Samuel 23:

Saul is very persistent in his pursuit of David- and the only thing stopping him is that God will not allow it. God knows everything that will and won't happen and even though He gives us free will He still has the ability to allow or prevent things from happening as He sees fit. It is amazing.

It seems that I have been gone for a week- I knew I had not been keeping up with my Bible or my Blog but I did not realize it had been a week. Sorry- but it has been a nice little vacation. So moving back into the flow here is Samuel 22:

You can tell even now that David will be king and on top of that he will be a great king- he feels for and wants to protect his people. He holds himself personally responsible for the death of the priests at Nob not everyone would take a responsibility so great especially when they had not particularly caused the travesty to occur and only in a roundabout way are they responsible.

Homeschool

Does anyone out there homeschool? If so I would love to know how you do it, what curriculum you use, how many kids you homeschool, ages, and anything else you would like to share. We will start Little Beast in kindergarten homeschool next year ahead of when he would normally start in Aug 2010- he is definetily ready and so are we but I would love any suggestions. We used K4 Abeka this year and will probably be using K5 Abeka next year or most of it anyways but I would like to incorporate other stuff as well.

Thanks,

Samuel 21:

I am truly thankful that I live in America- a place that normally you do not have to run from people or be scared that people are out to get you. For David this was not the case- Saul was after him and only the Lord could keep him safe. For that matter only the Lord can keep any of us safe.

Daily Shopping Totals

This past Sunday I went to Walmart... I got a lot of stuff that I would not normally of gotten but had good coupons for and it was stuff that I would use. I got free bbq sauce and toilet paper and lots of stuff for around $1.00 after coupons. My total went from $130.xx to $52.xx I can't believe it- normally I don't have good coupons for shopping at Walmart like that but thanks to hip2save and dealseekingmom and their extensive list I was able to find all those great deals.

Samuel 20:

Johnathon and David must say goodbye, but they made a pack that David would not harm Johnathon's family and through that pack Johnathon's son will be saved when David becomes king.

Samuel 19:

Saul is continuously trying to kill David- I mean how many times is he going to try? We all know that David is known as Israel's greatest king {besides Jesus} but Saul just keeps trying to kill him. Well hindsight is 20/20 and I know that God wanted it to happen {Saul to try at least}.

Samuel 18:

Jealousy has a way of eating you alive- that is why it is said in the bible to never let the sun go down on your anger. If you are always angry you will 1. have a lot of physical health problems and 2. be consumed with jealousy, revenge, and anger. If you are jealous of something or someone {remember not to covet any thing or one...} then pray and ask God to remove the jealousy from your heart.

Samuel 17:

A sling and a stone- and God Almighty. The recipe for killing a giant. All things no matter how impossible they seem can be done through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Samuel 16:

"...but the Lord looks at the heart." How true this statement is- and I am guilty of it just like everyone else we look at the outside and judge, but God looks at a heart to judge and only he truly knows a heart.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all that are out there!!

Today I spent Mother's Day with my little Beast and my little Belle out at the flea market- I got 2 new reverware copper bottom pots- 2 qt and 1 qt for $20.00 and a 3- drawer cart for $5.00 not too bad... I have spent the last hour trying to decide and research a pool for the four of us. It needs to be affordable and fun for all of us. I am looking at a $299 15ft x 48 in deep pool. It is supposed to come with everything it needs except the chemicals- so it isn't that bad of a price- if I fill it up to 46" it will give me 20" of height above the pool level- little Beast and little Belle will be under that height and Beast will be 28" above the water. Obviously we can't dive or anything but living in FL without a pool has gone on long enough- it is early May and already over 90+ degrees outside- the daycare cannot use it but we could and they have a sprinler toy for them.

Today...

Well today I took a pregnancy test- there was a slight idea that I might be although neither Beast nor I are in any mood for more children right now- it was negative. That was a relief but in the time that you are thinking What if?? You tend to start liking the idea of another baby in my tummy- but it is just not the right time- I don't want anymore children until I start thinking that I might already be pregnant.

In other news- I have to decide what I am going to order from Angel Food ministries this month- I have until May 17. But, I am not sure what to order... My sis-in-law and I have been doing OAMC with the AF order so I will atleast order 1 box but I am trying to decide if that is it.

Samuel 15:

How hard it is for us as God's children to listen to his instructions- He tells us to do A but we think that B looks and sounds so much better. Isn't he the God of the cosmos that created life- doesn't he know what is best? God please help us to know you better and to listen to your instructions.

Samuel 14 Part 2:
Israel routs the Philistines:
It is amazing how God works- instead of Israel really lifting a finger God made the ground shake which caused the Philistines to panic and then kill each other while the Israelites just watched. When God wants something done- he does it!

Bible Time

Samuel 14 Part 1:

To me it seems as if Johnathon would get slaughtered because he did not pray and ask for God's guidance he just went and did it- and still God delivered the Philistines into his hands. But, God is all knowing and all powerful I guess if he wants to do it it will be done.
