Be Passionate not fearful

Holy Moly,

Yall! I literally started this blog post and quit back in 2020, 
and since then our life has definitely been a rollercoaster ride!

Logging in today to just see where my stats were and if I really wanted to continue my blog, 
I came across these words! Definitely a sign of confirmation that this where I am supposed to be!

"Stop being stuck in the I am not good enough mindset. Fear will paralyze your life 
and make you think that I you are not good enough to accomplish your goals in life that you have set. 
Having Goals and working towards them is the way to work towards the success you are seeking."

So here I am, I have gained so much insight and life lessons since 2020 that I can hardly wait to
share it all with you! So welcome back to my little space, my little slice of Heaven on Earth!
Stay tuned, new posts are coming your way! 
We will be starting our new Homeschool year one month from now, any other homeschooling mommas out there? What curriculum are you using this year? This is year 10 for me!

Be Open to His Will

Hello to all my readers and guests!

So today I want to just want to share from my heart. Life can be so busy and so hard at times. We can feel like we are in a power struggle between chaos and true living. So since I last blogged our life took a totally different direction than the one I thought we were going in. I was praying for my husband to come back to God, I was praying for strength and direction for our home, my kids and myself, I wanted to see our business take off in the time I thought and then in September all the I thoughts and things I wanted just seemed to crash. God was saying you have been praying and now I will answer in the way I see fit. It was a completely different answer than what I thought would ever take place. I say all this to show you that in praying always be open to what God wants.

The answers to my 3 years of praying came with us moving to South Louisiana, we began attending a different church, and my whole family is doing amazing! I never dreamed we would move from the small town we lived in (I grew up there) but we did! The move involved leaving my family that I had been near my whole life. It has been an adjustment for sure for myself and my kids because we were all so close. We bought a beautiful new home and a camper. Our business has a better opportunity of growth where we are, and things are going great. I feel like I can be a better person and give more encouragement now that we moved. I have a more focused vision of what I want to do for God, my blog and our business now. I guess sometimes you have to relocate and refocus to see things from God's prospective. I wasn't really focused on what God wanted to do as much as I was focused on what I wanted to see Him do.

I prayed Jeremiah 29:11, I asked God for a breakthrough for our family but I didn't really allow my mind to focus on what that would mean for our family. When praying always be open and willing to allow whatever it will take to accomplish that to happen. Sometimes it involves hard steps and the breaking of your will but I'm so thankful I was open minded and took that leap of faith into the unknown. He never takes something away without replacing it with something better. I pray this blog has been an encouragement to someone to keep praying for that lost loved one, for that difficult job situation, for whatever you are needing to see a breakthrough in. God is Able to do whatever it is you need done.

Be Blessed,

Trusting God in Uncertainity


 So I wanted to share a little of what has been going on in our lives. So in February of last year my husband got a promotion at work (totally deserved) and we got to come home. He still travels and we still go some but not near like we use too. So that has been a major adjustment and sometimes I miss the road life after traveling for 5 years.

 It has taught me to just trust that God knows what He is doing because it's been a battle. The kids had to adjust and sometimes I think they miss the traveling and all being together in our camper because being home we have way too much time on our hands and not a good enough routine so momma has went into schedule overload mode trying to get us a better schedule for this coming school year that starts September the 2nd! We are still homeschooling and using Abeka! I absolutely love the curriculum and the fact that we can do a 12 month schedule and have a day off each week to just doing some schooling the unschooled way is awesome.

 The adjusting back to being in one place has been hard and not being with my husband alot has really been hard so I try to make sure when he is home that life sort of goes on pause and we spend as much time with daddy as possible. We do things together and try to spend a lot of one on one time as a couple and a family until work calls for the next job.

 So for the last year and 6 months all that has gone on here has been adjusting to home life, fixing up things at our home that had been neglected for a while, adjusting the kids, visiting family and just trying to find our way back into a settled environment (Some days I just want to sneak back into the camper).



Learning to trust in the uncertain times in life is never easy. I want to know what is coming next or where I will be in life a month from now but it never happens that way. Sometimes I just have moments of worry or doubt and you know why? I'm human! We lost our furbaby Lucky of 7 years this past weekend to an immune disorder and life has been a little harder but I say this all to say this. Life is hard, things come our way that isn't always our plans but if we just Trust God through it all and allow His leading we will see His plan. He is more concerned about the journey and progress than the destination. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Until next time....

Be Blessed,

Hello There!!!!

  

  Well Hello to all my readers! I do hope you all have missed me as much as I have missed updating you all on the little things in our life. I first want to apologize that you haven’t heard anything out of me for almost 2 years. It's January of 2018, Isn't that just amazing! We have welcomed into our family a precious baby girl named Olyvia back in April of 2017. We are still using Abeka for our homeschooling curriculum, we have a 3rd grader and a preschooler this year & of course with our little one it’s been an interesting year.

