About Me

This is a place for me to share with other women what I have learned over the years and a place for me to be The Country Homemaker that I am and be myself. Linda , aka Simple Countrygirl... It is my desire to bring honor and glory to my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. (The True Bread of Life ) It is a place where I long to share the talents the Lord has given me in the area of my Keeper at Home Duties of Homemaking, Being a godly Woman in the Lord ,Modest Dress, Headcovering (for prayer), Pregnancy, Childbirth ,Childhood Diabetes, Single Parenting, Child Training , Home Schooling ,Nutrition ,Meal Planning , Shopping & Saving Tips, Cooking , Baking, Gardening, Herbal Things, Quilting , Sewing , Crocheting , Cross-stitch , Soap making, Goat Raising , Rabbit Raising , and other Animal Care. It is also a place where I might when time allows share how to do your own Web Design, How to Draw and Paint, Home Decorating, Home Businesses for the Keeper at Home and much much more, if the Lord tarries and allows me the time to share these things. As you glean from the pages here please pray for me as the spirit leads you, I am a Sister in the Lord to those of you who are Born Again Bible Believing and Following Christians. I am no more spiritual than any of you and I do not wish to be looked at as anything more then just an instrument of the Lord's Use in Him doing His Will in our lives. Pray for those who would happen upon this site who are not His and are in need of his Saving Grace and Mercy, Who are seeking Him and will Find Him if they are sincere in their search for Him and If you are one of those who comes here seeking Him or seeking information on Homemaking, May the Lord use this site to Bless you and show you His Ways and His Will for your life.
