Springtime in February

     We have had some unseasonably warm temperatures lately, tricking us into thinking spring is around the corner. Hopefully it isn't. We have a good mountain snow pack and it would be tragic to see it melt too quickly. It sure does make a person feel good to get out and walk or go for a bike ride. We'll enjoy it while we can because I"m sure Old Man Winter will visit again.

     I just finished another book about being a stay at home mom. I just love books of that nature. Since staying at home is so counter-cultural, I enjoy reading someone's testimony of why they made that choice.

     I think in many situations it boils down to: Which matters more to me, raising godly offspring or having material goods? Please don't misunderstand, I'm not criticizing women who absolutely have to work. I'm looking inward and asking myself  how much do I trust God/

     I told my husband I was looking forward to being unemplioyed this summer and he looked a bit alarmed, but when he realized that I will be home with Jonathan and also doing several home maintenance projects he doesn't have time for, he understood my reasoning.

     Well, better get ready to open the library doors. Bless you all.

Hi Denise...I have tried several times to post comments and for some reason Homestead Blogger doesn't allow me to! I hope this goes through. I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed reading your posts and miss seeing you more often, though it's certainly understandable.

I am enjoying being a SAHM more and more and God has been teaching me the same things. Sure we would have more money if I worked, BUT, God always provides for us everything we need and it is really an amazing experience to see how much we can trust our Heavenly Father and how He never lets us down!
