My mind goes a hundred miles a minute. Thoughts are constantly
tumbling over one another. Because of the chaos inside my head, I
rarely get anything done. I may start a project, but then I don't
finish it because my mind goes in another direction. I really enjoy
writing, because I am able to get my thoughts out on paper and it seems
to free up some space. It also helps me finish what I start because I
have something to refer back to and keep me accountable. When I started
this blog I thought it would be a great way to organize my thoughts
while encouraging myself in my walk with the Lord, my motherhood
journey, being the best wife I could be and also to keep me accountable
to my homeschooling and my homemaking duties. This blog was FOR me and BY me. However, something changed. I felt like I needed to create a
blog that looked like and sounded like all the others. I falsely
assumed that if I didn't blog x times a week about a specific topic, in a
specific way that I failed in this project. It ended up being all
about numbers - how many people viewed my page, how many followers I
had, etc. It became so overwhelming that I burned out after barely
starting. So I stopped, vowing to never do it again.
But
something has changed. My mind is in chaos and I miss writing. Real,
from my heart writing. Not for the benefit of anyone else, but for me.
For the peace it brings me. For the joy I feel. For the order it
brings my life. I started a different blog 6 years ago that was private
just for friends and family to keep up with what was going on in our
lives at the time. I read through it last night and I felt so much
peace. It reminded me what blogging did for me and my life. When I
didn't care what I was writing and how many people read it. The raw
emotions, and the truth that I shared on that private blog mean more to
me than I thought they ever would. I get a glimpse back on who I was
and where I was at the time. The things and people that were important
to me were laid bare. It was so refreshing!
So, I am
going to try to get back to this blog. To come and write about anything
and everything whenever I want - for my benefit. And if someone else
gets encouragement from it, then great! I pray that God blesses this
endeavor and that He can use this space to break me and make me into the
homemaking, teacher, mother, wife and friend that He wants me to be.

I'm back!
I'm alive! Whew! It's taken me a long time to realize this! :-) No, I've just been very busy. My mind has been too busy to come up with anything to blog about! Even today, I don't really know what to say, but here I am anyway! I would love to get back into a blogging schedule. So pray for me! :-)
I have been down for the last month or so, and I couldn't really pinpoint what the problem was, (other then being so busy) but the past few days, several things have happened and they really helped lighten my heart! I think that I was just carrying around some sin that I needed to let go! It's funny...I think that God just shut me down, until He could get through my very very thick head! Here's one of my problems. I love lists and schedules! But I tend to over fill those lists and schedules and run from one thing to another all day! I may get them all completed but I don't really include God in any of it! And then, I get depressed because I feel like nothing I do actually matters! I recently had a dear sweet friend tell me that we need to remember that what we do at home shouldn't be done for anyone but the Lord! That comment has stuck with me and really seems to help! My hubby might not notice that the windows were cleaned AGAIN, and my Arrow might follow behind me and re-mess up the room, but my Loving Father in Heaven sees everything that I do and He is proud of me! And that's what matters!
So here's to a new outlook on all my duties of being a loving, competent helpmeet to my husband, mother to my son and most importantly, a Daughter of the Most High King!
Blessings to you all!

My thoughts on Modesty
~Just a note...this is a long post...it will take a few minutes to read...I'm sorry in advance! :-) ~
I hear alot of talk about modesty...what modesty is...what's modest and what's not...etc...
I'm sure you all know what I mean! It's a hot topic in the blog circles I "run" in! So I thought that I'd add my two cents ~ I hope they are worth something to someone! :-)
Disclaimer ~ these are my PERSONAL convictions and I am not sharing this, trying to convince anyone that my ways are the right ways! I'm just sharing because, well..I just want to! So please don't take offense to anything I might say! Remember...these are my PERSONAL convictions!
I am a skirt wearer! There...I said it...some of you understand and some of you may not and that's okay. Just thought I'd get it out there right from the start. I haven't always worn skirts. In fact I'm sure there were times in my life that I didn't even own a skirt! I've been a skirt wearer for 2 years and 4 months! In November 2008 after moving down south, I was getting settled into my new home and life when God spoke to me! I tell you, His voice was so clear! I have no doubt that it was Him and not my own thoughts! He asked me to do something that most women would rather die than do...He asked me to....dun dun dun (sing songy:-) wear skirts only! Did I hear Him right? Did He really just ask ME to change my whole wardrobe and wear only skirts!? No pants!? Yep, He did! And I really surprised myself! I didn't even argue! I followed His request! Slowly I started acquiring long skirts at thrift stores, wearing them and totally enjoying it! I reveled in the fact that I looked different than most of the world! I loved that I was treated with more respect out in public (and that really does happen...for any of you skeptics!:-) I savored being in God's will! Not everyone was as excited as I was. Most of my family (not including the Mister) thought that I was off my rocker and definitely did not understand! I also have been on the receiving end of some not very nice words from other people...but that didn't matter! God asked...I followed! Wearing long skirts took me into a new world of complete modesty. My tastes changed concerning my tops, shoes, hair and makeup! My skirts got longer, the collars of my tops got higher and my my sleeves got a little longer, my shoes got lower, my makeup became lighter and my hair got longer! The first year was a learning and growing experience that I will never forget! Some things have stuck, some have not...but I'm getting sidetracked!
