Torah School – Beresheet

Welcome to my homeschool.  I would like to give you a glimpse (okay, a thesis) of what Torah School looks like in our home.  My children are 8, nearly 7, 5, 3, 11 months, and the youngest just got a heartbeat last week (7 weeks in utero.)  Grades are fuzzy right now, so consider them […]

The Season of our Joy

Happy Feast of Tabernacles to everyone! We hope you had as joyful a time as we did. Here we are in front of our sukkah, the whole family in the same picture!

My Courtship Guidelines

I see many young ladies anxious to meet their prince.  Would you like to hear how I met my prince, and how we made it to the wedding altar to share our first kiss?  Read on! It all happened eleven years ago.  I wore a childish denim jumper with sailboats on the pockets.  I just wanted […]

Feast of Trumpets Celebration!

We are all enjoying some quiet at my parents’ house right now so I thought I’d share some photos.  Our gathering was rather small, all extended family, but we enjoyed ourselves very much. Reading the torah portion together as well as an article about Yom Teruah Sadie coloring a picture of shofars FOOD! Gramps blowing […]

My husband’s hobby – Sukkot!

In the last four years, Doug has become completely obsessed with Feast of Tabernacles.  He tries to improve and design a better sukkah every year.  It’s a challenge here in northeast Michigan.  We’ve had rain, flooded tents, mud, “smoke” issues, freezing temperatures, flat air mattresses, etc.  And we’ve never had more fun!  We look forward […]

Healing, Part 3

Yahshua healed many people, and usually said something to the effect of, “Your faith has made you whole.” So what is faith?  Is it simply believing?  Is it an emotion?  If I have a weak moment of doubt, is it all over?  I hope not, because in the last 6 weeks, I’ve had some moments […]

Healing, Part 2

My next question while seeking healing was: Why did I have two c-sections? Why did I need healing in the first place? Scriptures are clear on the reason for sickness and disease. But I don’t think it’s an answer we want to spend too much time on. Of course, we will all admit that sin […]

Healing, Part 1

This is about my prayer for healing. Let me give you a little background first. My first baby was born by c-section. My next three were vbacs. Then I had another c-section. I want to have as many children as YHVH blesses me with. My birth history is beginning to work against me. July 3, […]

Praise YHVH for my husband!

I want to take a few minutes and praise YHVH for my husband.  DISCLAIMER: He’s still a little rough around the edges, but I love him anyway!I’m very thankful for how he has stepped up to the plate in recent months.  We got a satellite to watch God’s Learning Channel back in January, and since […]

Of chickens and fear

fear

So my children are all talking about getting to go in and help me pay for chicken feed at the feed store. My three year old pipes up with, “I not go chickens. Chickens kill me.” Everyone laughed at her cuteness, including her. But the real truth is that she is terrified of chickens. If […]
