My Yellow Rose!

 

My Yellow Rose of a MOM!

Today is my mom's birthday! Yea her!! I am writing this blog just for her.

Many times has she shined ! My mom is a light from God in this world. My mom has done a lot of transforming over the years and adapted to many things happening in her life. Mom is a survivor even in the biggest droughts. She has taught us how to be one as well. If I can say one things about her that is the biggest and best is that no matter what she has always loved us and always will until her last breath.
Mom ,reminds me of a yellow rose! She is bright,delicate,fancy and delightful, but try to break her off her stem and she will poke you with her thorns! She brings joy to me when she is around . She did the best with what she had and I think we all turned out pretty well!! I miss you mom and love you!! Have an AMAZING birthday!!

To Home school or not to Home school ?

To Home school or not to Home school that is the question?

We are thinking about Home Schooling Abbi and Lyman.  They have some really great programs here that would suit them great. Abbi has always been a mediocre  student BUT is smarter than she lets on and does not like to do the work that leads to the test that leads to passing . Lyman ,He is a good student no complaints really . Never have we based  their educational value on their grades .
 We (I mean I) am constantly battling with Abbi about her grades. I feel that if I have to be such a watch dog over her and the grades that I might as well be the one making sure she is doing her work and taking her tests. By no means are we wanting her to have an easy out . These programs they offer are tough and  very time consuming!

My life long goal has always to been get my children through high school and on to a higher education. I do not want them to have to constantly fight and battle in the crazy world like we have had to do. What kind of an example have  we been if we cant even get her to keep her grades up now there is probably no way she will go to college. Argg mental and physical frustration  has over taken me. SO I am laying it in God's hands. Praying, praying, praying and more praying!

I just need some input from both sides of the fence. I am not asking for arguments or a huge debate.

We are living in The Un-Christian era...Christians should attempt to read this book.

Un-Christian by David Kinnaman

Here is some Quotes:
Eight out of ten students participate in church during their teenage years, but most of them will take a permanent detour from active faith at some point soon after they get their driver’s licenses. . . . The vast majority will cross over to the other side; pronouncing Christianity boring, irrelevant, and out of touch. . . . If a young person is not challenged by hands-on personal ministry, their faith will likely be sidetracked and even sabotaged. For some, that hands-on experience is a mission project across the ocean. For others, it’s a role in a family production or a place behind the ladle at a soup kitchen.

But within a decade, most of these young people will have left the church and will have placed emotional connection to Christianity on the shelf. For most of them, their faith was merely skin deep. (page 74)

More of the same lightweight exposure to Christianity, where a decision for Christ is portrayed as simple and costless, will fail to produce lasting faith in young people. (page 76)

Do not want this for my young people! I want to live Godly GOOD!! My Children will live Godly Good ! Forgiving and moving on from where I was yesterday! Dear God please forgive me and Place us where you NEED us most! We want to be Godly People to other Godly and Un godly people! AMEN
