Praise YHVH for His Shabbat

This Shabbat has been so restful! I really enjoyed it...and feel so refreshed. The 5 Minute Update with Eddie was so good as well especially after the president's speech which basically divides the land of Israel! If you've always wanted to see Biblical prophecy happen before your very eyes, it is doing so!!!

We also got to bring Patches' kittens outside today and let them play on the porch. They are so cute! And getting to be big girls and boys. They are named Fawn (boy); Friendly (girl); Keshet which means rainbow (girl); Na'im which means kind (girl); and Mamsey meaning nursemaid (girl).

I was home this entire week as Nicole and are cleaning together two days a week every other week which allowed me to get so much more done this week! I got everything done on my to do list - miracle of miracles!

Monday and Tuesday nights I taught cake decorating class which I always enjoy. Friday I had my monthly massage therapy appointment. I'm doing so much better and really feel like my neck and upper back are finally healing from the fall on the ice 6 years ago which then began causing migraines.

The big focus these next couple of weeks will be planning and preparing for the announcement of the girl's retreat I'll be hosting...oh, wait, I think I let a sneak peak out. Also, cleaning out the barns after the winter and it finally drying out enough to do the full Spring cleaning there. Plus mow the yard as soon as it is dry enough. We've had so much rain here...that I wouldn't have been surprised to see Noah go by!!!

We've offically begun the countdown to Shavuot on which my family and our congregation will be hosting Paul Nison of Torah Life Ministries for the weekend. I can't wait!

Busy but Good week!

These past couple of weeks have been incredibly busy, but very good. I'm just so glad for Shabbat each week!

To help catch you up on my May...

Monday, the 2nd, my mom and I went up to a friend's, Nicole, for some fellowship with them and company they had. We ladies enjoyed trying our hand at soap making and made some new friends.

Tuesday, the 3rd, was a normal day trying to get caught up...

Wednesday, the 4th, was my normal cleaning day with Nicole and our long day with two houses. It went very well, and she spent the night with me.

Thursday, the 5th, we went up to visit my grandparents for a while and in order for them to be able to meet Nicole. After getting home, we got busy getting quite a few things done.

Friday, the 6th, I helped Katie who loves to Grandma everyone with her open house at her greenhouse. It was a lot of fun to help her as well as earn something too!

Shabbat the 7th was our monthly Shabbat gathering. We unveiled our new website for our congregation - Yaakov's Flock - at www.yaakovsflock.org. Everyone really like it which made me quite happy.

Then that evening, we went to a Paul Wilbur concert. Over half of our congregation went. We were able to squeeze all of us in Daria's vehicle which just held the eight of us! It was so fun to go with a group. We laughed and talked the whole way there with a Paul Wilbur CD playing in the background to get us in the mood. The concert was very good although I must admit I really liked the first one I went to last year better. I was able to go up and talk with Paul again and get my latest CD signed. He and Eddie know each other and always send each other greetings when I go! :)

Sunday, the 8th, was a normal day at home plus Momma and I ran the paper route together.

This week (the 9-13) proved to be a very busy week at home. I was only gone for cake class Monday and Tuesday nights...and then a shorter day cleaning on Wednesday. I finally feel like I'm catching up on my to do list. Working on pieces for my new ministry, Standing in YHVH's Hand Ministries; 501c3 paperwork; working for Paul Nison; helping Eddie Chumney; helping with the family bakery; milking the cow; cleaning; and making tzitzits are just some of the things you will find on my to do list.

Thursday night was the conference call for Beyond Organic which is a brand new launched organization to be able to get meat that is organic and Biblically Kosher and many other healthy products. Interested in knowing more? Please visit my website at www.mybeyondorganics.com.

Well, back to work... And, Yah willing, I'll be doing better at blogging now. :)
