If God speaks a promise, that "word" will stand!!!

This wonderful woman of God went home to be with Jesus this past Saturday, September 13th.  She is one of my dearest friends, Page Johnson's, mom.  She is one of the most precious women I've ever known.  God's joy overflowed in her life always.  I never saw her with a frown on her face.  She was always smiling ear to ear like you see in this picture of her.  I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to know this wonderful woman many years ago when I was a camp counselor at NLC.  Women like her are rare and being able to spend time with such women should be remembered and cherished always.  I know she is having the most fun time ever in heaven with her Lord and Savior right now and she wouldn't trade places with any of us for anything in the world.  

A Quote From A Friend...

A friend posted this on their social media page and it was worthy of sharing.  It's worthy of everyone hearing too.  It should be shouted from the roof tops for everyone that have it in their hearts to take lives.

Charlie Kirk Quote...

EKU v. The Thundering Herd...

EKU stunk it up at the Marshall game Saturday but our family had a fantastic time together supporting Corey as he coached with the other coaches.  It's was fun watching him do his thing on the sidelines.  He also got an opportunity to come up and spend a little time with the family as well.

C.harlie K.irk (sha.red from Tur.ning Po.int)...

Every one of us at Turning Point USA is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk. All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend. Above all, our hearts are with Erika and their two children. Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father. Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss they have suffered.

More than anyone, Charlie believed in the power of argument and good-faith debate to find the truth and guide people towards, if not agreement, then at least mutual understanding. Charlie was no stranger to threats. He received thousands throughout his life. But he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety. Now, Charlie has become America's greatest martyr to the freedom of speech he so adored.

In his thirty-one years, Charlie lived more than any of us will in a hundred. He had an overwhelming passion for life and a deep belief in his power as an individual to make a difference. With the spirit of a pioneer, Charlie launched Turning Point out of his parents' garage as an 18-year-old with no money, no name recognition, only a dream. His energy and drive were awe-inspiring, without equal and deeply infectious. Charlie refused to squander a single day of his life. He was a natural builder and problem solver, who loved a challenge and saw every setback as a chance to learn, grow, pray, and try again. He was fundamentally decent, always eager to make new friends and allies and to support and defend the ones he had already made. His values were timeless American ones: Honesty, forthrightness, duty, loyalty, and fair play.

Charlie loved America, its people, its Constitution, its freedom, and the limitless good all of them have done for the world. But above all, Charlie lived every day with an overflowing love of the Christ he knew he would one day get to see. When asked, Charlie said that above all he wished to be remembered for his faith. Far more than any political victory, Charlie wanted to see a spiritual revival among America's youth. He wanted a nation of happy, thriving families who loved God and each other. At his final public speech, just days before his murder, Charlie witnessed to Christ to an audience of non believers. Even in his very last moments, Charlie was professing the Gospel. He ran his race well all the way to the end Now, he goes to his heavenly reward.

Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure. He shall not grow old; age shall not weary him. For all time, he will remain the brave young man who inspired tens of millions of Americans to better themselves and take action to better America. All of us will miss Charlie. None of us will ever forget him.

Before & After Bookshelves...

Before:

Lot's of school books and stuff.

After:

Replaced with my bibles, bible study books and Christian books. Now they are at arms reach.

It feels good to have my bookshelves organized and I'm still going to do some more adjusting and bring down more books from upstairs to have at arms reach for me to be able to reference.  

It feels weird to be ending this homeschooling journey we've been on for so long but I'm excited for the next chapter and being able to do all my reading/studying/research without having to always go to other bookshelves in the house to get what I need.  

Never Forget 9/11...

On the night of September 10, 2001 ... 24 years ago:

246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.

2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning.

343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.

60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.

8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift.

None of them saw past 11:00am Sept 11, 2001.

In one single moment life was never the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Never forget.

For The Haters...

This was shared on social media last night and I wanted to share it here.  

Here's the thing.  After seeing all that I saw last night on social media concerning this man and then watching some of his videos on his Turning Point Youtube channel I get why the haters would want him gone.  Charlie was reaching far too many Gen Zers for Christ and he was making a real impact on their politically thinking.  He had them all really questioning what they had been brain washed and fed all their lives in their schooling to believe and think.  He was opening so many of these young peoples eyes to see what my husband and I, and so many our age that are like us, already knew....Patriotism matters!  That we need to be Pro Our Countries People 1st!  Jesus is real!  He is Lord!  Family really does matter!  Getting married and having children in that order is how we preserve our future and the future of our nation!  This way we don't all die off because we aren't growing our country!  All life has value - Pro Life!  

    His message was a strong in your face message!  It had everyone thinking.  You either loved him or you hated him.  There was no room for middle road thinking/feeling when it came to his messages to everyone.  

    I pray Gen Zers rise up.  They stand tall.  They multiply his message in way that he never could.  That they open pandoras box so to speak.  Like the Japanese famously said after bombing Pearl Harbor, "I feel we have awakened a sleeping giant!"  Make the haters see that they have awakened a sleeping giant.  Make an impact that will have Charlie's legacy living on for eternity!
