A Month of Thanksgiving – My Refuge and Strength

I'm a Christian and I love the Lord with all my heart. I've been a single homeschooling mama for over 11 years. I work from home as a website designer. I love simple things and all things home. I hope to be a bride soon. Read more about me.

"Heaven is not here, it's There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for."
—Elisabeth Elliot

"Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset"
—St Francis de Sales

"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
—Isaiah 43:19

"The way you breed something into your children is by being the person you want them to be. When daughters are around mothers that are homemaking, they catch on."
