Gluten -free
We went gluten free a couple of months ago, so I am experimenting with a lot of different stuff. Tonight I made Gluten free brownies, they are cooling as I speak, so hopefully, they will taste okay,we will see. I just got copied a graham cracker recipes off the Gluten-free Goddess. I hope by Christmas to be an excellent gluten- free baker. My son has alot of food allergies, gluten intolerance is a recent one. He is being checked for celiac in the fall. God has helped us through this all. He has been walking me through it and helping us find what he can and can't eat.

Abiding Faith
Four years ago, I started this blog, to help me through my Catholic homeschooling journey. Now as I sit and look at the blog what it went from to what it is now it is a journey of Abiding Faith. Having faith in trusting in God and carrying the crosses that come during your journey walk is hard at times. I recently read an article in believing and trusting in God's Will.She said that sometimes trusting in God is praying with despair in your heart. I can relate to that. When you are not walking through the dark valleys in life, you can surely say it--I abide in faith. It is harder when the pits of despair created by a job loss, losing everything you worked so hard to have are about to be taking away from you. Than is when it is harder to pray and have that abiding faith. Right now as we are in that dark valley, I am doing my best to pray with abiding faith. Believe when you are carrying that cross Satan is at your back trying to get you to drop it.
I believe constant prayer does get you through it all. My deep faith has always gotten me through the toughest times in my life. This walk is no different than the rest, but with each cross comes new ardent challenges that sometimes are hard to conquer. That is the time I re-read the footprints poem in my head--God is carrying me through this time. Recently I was driving home from church and heard this song, called I am waiting by John Waller. God knows when we need to hear the messages we need to hear, that is what an awesome and Amazing God we have. Abiding Faith is a journey of having waiting faith, in God's time, in God's will/ God Bless you all!
Praising Him Joyfully,

Faith and Courage
I just finished watching Julia and Julia what an awesome movie. It is funny that sometimes you watch something that you see your self in. Cooking saved Julia, and my writing has saved me. This is movie showed how impossible things can happen even to those of us who doubt through times in our lives. Jesus said nothing is impossible with God. Lately things we have been going through, I have doubted God and myself, but I realized nothing is impossible, even when we think it is. I realized I have lost Faith in everything lately, especially myself. I realized now the things I most wanted to do all my life I stepped away from because it scared me, but God has wanted me the last couple of months to face that fear. He knew I could do it, but I doubted I could. Writing has always been my gift that he gave me. I have written for my family lots of wonderful little stories. With courage He wanted to face writing for a larger audience and that has scared me. Today, I found the pinnacle in my life to save my self, God's loving hand reaching out and I am taking it. It will start with this blog and I will work my way to that book He wants me to write, which will probably changed me and my life. Sometimes adversity and the longer road is the road that teaches us the lesson we need to learn to grow and change. What an amazing revelation into one's life when you look at it through the eyes of God's love.

Happy 13th Birthday Chloe!
You have become the young women, I knew you would become. I look at you today and I am so proud to call you my daughter. I have watched a young spirited little girl grow up to be a fun-filled young women who is convicted in her beliefs, who is filled with the Holy Spirit and the walk with God. The wonderful and awesome artist you have shown us has, only enhanced your spirit and love of Nature and the ocean. Your kindness for a stranger and friends alike has shown the compassion you have for God's creatures. This year will be probably be one of the most exciting in your life, 8th grade, with graduation and Confirmation upon you. Enjoy all the milestones that come upon you and savor it. I love you!!!

End of the year
Well ending is always bittersweet. We have ended this year for our summer to begin. We do homeschool during the summer but not like during the school year--Math and Reading becomes our focus, with Nature studies and lots of fun trips. this year is especially bittersweet as most of you know we are in a state of limbo, waiting for God to show us our new direction in our lives. Wherever we are God will light the way.
The kids have been homeschooled for 4 years now and have excelled through their learning difficulties. We are going into year 5 in the fall. Chloe is going into the 8th grade and Luke into the 6th grade. They are both growing up so fast. I remember the days I brought them home from the hospital like yesterday.
God has even helped me start a new career, though scary, trusting in Him is essential to allow Him to work through me. So my writing career has begun again after not writing for over 15 years. Alot has changed from the writing world I left those many years ago. So as I start this new chapter in my life, I wish you all a great summer. I will still be blogging and writing during the summer and tomorrow I will be posting my last review of curricula we used this year for the summer. I will be writing about the places we visit and see. We will be on the road this summer. We will be visiting my parents at sometime during the summer, and I will post pictures along with my blogging entries. I wish you all a Blessed Summer to start the fall refreshed and full of energy.
Praising Him Joyfully,
