Cozy Up

Hey y'all it's been a long time...

I don't know about you, but 'round here it seems like October has just flown by.  I haven't blogged once this month! I can't wait for things to slow down.  We've been so busy with construction, school, and canning there hasn't been much time for anything else.  I keep telling myself it's just for a season.  I'm trying to be thankful for each moment instead of being overwhelmed...sometimes.. that's a hard thing to do. =)

Tomorrow will be a big day for us!  We're supposed to wake to our first substantial snowfall of the season.  The kids couldn't be more thrilled.  Of course, this drastic change in weather meant lots of preparation for today.  Making up some yummy treats was top of the list. =)  We attempted to prepare the yard for winter although we didn't quite finish. *sigh*  However we did get school done, clean all the animal pens, pick up the house, dig out all the winter coats, scarves, gloves and snow suites.  Finally, we made a delicious soup that is simmering away for tomorrow evening.  I'm sure the warm liquid will be a welcomed change from the bitter cold...and what would a snowy night be without a slice of scrumptious pumpkin bread?  All we need now is some homemade hot coco, fuzzy socks and LOTS of laughter.

Hope y'all stay safe and warm.

Until then...

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