A year later...I was struggling a little bit with HAVING to wear skirts only. My heart was in turmoil! The world looked so enticing! I figured that I could wear pants and still be modest, but I wanted to follow God! I truly struggled...and then one day...a year (almost to the day) after being asked to wear skirts only, God spoke to me again! He told me that I didn't have to wear skirts anymore...that it was my choice. I WAS FREE...so I thought! I took my freedom and ran with it! I bought new pants and wore them! And pretended I was enjoying it! The only thing that I truly enjoyed was that my family and some of my friends thought that I had found my marbles! :-) But I was miserable inside! I didn't feel freedom...I felt like I was in bondage to the world. I had figured it out! I was not enjoying obeying God before because I HAD too! That did not please Him! So I think that He released me to ease my suffering and hoped by doing that, that I would choose to wear skirts...on my own...He didn't want to force me any longer...He wanted me to exercise my free will. And I did! It took a few short months feeling incredibly masculine sporting my new found "freedom" in jeans, and I was slowly easing back into wearing skirts.
Oh what a joy it is to wear a skirt every day! I do own a few pairs of pants, but they primarily reside tucked away in the corner of my closet. I feel so free and so feminine in a skirt! Skirts are so much more comfortable than pants...especially around the waist! And in the summer, they are hands down, so much cooler than pants and even shorts! Air circulates so much easier! Trust me...I've done this for 2 summers in deep south heat! And no matter what some people say...you CAN do anything in a skirt...except maybe ride an upside down roller coaster:-)! I'll prove it in another post soon ~ doing anything...not riding a coaster!
So after sharing the gist of my skirt wearing testimony, I'll share what my modesty guidelines are for myself and my someday daughters...God willing!
I will not wear skirts that fall above my knees. In fact I prefer skirts that are mid-calf or longer. I will not wear shirts that reveal any cleavage. If I have a low cut shirt, I double up with a ribbed sleeveless shirt underneath. I will wear sleeveless shirts around the house in the summer, and a few may pass my modesty test for public wear. Only in extreme heat circumstances and depending on where we are going. I steer clear of super clingy tops, but I do wear lightly fitted ones. My husband likes them and I like pleasing him. I am not fond of clothes that make me look as if I am wearing a sack! My reasoning is this...God made a woman's shape very beautiful and very distinct from a man's shape. Although I don't want to reveal too much and I certainly don't want other men lusting after me, I want everyone to know, just by a glance that I AM a woman. I don't believe that we should ugly up ourselves in the name of modesty. I don't believe that is what God has in mind for us at all! And I want my husband to continue to be attracted to me! I do wear colors and patterns. God created beauty all around us and colors make up so much of that! My hair is styled so that no one could confuse me with a man and my make up is worn to look very natural...to enhance my features (and cover blemishes) not to cover up my God given face. I don't wear a lot of jewelry (that's just a personal preference.) I don't give a fig about the current fashions. Those are the world's standards and I may be living in the world, but I am not of the world. I allow no one (other than God and Mister) to dictate what I wear and what is "in." The goal I always keep in mind is this...I want to look like and be treated like a woman. I want to look different than the world, yet still be approachable. I want the unsaved to question what makes me different and have the courage to ask. I want to look soft, feminine and graceful, but still carry an air of a strong and motivated woman. I want my modest apparel to be a part of my Kingdom work! But most importantly by dressing femininely and modestly, I want my heart to show. I want people to look at me and see Jesus shining through! I want my apparel to remind me that I am a woman of God and I may be the only Bible someone will read! My clothes are a reminder that I must always be on my best behavior so as not to smear my character thus possibly turning people away from God and Christianity. I want people to be able to look past my skirt and see a woman devoted to God! But the most important reason is to keep my heart in check! When I look down and see my skirt floating around my ankles, it's much harder to use harsh words with my loved ones, or to complain about anything!
I like Psalm 19:14 ~ Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.
My skirt is a good physical reminder for my mouth and my heart to stay in line with His Word!
I believe that I am in His will for my life by wearing skirts and other modest apparel and that pleases me and I know that pleases Him!
I could go on and on and on...I just hope that I didn't babble on too much and that my thoughts are coherent enough for you to follow. My mind was going a mile a minute! Anyway, I just thought I'd share what was on my heart and remember...these are MY convictions and I NEVER look down on another woman for the way she may dress. I also understand that to some, my standards of modesty aren't rigid enough and that's okay...again...these are my standards between God, me and my husband!
