It's 3:28am and no I did not plan to wake up this early. In fact my medication has made me groggy and at this moment I am having trouble not being cross eyed.
Last night I attended church, as usual and I am reminded, that I must live my life as a christian, with zeal and excitement, for as it says in Matthew 25 verse13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming" As a new christian, I am faced with the ENemy's work, because as my guide told me last night, I left his army and this ticked him off, so I am faced with dreams, and moments of panic and sleeplessness for no good reason.
So tonight, when I woke scared for unknown reasons, I got up and turned to my bible and was faced with two scriptures, first Psalm 118 verse 14 "The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation!"
And so, praying I am reminded that nothing can harm me in the long run, and I can lay my head back to sleep for a few hours and rest in the knowledge that the :Lord my God is keeping me safe. Amen

Long time, no blog
Life has taken some amazingly strange turns for us over the last few years. I am coming back to this blog after having my house burn down, having had many surgeries, having been homeless for two years, a move to Colorado and finally a settling in Alamosa, Co. Oh, also, I had wandered into a church recently, and I have been saved! God is Good! So the focus of this blog will be far more Christian, especially as I come to learn my faith and what it requires.
Also, there will be a focus on homeschooling. Due to a distinct dislike of the services available for disabled children in this school district my husband and I have decided that homeschooling is by far a better option for our children than anything else available right now. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the small farming community that we have joined, it's just that some of our needs for the children are not met within the current school system. Aleksey is now 6 years old and learning to accept something like a routine (being homeless in the desert for 2 years will make routines go out the window!) and Elijah is now 5 and we are battling the "I know everything" attitude that comes with this age.
Health-wise, I am doing better than I have been in a long time, despite developing epilepsy. My husband feels that things are stable enough for him to finally seek a part time job. We haven't had that kind of stability in over 5 years. It's an amazing this really, how far we've come as a couple, as parents and as individuals. We've faced more struggles than I feel is fair for our lifetime, and here we are, defeating each and every one of them with grace and strength. Now if I could only stop smoking.