  We are currently in South Texas on a job and it’s absolutely pretty here. We are about 15 miles from the beach & unfortunately it’s not beach weather. We have decided that this year as a family we are going to be working on just letting God lead us where He wants us and not allow negative things to bring us down not just in the physical but also in our spiritual lives. We are attending an awesome church here that is doing the Daniel Fast and are having Bible Studies to help you grow your faith and trust in God.  I have decided to try and start blogging more & just pouring out whatever I feel God has laid on my heart to share. I do hope you all will join in with me! I’m excited to be back after too long of a break but I was praying on what exactly God has for this blog. 

What are you working on in your family & personal life this year?


Be Blessed,

5 Ways to Study the Bible

You know it's been tugging at your heart but finding time has been literally impossible or so it seems. It's time to start even if it is small steps, study little by little but get into God's word.



I want to share with you just a few things that you can do to study the Bible, it will make a difference.

1. Use a bible app that will read for you. We use Youversion. (it also has a bible story app for kids)
It will read to you and you can highlight the verses that catch your attention so that you can come back to it and really study that verse. Every night we read about 3 chapters together so it is fun for the kids to hear someone other than me reading.

2. Those verses that you highlighted or the verses that you have been having on your heart, write them, memorize them. They will be your comfort through the hard times. Writing something is almost always a win for me to remember it, like when I get to the store and remember my list I wrote still on the refrigerator :)! In school they made us write things we wanted to remember for the test so I brought that into my adult life.

3. Prayer! Praying before you start reading, ask God to show you what you are reading. Ask God to help you to be able to really get what He wants you to get from these scriptures. I don't just want it to be said I read the bible, but I want to know it so that I can use it as my sword and shield in this world.

4. B.R.E.A.D Chart and or any daily reading chart. Our church is using the B.R.E.A.D. chart this year and we are loving it. They have an adult chart and children's. We do both so that way the kids are getting something and so are we. Right now we are reading about David and King Saul (always an excited story).

5. Get a friend or family member involved. Studying together is always good because you may see something I didn't and the same for me. It gives you an accountability partner.


I hope these tips help out. They should only be a starting point. Pray and ask God how you can further learn His word and apply it to your daily walk. I hope you are all having a great day!

How do you study the Bible? What tips can you give others reading today?

Be Blessed,

10 Must haves when living in a RV

Hello everyone! As you all know we travel in our camper a lot because of my husband’s job. Today I want to share with you all 10 few things that makes it more like home and lot more convenient. I have been wanting to do this post for some time but life has been so busy!



 Here are 10 things that I love to keep in our camper!

1.       My crockpot is used more than anything else probably. I love quick and easy crockpot meals and especially during the summer. It definitely helps to not have my camper heated from the stove.

2.       Command Hooks! They are so easy to use and can hold many different things since there are different sizes to choose from. I have them by the door to hold keys, I use them to hang things on the wall like my broom and mop, calendars and even pictures frames.

3.       My shark rocket ultra-light upright vacuum is a must for the camper. It is small and fits under my bed and can suck the life out of the carpet…ok not really but it surely does suck up dirt you didn’t even know was there!

4.       My fry daddy is small but does the job for our family and I easily store it in my drawer under my couch. It is a must if you don’t want to deal with grease in a pot, storing greasing somewhere else or having to throw it out to use your pot for something else.

5.       My tea pot is a must  because my kids love sweet tea and it’s cheaper for us to make 3 gallons every few days then buy it and it just taste so much better.

6.       Is your shower and/or tub dark? Ours was and even with two lights in the bathroom it just wasn’t helping so we bought a ledbar light that is battery operated and used Velcro to put it on the ceiling in the tub. Also in the shower we upgraded our shower head, The Spa Oxygenics shower head is awesome!

7.       If your camper doesn’t have a washer/dryer then laundry is usually done at a laundromat. We upgraded from the flimsy cloth baskets to a rolling hard plastic one….definitely helps a lot!

8.       Our bed wasn’t the most comfortable but the help of a 4” mattress pad we definitely rest better.

9.       Trips to the store can be annoying and especially when the nearest store isn’t so close. In Ohio the closest store was 20 miles away. Thankfully we had bought a Haier small deep freezer to go in the one spot that was open in our camper. So we don’t have to go shopping every day.

10.   And last but not least our Bosch single serve coffee maker is a definite. We absolutely love it and the coffee is available on Amazon.

What are somethings you have to have in your camper? We love our home away from home and try to always find ways to make every inch of our space useful. I’ll be sharing more later. I want to do some more organizing.
