Decisions...

I know that it has been a very long time since I have posted but there has been way too much going on. Many things happened at once. We bought a house, Bobby transferred jobs (twice), we trained for and ran a half marathon and various other emergencies happened. The number one thing that changed my life and left an impression on my heart though is when I got the call from my mom this summer telling me that my sweet little niece had been diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 8 years old. Praise the Lord that surgery has been successful and as of right now the cancer seems to be gone. Once she has gone five years without it reoccurring she will be considered cancer free. Why do I bring this up?Because quite honestly I feel like I have been living life all wrong, all for myself. But I know now that God is good and He has blessed me with so much and I want my life to be poured out into others. Especially my little family! I want to be the best wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend. There are many things that I want to do and time I am learning is precious. So I am at a crossroad. I'm not sure if keeping this blog is the best way for me to do any of these things. So, I am in serious prayer of this decision. If I choose not to continue with it I will keep the blog up more than likely so if you want to read previous posts you can. We will see. If over the course of the next several months I have absolutely no time to write or if I feel God is leading me away then I will let it go. Thank you for following me on our journey thus far, my heart goes out to all of you. Until I decide I hope that everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving and a wonderful Christmas! 

Sincerely,
Liz

I have been wrestling with the same decision. Should I blog or not? I'm going to keep going. I may not post regularly, but it has become a family website that I hope my kids will one day want to check out. My recipes, my heart for them, my pictures of them, it is all on there. I pray that they will see how much I want them to love and serve the Lord. It has also been helpful to many firefighter wives that struggle with the demands of the job.

I am happy to hear that the surgery was a success. Whew! My mother in the law is in the process of testing to see if her breast cancer has returned. I am praying we do not have to go on this journey again. She beat it once before. I would appreciate your prayers. Her name is Ethel.

Blessings,
Stacie

your story w aspiring and enjoyable to read. You area free spirit and I think that is so cool. To love this earth enough to take from it to survive, and you give back to it is such a blessing. So many people take the earth for granted and abuse her. it is a breath of fresh air to see someone that respects it. And raising your family to serve God is great. God bless you all and good luck.
