FAMILIES
I believe God is waiting to heal and set free of the American family!!
Can I say that again??
but it MUST begin with ME…with You—authentically!
Tell me some things that you would like to see change in your family/or have changed — that have worked and given you more unhurried..being present time ?
I am going to use some of this blog to record our families exodus from unhealthiness. Really the same direction just branching out. I have felt that on my heart for at least 8 years now and have chosen to not listen to it.
I am sure there will be a lot of things that come up along the way..most of which I will share here. I strongly agree that when we are set free of something we have a responsibility to help set others free. Our stories touch other stories and HELP. If we keep secrets NO ONE is SET FREE. I’m sure we will meet many other climbers along the way that we will introduce you to. I’ve got some in mind already!
If you are someone you know has a STORY to share that would be encouraging and meets the criteria at the opening of this post please email me! I would love for them to guest post.
Over the next week or so I will be sharing some HOW-TO’s that we will be IMPLEMENTING

. Our country is SO INUNDATED WITH CONSUMING-that we have lost PRODUCING our TIME with each other. We are so harried we can’t ENJOY life anymore. I’ve spent years wondering how to get off this merry go round. No ANSWER came until last week when we watched this documentary. Click here for More Fun, Less Stuff

that I not be like the warriors of Ephraim,
though fully armed, turned their backs and fled when the day
of battle came.
Psalm 78:9
Our families need us not to flee!
The individual woman is required . . . a thousand times a day to choose either to accept her appointed role and thereby rescue her good disposition out of the wreckage of her self-respect, or else follow an independent line of behavior and rescue her self — Jeannette Rankin (1880-1973)
Sowing the Seed

we have done several things to preserve our family: we live in a very remote area, so our kids are around, not hopping off to spend time all over the place; we don't have cable or satelite (we do watch TV, but the choices are limited); we eat dinner together every night even if it's 9:00 PM; and we have devotion in the mornings before heading off to school. we've managed all of this even if with sons in high school and middle school. i love your ideas and will keep up with your work!
