Here is a message from Sylvia:
“I am enjoying the Homekeeper’s Journal, I hope you are too! It is a way to keep your thoughts about life together in one place online. Please join me each Wednesday to jot down your thoughts. Its so encouraging to read what others are encountering in life and how they are leaning on God!”

What’s happening in my home…

In my kitchen… I’ve been slowly deep cleaning, kids of spring cleaning the kitchen. Robin (dh) is trying to really limit his sodium intake so we are doing alot of counting! With the time of year there are countless cups of hot cocoa and for movie nights, popcorn cooked on the stove.

With our marriage…Robin and I have had alot of health issues lately. He’s struggling with his blood pressure and some dental issues. Hopefully he’s coming to the resolution of it all. I’ve been feeling achey and old! We put our treadmill smack in the living room…hint, hint… Other than that, we’re in this together!! I am so thankful for that! We started attending a Bible Study together. It felt weird to get in the van ALONE and go. It was fun!!

With the children…I was just telling a friend that we are much less busy than we used to be. It is so true. The kids have given up almost all of their outside activities except those church related. Outside of church related activities, I have one child playing an hour per week of soccer. That’s it!! They are enjoying focusing more on relationships. I am trying to constantly remind them that we have the time to invite their friends over!!

Around the homestead…It’s c-c-c-cold! The snow is old and icy! It’s suppose to be in the 40’s F. tomorrow though! YAY!! The kids and I are slowly decluttering and I hope they can help me soon with some painting projects around the house. I’ve kind of stopped knitting for now because of some neck pain issues. But I doubt I’ll stop for long!

In my “Inner Man”…A lighter schedule means more time to read, to study my Bible, to pray. It feels goooooood, no awesome!! I started reading Beth Moore’s “Get Out of That Pit.” It’s great! I listened to the related sermons online. I want to do my own little study on “God my Deliverer” and “God my Stronghold”.
