I am leaving out TONS of details here to give a quick overview of how He has instructed us from one step to the other. This review of His work has helped me to see His preparation for the next new assignment. Each decision by itself seems strange enough in the world. My past journalContinue reading “(Stewardship 8) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Aliens and Strangers in the world”

(Stewardship 7) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 3: Education
As the children grow, the next real life challenge is to train them in the way they should go. In their most formable years, I simply don’t see myself with the capability to sort through 5-day-week public school indoctrination and peer influence. Year after year, the cumulative effects from outside influence and secular education wouldContinue reading “(Stewardship 7) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 3: Education”
(Stewardship 6) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Chain of Spirit-led decisions
Christian living is a chain reaction of Spirit-led decisions. Every decision is a spiritual reality. One life and death choice will lead us to abundant living one choice after another. I don’t need to have all the answers.

(Stewardship 5) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 2b: Birth System
When it came to birthing choices for my second child, I was more prepared and empowered by what I had learned about natural birth. Comparing statitics of risks, I was able to make a more informed lower-risk choice. God carried me through one natural birth at the hospital and two successful home births. I wasContinue reading “(Stewardship 5) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 2b: Birth System”
(Stewardship 4) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 2a: Medical System
The next shake-up moment was the decision to home birth. That was a challenge with the medical system, a biggie nowadays! I confess it is much easier to go to the doctor and just do what I am told. Don’t get me wrong: there is definitely a place for doctors and medical care. The issueContinue reading “(Stewardship 4) “Fear the Lord” and “He will instruct”: Shake-up 2a: Medical System”

(Stewardship 1) Seeking His will to take back the stewardship of the land (Rob’s Introduction)
We are about to post Elyse’s journal that she wrote for a few days starting on March 25, 2023. This was before we purchased property in Missouri and before we moved. We are now in Missouri and we have been so busy getting the house “fixed up” (an understatement that will need to be aContinue reading “(Stewardship 1) Seeking His will to take back the stewardship of the land (Rob’s Introduction)”
