About Me

Greetings!

We have given birth to six children physically and four were born from our hearts through adoption.

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!

Happy Birthday Bekah Girl

Hello Friends! As many of you already know, today is my Bekah Girls Birthday! She is a delight to both her father and mother. We are honored to watch her grow in the Fathers Grace and become the Handmaiden He desires for her to be. Thank you for all your prayers regarding my Joe. He returned after being broke down three times and experiencing many unusual circumstances. I am blessed to have a husband who daily lays down his "self" to give to us. The children and I enjoy a peaceful home and are cared for because of his great love for us. Lord willing, my parents will arrive in KS on the 27th in the late evening. Flights are being canceled due to weather conditions so we are unsure of the Lord plan. Daddy called me today to say that as soon as he hears his flight is canceled he will be in the car and on his way to KS. He and Momma are such a treasure to us. We are eager to have them here. We are all dreaming of sitting at their feet listening to their sweet voices, feeling the touch of their kisses and hugs, and simply being in their presence! Our prayer is that the Lord would use us to bless them and encourage them as they see their lifework in their children and their children's children. May the Lord continue to work on our hearts and home and create in us a good work all for HIS GLORY! Dear friends, we pray you enjoy your Christmas Celebration as you abide in His presence! With much love, Mrs. Joseph Wood

Some Favorite Photos That My Bekah Girl Has Taken!





Funny Things My Children Have Said:






As Matthew approached his fifth birthday he seemed disappointed. When I questioned him he said, "Momma? Can't I please just skip five and be six?!" I replied, "No... you have to be five first. Why don't you want to be five?" After a pause and with a discouraged countenance Matthew said, "Because five is odd and I don't want to be odd Mommy!"


After all the children had their dentist visit Samuel began explaining how he had such good results. He said, "If you want to be like me all you have to do is only brush your teeth sometimes... the rest of the time... EAT THE TOOTHPASTE"


Bekah walked in while Matthew and I were working on his addition flashcards. She asked, "Matthew what are you doing?" "Doing my Plusing," He replied. I said, "You mean doing your addition" With confidence he turns to me and says, "Yes, that's it's middle name."


Bethany was helping Josiah look for beef cattle online when she came to me and said, "Momma, they had these really sad looking cattle that were super skinny called 'Commercial Cattle'. Momma that's all they would be good for - there wasn't enough meat on them for anything else." When I asked her more about what she meant it was clear she thought that these cows were used IN commercials for the T.V. All of us started laughing and kept giggling about it throughout the night everytime we thought about it again. My Beth is just too sweet!


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!"


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.
