Homemaking 101

I love your blog. It makes me feel peaceful, like I just MIGHT be able to pull off this home keeping thing ... and learn to love doing it! I have ADD so I don't really clean so much as I flit from one thing to another.

Dearest Melissa, I definitely do not believe in coincidence. Finding you tonight was Holy Spirit and nspired. I’m so grateful that God crossed our paths. I look forward to becoming completely free of my two “job” experiences. I am a lover of stories. Especially the ones where God was there in the midst. I loved reading your testimony. It was difficult, but it was so refreshing to see regardless of our circumstances, His word is truth. He will never leave us. I am a mom of 5 children. 3 biological and 2 adopted that we fostered ( not siblings) and a grandmother of 5. I am a wife, of 38 years, and I work for one of the largest mission organizations in the world. “Campus Crusade For Christ.” Regardless of the betrayals by 3 men who were supposed to love and protect me. I consider myself so incredibly blessed that God chose simple ol me to be a light for others. You are such an inspiration and I look forward to being cyber friends. Thank you for your obedience to His calling of writing a blog. Your blog has become my very favorite. I truly could read all night. I must be at work by 7:30 am tomorrow, but as soon as I have a break, I will be back. Thanking Jesus for this most wonderful evening spending time with you. God Bless you … - Cheryl

I LOVE what you said about being present, and I am often guilty of trying to escape behind a computer while my 11 mo. old plays by himself! I should be present more often, so thanks for helping me realize that. - Amanda

This speaks volumes of being a stay at home mom. I can certainly relate with these exact feelings and connections to contentment. It is such a hard life and we work so hard but find ourselves lost in our own ideas of what we want and how we imagined things to play out. What an inspiration of purpose. I love it and thank you so much for sharing. - Alexandra

I made the gluten free version [of your 7 Up Biscuits]. I added a teaspoon of yeast. These biscuits came out so nice. Very soft. Will let them ride a bit longer next time. Thank you they were so much more tasty than gluten free Bisquick.
