Building Faith

When we started this journey, it was a jump moment.  Jump… and trust the Lord to hold on to us during the free fall.  I heard it over and over when we started out “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even…

A Window Story

Do you see that?!  God is good yall!  Not like you didn’t already know that, but let me tell you the amazingness He pulled off today!  We decided to take some money from the insulation fund to order the last window – it takes two weeks to get it and Thursday the lows are forecasted…

7 Quick Takes – 10-18-2013

Up this week: the last window, insulation good and bad, the Not Yard Sale, weekend church camp, a surprise from BabyGirl and going all old school.-1-I had intended on telling The Story of the New Window Because We Serve Such an Awesome God, but once it hit a full page I decided to publish it…

One Thousand Gifts – Go!

I joined a Woman’s Bible Study Life Group.  The study is One Thousand Gifts.  Ouch.  The basis of the book is to see the thanksgiving in every day.  1,000 of them.  1,000?  1,000!  30?  Oh, 30 I can do.  That’s easy.  That’s like Thanksgiving month when you post on Facebook one thing every day for…

That unavoidable question

Life groups started up again.  Coming with it the inevitable Intro Moment that I dread.  I always hate that.  What do I say?  Let’s be honest, to say that our lives revolve around living in, while building, a tiny off grid house makes people react in strange ways.  If I leave it out, it feels…

Returning to Mass

Sometimes I am a slow learner.  Or listener.  I can be a procrastinator when I am unsure even if I deeply desire to do something.  Going to Mass again would be one of those things.  We are a duel denomination house.  I have never been sure how to balance the two.  But I have had…

7 Quick Takes – 8/23/13

Up this week:  Total randomness!  Back to blogging, busy week, we are the Ingalls (kinda), relationship building, a letter to loved ones, Pinterest and Happy Anniversary to us!- 1 -Blog, oh blog, how have I missed thee.  It has been 12 looooong days since I have had the ability to write.  I have concluded that…

7 Quick Takes – 7/19/2013

Up this week: More thoughts on this off grid situation.  It’s a lot more than I think most people realize.  Or at least it was for me! - 1 -Yea, I know.  I haven't written much the last few weeks.  No, we haven't been doing anything spectacular like backpacking across Europe.  Nor hiking the Appalachians.  Yet,…

We got this solar thing… I think

I would be lying if I said I was happy about the power verdict.  If I am really honest, I am currently not all that thrilled with the Lord’s "It's for your good".  It was much easier to be positive about it last week.  You know, when we had a freak cold front move through…
