Simple Living at Home, Encouragement, Family Health

 I wish my photo attachment icon was working on my old version of Blogger. I might have to update one day. Actually, I probably won't have time or put my effort there... (If typos are in this post- I haven't edited yet) Going to grab kids from soccer. :) 

I have been cleaning and organizing today. I have canisters on our counter all the way to the wall. This is lined with all gluten-free baking flour, einkorn flour, noodles, rice, oatmeal, and masa flour... so exciting :) 

We are also choosing raw milk from a farm. So excited. We can't do all raw dairy, but as much as possible. I told my husband my goal is to consume raw milk, better foods, plant a garden next summer, bake more from scratch items, etc. I made really yummy gluten-free banana cream cheese muffins with cinnamon. Oh my goodness- without an actual recipe, just old-fashioned dumping ingredients in the bowl. It turned out well and I will be making these more. Not everything turns out well haha. 

My husband is almost finished with his office space in our garage. Can host guests. A kitchen showroom, bathroom, living area, and workspace. He gets to work from home now when not flying. He will have quiet phone calls lol. The Lord has blessed him with so much business with his heart to be home more. And he is always working. But here. I love it. Flying is still a passion and career. As you get older, you realize to invest way more into your family and kids. This is your most important ministry. 

We can't wait to travel more one day, but are already visiting rural Ohio and Kentucky this year to see Noah's real ark with all our kids, and having fun experiences together. We are also blessed by our family. 

My mom moved here! Seriously right down the street! And my stepdad. I love it. She hasn't been by me for years. I can't believe the Lord blessed me in this wonderful way. It's surreal. We enjoyed coffee, while she watched me make homemade biscuits for the kids. Those actually didn't turn out lol, but the bigger dog (Chester) liked them. God's grace has covered and blessed us so greatly. We love our family, our home, and our lives. We love our marriage. We want to live in love. In peace. In quietness. In surrender. 

Friends, family, children, home, all such blessings. But only one trumps them all.  Jesus. He is the almighty God in the flesh. He is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

I've been researching the Greek. In Colossians 1:20 it says he reconciled and made peace with all things on earth and in heaven. The Greek word for all in the earth and heaven is pantas. The same word is used in Revelation 4:11(pantas). God is worthy who created all things. 

What revelation! He has reconciled all through the cross---- if we accept His free gift of salvation to all mankind. 

Beautiful verse. How Calvinism and Arminianism both mix I don't know, but they do! 

Rest in the FINISHED work of Christ for you if He is your Savior! He whispers blood-bought PEACE! 

So beautiful. The King of Kings. Trust where the Lord takes you, where He gives, where He does not lead, where He will lead and provide. No human can meet your needs. He only can. 

Much love, grace, and peace.
