Bought with a Price





About Me

Greetings!
My name is Jeanette Wood. I am the wife to my best friend, Joe and the mother to ten blessings. We have been home educating our children since birth- our oldest is 19 and our baby is 4. We have given birth to six children physically and four were born from our hearts through adoption. We are currently living in Topeka Kansas- moving from our home state of CA on the first of July 2008. Moving is nothing new to the Wood family. We have moved 16 times in the last 17 years. We never know where this journey will take us yet we are confident that He has only good plans for us and we will follow wherever He leads! We love to live simply and are filled with Thanks everyday for the good work He has begun in our lives. Grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy a visit with me while I allow you to peek into our hearts and home!

Be on guard!
Don't go looking for more encouragement in your Ministry at home if it means you're neglecting your Ministry to do so.

Blog Name Change

Hello Friends!
The Wood family has a new blog name as you might have noticed. Since we were no longer on property we thought AB-Ranch wasn't an accurate description of where we were at the moment. After much discussion the children came up with this name, "Bought with a price." as a reminder to us that no matter where this journey in life takes us we should remember that we have been bought with a price we are not our own. It is our desire to live each day for His purpose not our own! The children came up with other names and voted on them. The winner, Elisha, gets to make cookies with mommy tomorrow and since Sammy was his helper... Sammy gets to pick which cookies we make! It was fun coming up with a blog name that represents the entire family. We will continue sharing our lives with you and the good work the Father continues to do in our lives. We hope you all know how much you mean to the Wood family. We consider your friendship priceless! If any of you should ever find yourself in Kansas know that we will always have room for you!

Oh, and something that my Joe mentioned the other day.... we use to live in the exact center of CA. Now we live in the center of the United States! Fun!!!

On behalf of the entire Wood family....
Mrs. Joseph Wood

I'm new to your blog and look forward to reading what you have to say.

May I ask you something... and please tell me it's none of my business, if you wish. :-) But what would cause a family to move 16 times in 17 years? My roots run deep on my land... and I'm wondering what would cause a family to never really put down any roots?

Our former neighbors were Salvation Army captains so they moved every 2-3 years... so maybe you're in the ministry or your husband is in the service or something?

God bless you in your new state and home~ Andrea

I am so glad you are finally in your new home. What a great adventure. I was born in Topeka Kansas and moved when I was 1 - my Dad was in the Air Force. I have never been there since!

Love your name and how you got it. I enjoy your post and love to hear how you and family are doing. I haven't moved very much so I can't relate much with your new beginning. Sending Well wishes as your journey continues on. Blessings, rilda *U*

Sunday, July 20, 2008 - New Blog Name - New Home - Beautiful Family

Posted by WildThings
It is inspiring how you describe changing your blog name - why and how. Reading of your new home and your attitude and how it has affected your children is encouraging to me as we have moved alot as well. I did not know we could change our blog name but it is nice to know we can if we feel a need to. Your writings make me want to call you and ask if my family can come to visit. Thanks for writing - the encouraging words are reaching out to many others. May the Lord continue to bless and lead you. May I remember we are 'bought with a price'.
Sincerely,
Michele Petit

Fun Moments With My Children!





Funny Things My Children Have Said:






Timothy and Elisha were talking about all the contents of the Ark of the Covenant. When Elisha told Timothy that God had put the 10 commandments in it. Timothy replied with confidence, "Well he had too so that Moses wouldn't break them again!"


After several trips to the emergency room with my Timothy. I said, "Timothy, you really must stop hurting yourself like this. Each time we go through that hospital door it is costing Daddy 100.00!" He sweetly replied, "Is there another way we can get in Mommy?"


As Ezekiel and I poured over the garden magazines we ran across the brussel spouts. Ezekiel had never seen them before and with excitment said, "Momma, Look! They sell bite size lettuce!"


As we prepaired to vacume seal our newly butchered chickens. My Beth-Joy said, "Mom I know we want to seal our chickens but I can't figure out how we are going to get that chicken through that skinny slot!"


Rebekah was blessing me and cleaning out my pj drawer when she came across a new bra that I had purchased. In all seriousness she said, "Mom I just can't figure out why you would buy a bra thats only good for 18 hours!"


Jed was about five years old when he ran out to the kitchen and met me with excitement saying, "Mom I think God made my wife last night! I counted my ribs and now I am missing one!"


Matthew and Samuel were playing when the girls and I overheard them and couldn't help but giggle. Matthew wanted to play house and have a baby but Samuel informed him that, "You can't have a baby, Matthew- you're only a 2T"


While driving I often lose cell phone reception with my Joe. I never realized how much the little ones were listening until one day I overheard them say, "Mom and Dad broke up again!" "No Mommy broke up with Daddy" replied Matthew. "No! It was daddy. He broke up with Mommy again!" Replied Sammy. As I listend I thought it was a good thing no one was ease dropping into their coversation- they would think my Joe and I had a pretty rocky marriage! LOL


While on one of our "girls days" Bethany was having a hard time falling asleep. Grandma encouraged her to count sheep. After a few moments of slience we heard Beths sweat voice say, "Thump" We all thought about it for a moment and then Grandma asked, "Beth what was the thump about?" "Oh, one of my sheep ran into the fence.. that's all Grandma." We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour.
