April 7, 2015 Excitement!

Wow! It's already been 6 months since the last time I wrote!!
   Homeschooling has definitely come a long way and we've finally been able to get into a proper routine and are enjoying it.
   The last month or so was a challenge due to my pretty rough morning sickness...yep, that's right, we are expecting!!

September of this year we will be welcoming a precious little one into the world. It was unexpected but we are completely ecstatic and feel blessed that God has given us the opportunity to have a child.

The girls are over the moon with excitement as they will be getting a new sister or brother! We've been busy looking at nursery supplies and dreaming over baby clothes together. We can't find out the gender yet as I'm not quite far enough along to find out, so we can't buy blue or pink yet.

I have to admit that I'm not terribly thrilled at the prospect of being huge and prego during the hottest months of the year, but I'll just have to hang out in front of our little window air conditioner to keep cool LOL!

Anyway, let's see how long it takes me to write in my blog THIS time  :-)

Talk to ya later!

October 23, 2014

     I have to apologize to you all for not being able to keep up my blog over the last couple of years. Due to the sensitive nature of some of the goings on as well as the minors involved I am unable to give you details, just suffice it to say that God answers prayer with a resounding 'yes' for some and a disappointing 'no' for others.

I've come to realize that the truth doesn't always come out. Now...I don't mean that we should all be bitter and miserable human beings because we're not 'guaranteed' to have the wrongdoings of others brought to light, but we should all look at the fact that God has much better intentions than we ever will or could have.

I've had several people turn on me like snakes in the grass and stab me in the back,not only supporting those trying to destroy me but actively seeking to find the 'bad', even if they have to make it up.
   My human nature wants me to scream from the mountain tops, "LISTEN TO ME, THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!!"
But I mean, honestly, do you think my words would be enough??

   I was talking to a friend of mine and we both came to the realization that, it's REALLY hard to just 'be'.

   As most of you have witnessed in the 'anonymous' commenters of my blog, people will believe what they want to believe and not always what the facts show. 

   I have done my best to write when The Lord lays it upon my heart to do so and if it riles people up or ruffles feathers.....oh well.

   As this blog is called 'My Life Unchained', I am now feeling the need to start writing again. To allow others to see a glimpse into my life and walk with God. 

    I KNOW I haven't always done the 'right' thing in the view of others, but I also know that God is the only One Who has seen my heart and the intentions thereof. I'm not worried,so long as I prayerfully consult with Him in prayer before going ahead with whatever it was/is I need to do.

    I would like to add that I will no longer be allowing comments on my posts. All it does is hurt people (which is and has been the intentions of said commenters) and I'm not going to let it continue. 

If people would like to send me emails they are more than welcome to, there is a 'contact me' button for such purposes.

To My Sister Julia On Her 21st Birthday

    Julia, 

Not a day,week,or year has gone by that I don't think of you. You have always and will always be close to my heart.

    You were so young when I ran away, and there are many times where I wish I had tried to take you with me. 

I realize that wouldn't have been possible because you were so young at the time,but I would have if I could. PLEASE know that!

Now as you have reached the 'age of majority' both according to Canada AND the U.S., I would like to extend myself to you and offer you a place to live with my daughters and I in our home.

   We don't have much, but we are family and I want you to know how much I miss and pray for you and I REALLY want you to know that you are welcome here ANY TIME, day or night.

(And no,I am NOT living with anyone as the gossip suggests)

   

There isn't anyone in this world that can force you to stay where you are....not anyone. 

Let them get mad,let them try and convince you otherwise, but you're an adult and are allowed to choose where you live. Even if your father says 'no'. There are MANY that are able to help you leave if that is what you choose to do.

I hate the fact that in order to even try and communicate with you I have to write in such a public manner,but this is the only sure way of knowing that you  receive my message.

The 'Contact Me' button is connected to my private email to which I am the ONLY one that has access to. So feel free to write me at any time.

My phone number is also listed in the phone book.

I love you Julia and I hope that you have an awesome 21st birthday today!