I hope you all have a great night and I pray that I didn't bore you! Stay tuned for proof that you can do anything in a skirt!:-)
Blessings

Menu Plan Monday with a Glimpse into my morning...
Hello Everyone! What a beautiful morning it is here somewhere in the deep South ;-) My windows and doors are thrown wide open and beautiful music is pouring from my CD Player! Hymns....ahhh....such peace! All while hearing a little 5 year old yelling at the dog....excuse me for a moment....
Okay I'm back...Arrow found a broken toy on his floor...and of course he doesn't remember breaking it, and he certainly couldn't have stepped on it, since it was on the floor and not put away...so naturally the dog must have done it! Yeah, that's it...Sadie picked it up with her paws, broke the door off of the barn and hid it under other toys on the floor that happened to be abandoned right beside the bed that Arrow jumped out of this morning in his exuberance to start a new day!
Apparently I have an incredibly sly, smart little puppy! :-)
or...
I have a very creative young man who is still learning about taking responsibility for his toys, room, actions, thoughts, words, etc...
But Hymns...yes...such peace! Even though I have a sink full of dirty dishes, laundry that is threatening to possibly take over the world...(okay, not quite that much, but enough!), and a student waiting to show me magic tricks and do math class...I have Peace! Physical, emotional, and spiritual peace that can only come from the Father! The words of an old hymn are beautiful and meaningful and so filled with God! If you don't normally listen to hymns, I suggest picking up a copy of "The Hymns Project" by Chris Rice. You won't be disappointed!
Okay, onto my menu plan...I am not the greatest at coming up with creative meals on a whim, so it is essential that I write them down and assign a day to each meal. Otherwise we would have frozen meat and take out pizza on the table! That certainly isn't frugal or being a good steward of the nutritious food God has provided us! (That doesn't mean that we don't enjoy take out ever once in a while...it just means that we would be eating it every night if I didn't meal plan!) So here are my ideas for the week...I try to stay away from boxed helpers, meals, etc., so most of these dinners are homemade...and no that doesn't make me super mom, it's just something that my husband and I try to stay away from. I will provide any of these recipes to you, if you are interested....just drop me a note...
Monday ~ Cheese and Broccoli Soup, Turkey Sandwiches on Sourdough Bread and a small Tossed Salad
Tuesday ~ Chicken Pot Pie and Canned Peaches
Wednesday ~ Frijoles Negros with Rice, Salsa and leftover Peaches
Thursday ~ Barbecued Venison topped Baked Potatoes with steamed carrots and a small Tossed Salad
Friday ~ Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Fruit Salad and Rolls
Saturday ~ Shepherd's Pie (leftover venison and mashed potatoes), Peas and Canned Pears
Sunday ~ Chicken Noodle Soup (leftover chicken & stock) with Homemade Bread and Carrot and Celery sticks
Well, I must work on my mountain of laundry and soak in the Glorious Presence of the Most High...
Have a very blessed day and remember to Pray without Ceasing!
Love to you all...

About Us...
Hi! My name is Jamie and my goal with this blog is share a little about our life...including the ups and downs. This blog will in no way be beautiful and flowery at all times! We are a real family living in the real world and we are not perfect. We are, however, trying to live a God honoring life. I want this blog to be God honoring and encouraging to women who are in the same place in life that I am!
I am a stay at home wife and momma. My husband, we'll call him, Mister, is an incredibly loving man! He loves God and he loves his family. He's a great provider and I am so thankful that I am able to stay home, because of his work ethic! He's also incredibly handsome ;-)!
My son is a cute little guy who is tall and skinny and all knees! He just turned 5 a few months ago and it amazes me how quickly he is growing! We are casually homeschooling in everyday moments. Next year will be a different story. For the sake of this blog and our privacy, we'll call him Arrow! I chose that name because we are training him, sharpening so to say, to be a great and powerful arrow for the Kingdom of God!
I have so many interests and I am an expert in nothing! Sewing, cooking, cleaning, canning, organizing, being frugal, gardening, decorating, teaching, mothering, blogging, natural body care, whole foods, budgeting...oh the list goes on and on. These are some things that I have a heart for. You will probably see them repeatedly mentioned throughout this blog, so bear with me as I am in a state of learning...
But before everything I am a Daughter of the King! I am a Christian woman who doesn't really identify with any particular denomination. I identify with the love of Christ and His sacrifice that He made on our behalf. I believe that EVERYONE is called to be a child of God, but not everyone will follow Him. I love God, I am saved by the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, and some day I will be living in Glory with the Most High! God has a special plan for me, as He does for everyone, and I pray that I am in His will and if I'm not, I pray that He gentle steers me where He wants me.
Please enjoy your time here, laugh with me, cry with me, and please pray for me. If you have any questions, comments or kind words please feel free to share! You can reach me through my comments section or directly through my email - simplyhishome@gmail.com
