Prairie Oak Homestead

We're going camping this weekend. I'm looking forward to sitting around a campfire. I enjoy gazing into the flames and just letting my mind wander. It's relaxing to me. There are waterfalls where we are going. I think that will be a neat thing to see. It will just be nice to spend time with family and enjoy ourselves. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. :) I know I will. I'll update ya'll when I get back. ;)

Proverbs 31:22 - She is Covered! This Scripture-Picture was lovingly created by Lori @ I Will Take It Lord, All You Have to Give . Let's recap what we've studied, meditated on and gleaned from this beautiful, strong and wise, Proverbs 31, Biblically submissive wife so far. She is: An excellent wife, who's worth is incomparable to anything on this earth, as her value in God's eyes and to her husband and children are held and kept safe in God's Heavenly treasury ( Matthew 6:33 ). She is also a force to be reckoned with and our enemy, the devil knows it and that is why he tries so hard to keep this kind of woman deceived by being "liberated" by the world and all its lies. (v.10) A woman who's husband is free to be the man God created him to be because she is a woman who regularly exercises self-discipline and welcomes God's pruning shears so that she may bear bigger and more vibrant fruit. She is humble, gentle and kind and allows the work of her...

Well, he's not so little anymore. :) He's growing up and wanted to practice mowing some more. It takes me 2 to 2 1/2 hours to ride it. His help today took an hour off that time! Yay! He did a pretty good job, too. ;) Such determination! He loosened up and enjoyed it. :) I am so thankful for him. :)

This one is long, but I think it's really interesting. Proverbs 31:21 - She Fears God Alone This Scripture-Picture was lovingly created by Lori @ I Will Take It Lord, All You Have to Give . In the beginning of this study ( WEEK #2: The Wife and The Rib ) you were asked a very important question that you should consider every day of your life: "How will you use the 'power' God gave you, today?" I pray daily that we will all choose to serve Christ first, by submitting to our husbands, thereby providing protection for them and our entire households from the schemes of Satan. As I have stated in previous lessons, a Biblically submissive wife is no wimp. No, she is definitely a force to be reckoned with; as she must not only carry her own burdens, but that of her husband and entire household; and perhaps, the burdens of other brothers and sisters in Christ along the way. Unlike an un-Biblically submissive woman who has been "liberated" by society through...

My husband took our son on a surprise putt-putt golf outing. Hunter loves to putt-putt and they needed some father/son time together. They had fun and it meant a lot to Hunter. He doesn't get to spend very much "one-on-one" time with dad. He's with me 24/7 because we homeschool. I don't mind it, but he needs to be with a man every now and then. lol. He really enjoys the time he spends with dad. Dad's are very important. They teach their son's to do all sort's of things like looking nice every once in a while . :) And build stuff... How to fish... How to love... And being a hard worker... Being a father can be a hard job with a lot of responsibility. But, it's worth all the work when you see the results of all the love and lessons. And the goofiness . LOL I love this man. :)

I think of myself as a mixture of a housewife from the 1800's and the 1950's. I love to bake from scratch. I love to take care of my husband and son. I wish there were more magazines like this now-a-days. :( I think us housewives need more encouragement to keep doing what we are doing. Making a happy home can be difficult at times. There are a lot of women out there that don't know quite how to accomplish this. Life is so fast paced for most that it makes my head spin. I LOVE my slow paced life. I LOVE living and raising our son in the country. I love being able to put food up for our family and cooking wholesome meals for them. I couldn't stomach going out to eat most nights and getting fast food. It's just not how it's supposed to be. It's not how God wired me. He put in me an old fashioned spirit with old fashioned morals. It breaks my heart to see that people don't seem to blush anymore. So many things are permissible. It's hard to w...
