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!

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

A Delightful Sabbath!

Hello Friends!

Today was such a wonderful restful day in the Lord. I pray you each had homes filled with His peace and presence!

 

Last night my Beth-Joy and I assisted one of our milk goats, remember we have Kinder goats, with the birth of her twins. It was such a sweet time; Violet rested throughout her labor with her head resting in our laps. She wanted us with her and would cry if we got up to move about. Of course this made us feel very honored and we were excited to spend the time praying for her and helping her with the delivery. She delivered healthy baby girls one of which looks exactly like her momma and the other has the same markings but is a shade of brown instead of black. They are both quite sweet and weighed in at 4lbs 6oz. and 3lbs 5oz. We expect Sugar to go into labor tonight or early Monday morning. Of course we have four more does that will be kidding soon.

 

When my Joe awoke to let the sheep out of their pen he was greeted by three new baby lambs. They are the sweet looking things! I will have to share photos soon! We still have one ewe awaiting delivery- Blessings are abounding here at AB- RANCH. We give our Father all the Honor and Glory for the good work He continues to do in our lives!

 

Since I was up last night helping Violet deliver and with the time change and all... I am a bit worn out and think I will have to end our chat here. I do pray that each of you are delighting yourselves in Him. Don't short change yourself... spend time with God! He wants to talk with you!!

 

With much love,

Mrs. Joseph Wood (Jeanette)

Hi Jeanette,
How wonderful that you are raising sheep! I've just begun to learn to spin, and would love to have a small flock of sheep one day. I saw that you mentioned raising some of the lambs for meat. What do you do with the remaining sheep and their fleeces? Your blog is lovely!
Love in Christ,
Cherylann H.

Some Favorite Photos That My Bekah Girl Has Taken!





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.
