Soon Come Back

-
It's finally here. It's really here. I'm leaving. There are things I am happy to leave, and I am happy to be going to Africa! But there's so much I'll miss as well. Like all the wedding prepatations my sister will be doing! And I'm gonna miss my mummy and daddy (and the rest of my family) so much. But I'll get to rest now, and I'll be where God wants, and there is no better place than that.
I hope my cat gets fed, but I'd better keep myself fed spiritually too. I don't wan get too busy, or too distracted, etc.
The three months will fly off so fast and I'm gonna come back a totally different person but I am so looking forward to it! And I am mostly looking forward to God doing some amazing work. But in His time and His way.
I must go and pack. Maybe I'll catch some sleep first. I need that a lot.

    Hey Aleeca, great to know that God has provided! I've only just tuned in really, and you're gonna have one more person praying for your favour in Chad! Eh bien, mon vocabulaire, c'est moche, mais je dois dire, Bonne Annee!

Church Membership

-
I had a convo with a guy, yesterday, who told me he loved his Bible and he thought personal salvation was important, but he didn't think is was totally necessary to be attached to a particular church. He bemoaned the many issues and frustrations that come up, which I agreed with. I hate gossip just as much as he did...and that's one thing church people seem to be good at. As much as I could relate to what He was saying, and I could easily go through my head and list issues I have with my own church, I still told him I disagreed. As Mr.Henry preached this week (shout out to the Caribbean Baptist Heritage conference), Salvation and Church Membership have to go together.  And I do mean signing the little paper, not just showing up every week.  It dawned on me how similar the 'I don't need to be a member' arguement sounded to the 'I don't need to get married' arguement - I love the person. My commitment to them won't change whether or not I sig

When Hope Arrived

Disclaimer: There may be some TMIs about bodily fluids, and I can't promise the post will be short enough to be reader friendly. There are many ways to tell this story. This one is mine.  End of May: I'm nearing the end of my second trimester and starting to get wetness in my undies. I figure, since I have fibroids and therefore am much larger and heavier than my stage of pregnancy, it could just be more pressure than my bladder can handle. So I start wearing liners, but they are not sufficient, so I upgrade to pads. I mention it to my doctor a few days in, because the possibility of amniotic fluid crosses my mind. He advises me to check for the smell...there is none, but I wonder if my senses are off. I've been having more than the regular amount of doctors visits because of the fibroid complications. My next appointment is pretty soon, so I go in then and get tested (though I don't feel much leakage that day). The test is negative for amniotic fluid. Baby is very acti

Dear Non-Homeschooler

When someone finds out that I homeschool my children, they usually have lots of questions. Few are curious, most questions show concern for the children's academic wellbeing and (especially) their social life.  I have a few questions for people that don't homeschool their children. In the back of my mind, I think most people just do what is 'normal' and don't actually give these things deep thought. So though this is a bit cheeky, I hope it does make you pause and think about your children and if they are actually receiving the good that you intend for them.  Dear Non-Homeschooler, You send your child to school? Wow! I don't think I could ever have the patience for that! I see a lot of people doing it nowadays though. So how long do you plan to do this for? Even in high school? Oh my.  So, like, what kinds of things do you do to counteract the lack of Godly teaching? Cause that is a lot of ungodliness…not necessarily outright sin, but everything they do, day aft
