Lighthouse Keepers

This blog was hard in coming together for me. I just had all kinds of ideas in my head  that just didn't come together right. I've done lots of journaling since I was about 10, but  you just can't be as transparent with the world as you can be with yourself. I will attempt  to share a little bit about what I believe the Lord has been teaching me.  (Source) First of all, I'm someone whose mind can go all over the place in a short amount of  time. I see way too many things I could be doing as a mother and wife with no time to  actually accomplish those things. So I try to do a little bit of many things. And I can't really  excel in any one thing. For me, it's a source of real frustration when I just don't know what  kind of mother I need to be. As I've been seeking for answers, I feel the Lord has been  trying to slow me down and focus on those things which are truly important. My  relationship with the Lord and my husband, t...

(Source) Have you ever prayed for more faith? What if a trail where to come your way, would you still hold on to the  Lord? Would you still rather cry out to God our Father than listen to  people's advise? I wanna write a bit of what we've experienced this  past year, hoping and praying that it will be a blessing to someone  who reads this.  2015 was the most difficult but most blessed year of my life, I have grown so much closer to the Lord, A year ago December  2 - 2014 we found out that I have cancer, just hearing that put fear  into me, I was 20 weeks pregnant at the time plus we had a little  toddler, I couldn't understand why something like that would happen to  me especially at my age I couldn't sleep that night after spending a  long day at the hospital I cried out to the Lord all night until a  thought came to mind and that thought was this: And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him saying,  Lord, if You ...

Even though it is February, I don't want to write about flowers, chocolates, and mushy lovey dovey stuff. I want to write about something that happens all year round to many different people. Anxiety! As far back as I can remember I had a fear of almost everything; from water, to dogs, to getting sick, I feared and worried about everything. Those fears only increased as I got older. One of the biggest things that sparked my anxiety was a sudden onset of some strange symptoms with my health. When I was 16 I started getting these episodes where half of my body would go numb, I couldn't see clearly or focus or speak clearly. I was honestly terrified but I didn't tell anyone. The episodes happened a couple of times a year. It wasn't until about 7 years later when I was married and had two children that I finally went to see a doctor. He sent me to get her an MRI and to see a neurologist. In this time I prayed a lot. "Be anxious for nothing,  but in everything...

Did that just happen? Really 2015 is over? These years really do go by too fast! A new year is upon us once more. It is a good time to reflect on what we learned in the past year and to think about God’s purpose for our lives. One thing I can tell you is that even though I started writing some of what I will share months ago, I wait with actually getting it all down until that clock is about to strike midnight and that calendar is about to open to a new page; a new year!  The excitement builds up you know, and the closer to the new year we get, the better this post should be, right? (Besides, I was only asked to write this three month ago.)  Ok… I admit it…It actually has more to do with this bad last minute habit thing I have going on. If I were to make resolutions this year, that should probably be one thing I should change. Our homemade gift exchange at church was a fine example of why I need to work on that one. However, I really do find a new year exciting. M...

Isn’t it wonderful that we can celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ this Christmas season?! ( Original Post )    One homeschool morning a few years ago now, I had just settled down at the table with the days lessons with our son who found it very challenging to sit and put his brain to work on something that was not his idea of being worth thinking about.   We heard a car stop close by and out stepped a couple of nicely dressed people and of course, one had to be walking towards our door. I groaned inwardly and I then told one of our daughters to tell this lady that their mother was not available. It must have been the Holy Spirit opening my eyes to this opportunity and I quickly changed my mind. “Wait, let me get the door”, I said. I put a smile on my face, opened the door, and this is how I greeted this woman who was here to share from her Jehovah’s Witness training: “Isn’t it great to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savi...
