One Identity

Looking back at my growing up years, I can see why I may have been confused about many things. We were the type of family that went to Mexico for the winter, and came here, to Ontario, for the summer. In Mexico we went to school where we learned to read and write High German and learned to say the Katachism from memory. The general behaviour and way of living was vastly different from Ontario. In Ontario we worked on the fields wearing the type of clothing everyone else wore for work, which was pants with a cap. Our hair was also styled and cut to fit in with those around us. We normally had a TV int he house, which was so different from Mexico where it would have been viewed as a sin. (I think it was here too, but maybe too available to resist) I remember there were Sunday's when we came home from church and my dad would throw the TV out because of the conviction; only to come home with another one a few weeks later. When the summer would drag into fall we had to attend publ...
