Priorities. Are they According to God’s Plans, or Mine?

Where are my priorities?

Do you ever feel like your priorities get messed up? I know I do.     Are your priorities according to God’s plans? Last year when I started this site, I had a vision. To encourage and inspire christian homemakers.  It was a Godly vision and it became the mission of this blog. But somewhere along the line, my priorities got screwed up a bit. In my goal to achieve this vision for A Proverbs 31 Wife. I missed my [...]

Sunday Walks

One of hubby and I’s favorite thing to do, is take nature/Sunday walks. Admittedly as noisy as we are, we scare off all nature that can run or fly away, but we still enjoy it. A couple Sundays ago, my mom and the kids came up, and we all decided to go for a walk. The boys had binoculars and mom, sis and I had cameras. Yup, fun fun! I thought I would share a few, because, well, we are [...]

Can You Fall Out of Love?

Fall out of love?

Can a Couple Fall Out of Love? We hear the term “fall in love” used a lot, but do people fall out of love? Or does “falling” have anything to do with love? I’ve wonder about that for awhile now and I still really don’t have an answer. But I do know this, Love is a choice. I don’t think “warm and fuzzy” was how God felt when he sent his son for our redemption, and I’m positive that’s not [...]

Celebrating 50 Years

A 50th

Hey y’all! As promised, I am back with some pictures of the past week and my reason for missing from the blogging world. In a world where divorce is common, and the average marriage doesn’t last even 15 years. 50 years together is certainly worth celebrating!  Because Jason’s family is scattered across the states, it’s quite a feat to get most of his family together the way we did. (Of course there were still people missing) And of course our [...]

Thanks on a Thursday

Thanks on a Thursday

So, I’ve had a rough week. Actually I should say month. After being there almost four years, I am quitting my current job at a childcare center in favor of better hours and better pay.  I will now be a cleaning lady and babysitter. God has been good, giving me these positions.  In fact I will be quitting work but not losing any income because I have cleaning and babysitting jobs all lined up. Why am I having a rough [...]

Springtime on the Farm

DSCN5400

 Growing up on a farm I remember spring as one of my favorite seasons.   The baby animals were the main reason. However, calves and baby chicks are not near as cute as the babies we saw yesterday. Warning, these pictures may cause cuteness overload! These are haired sheep, they shed their coats in the spring and because their tails don’t need cropped they look like goats during the summer. A brand new baby! Aren’t they just too cute! Shy [...]

Springtime!

 With spring just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the garden. Even if you only have room for a very small garden I would still recommend planting one.  If you don’t want to till a garden in your backyard you can do like our neighbor and plant peppers and squash right in your front flower bed!  Or if you are like a friend of mine who lives in an apartment, many plants do well in window boxes.
