While I wait....
As I wait on our newest baby blessing to arrive I have been keeping myself busy with tasks around my home.
There were things that needed to be tackled such as washing curtains that due to condensation around the windows had become moldy. A sunroom/schoolroom that had gotten some of the littles books wet and a bookcase full of books to be moved to avoid the trash can.
The bookcase was moved and reorganized. The sunroom/schoolroom was cleaned and organized. New curtains were put on the front window and in the living room curtains added where there was none.
Sunroom/schoolroom all tidy and organized!
New living room curtains
Front window and the new curtains!
I am also trying to take weekend walks with my sweet love and children. It's slow going and can be painful as baby has settled into my pelvis but to breathe in the fresh air and look joyfully at the clear blue skies I find it worth it!
Many windmills near us..
My sweet Gabby girl.
The kiddos loving on the horses next door!
Texas Beauty!
The big field next to our home.(and Isaac)
Always keeping busy with homeschooling...We have a lighter schedule these days due to me being at the end of my pregnancy.
ZaraLayna & Isaac coloring their History pages from Story of the World.
And always staying in Father's Word. I can feel so vulnerable and weak at the end of my pg..a tad bit impatient too so I find it so very important that I stay connected to Father through His Word. I may fail and fall but He is my strength and my Strong Tower!
Blessings!!!

3 Gifts From Elohim
January 18, 2013
Joy Dare
3 Gifts From Elohim's Word..
Rest: Exodus 33:14 -
And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest."
His love never fails and His mercies are new every morning:
Lamentations 3:22 – 25
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. ”
Psalm 136:26 “Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.”
Jeremiah 31:3
“The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”
He does new things and gives new promises. Our past becomes old and the former things are gone. We can let go of our past fear and worry...He will take them and create something amazing and New. He walks through the fear with us..
“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert. ~ Isaiah 43:18-19
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength. ~ Corrie Ten Boom

3 startling graces of Elohim
January 14, 2013
Joy Dare
3 startling graces of Elohim
1.) I find that at the end of each day I can find thankfulness that I have gotten through another tough day of being tired and slow..my body feeling heavy with child. Father's grace to me as I wait for baby's arrival.
2.) Restoration of relationship...never having thought it would happen but remembering my prayers. Maybe I prayed them with less belief than I should have but yet, Yeshua heard me and answered and RESTORED!
3.) I am pg! It's a girl! 7 yrs since my last daughter..my womb is still carrying life! I feel so unworthy of this gift but everyday I am very thankful! Every kick reminds me of how much I appreciate this answer to prayer, how very thankful I am!!! Beyond words thankful...Grace; His gift! His gift to me; the gift of a baby girl!!

above, below. beside
January 12, 2013
Joy Dare
Something above, below, beside...
1.) In the skies above snow has fallen off and on..not accumulating much but raining down upon us...and although I do not like snow and am glad we get very little here I think upon how each snowflake is different and this leads me to think of how each of us has been created as unique creations by the Creator.
2.) Below, on the very last part of my body I am covered in soft fuzziness. My toes are warm and the striped blues, pinks & whites on my fuzzy socks give character..even my feet have something to say!
3.) Beside me I have little people playing at construction..building homes and towers. Blue, black, red and yellow..Legos dumped out all over the floor and pure playing enjoyment..Creative juices flowing. Simple things and those things that make quiet moments last longer.
Enjoy Shabbat!!

Sour, sweet, just right
January 10, 2013
Joy Dare
A gift sour, sweet, just right
1.) Sour people...don't they make us appreciate those sweet, real people in our lives.......not all gifts are desired but all of them teach us something.
2.) Sweetness of love being showered on me by my Father. The Rauch Hakodesh teaching and guiding me into sweet fellowship.
3.) Just right in my man's arms as we listen to our wedding song...touching his face, kissing his lips, feeling his arms around me.....my heart, my love!
**************************************************************
Today I was cranky & tired. I didn't have much patience..
I have those days sometimes. I am restless and get bored easily these days. It's all the waiting on baby to come. But I can see that this time I am doing so much better being patient than in past pg's.
Maybe that means I am learning..?

Homemade Crackers & a new pizza crust
We make as much as we can from scratch and one thing we really enjoy making is homemade crackers. We decided to try a new recipe using coconut oil instead of butter. Quentin, Gabby & Micah were my bakers for the day.
All ready to go into the oven!!
On New Year's Eve we made homemade pizza. I wanted to try a new crust recipe. This recipe uses rice, eggs and mozzarella cheese. It turned out really nicely and it was yummy too. My dh said, "That rice crust was better than I thought it would be!" That made my evening! Another bonus is that it's easy and inexpensive!
Rice Crust for Pizza
3 C. cooked white or brown rice
2 eggs
1 C. grated mozzarella cheese
Mix the rice with the eggs and cheese. Press into a 10" pizza pan. Bake at 450 for 20 minutes. Put on sauce and toppings of your choice; bake 10 minutes longer.
