You just don’t know…

Whew!!!!

This weekend was crazy fun and exciting… there is plenty more excitement to come in the next few months though with a wedding and then the arrival of my first grand child… I just can’t wait!

This post isn’t an update on all of that though … we will post soon about that. This post is one that has been on my heart and maybe someone else needs to read it.

Biblical Feasts: Holy Days vs Holidays

I’ve been extremely interested in the Biblical Feasts and Holy Days that are mentioned in the Bible, but it can be a little overwhelming to try to figure all of this out. Check out Leviticus 23 for more information.

The Sabbath is probably one of the most well-known of these Holy Days, and I would like to start keeping it the way it should be kept

Check out our Perpetual Meal Plans for ideas to celebrate some of these Holy Days!

These are some of the other Holy Days and Feasts that I want to learn more about so that they can be properly celebrated.

  1. Passover (Spring)
  2. Unleavened Bread (Spring)
  3. Feast of Weeks / Shavuot / Pentecost (Spring)
  4. Trumpets / Yom Teruah (Fall)
  5. Atonement / Yom Kippur / The Fast (Fall)
  6. Tabernacles / Sukkot (Fall)
  7. Eighth Day / Last Great Day (Fall)

The first three are about things that have already come to pass while the last four are telling us of things that are yet to come. It is more than a little exciting to think of all that we have to look forward to!

There are other days that I find interesting as well and I would like to research them a little more.

When God Says No, Not Yet…

A couple of weeks ago I posted about some BIG NEWS that we might have to share… well, unfortunately, that big news is no news this time. Yes, I’m a little heartbroken, well maybe more than just a little.

Once again we had set out to look for a house but this time we had found the PERFECT one! It wasn’t too big or too small… in fact, it was the only one we’ve seen that felt like HOME the moment I walked in the front door. I was afraid to say anything because I didn’t want to ‘jinx it’. I prayed and had some of my family and close friends praying about it. I also knew in my heart that I needed to be prepared for any outcome.

Everyone seemed pretty optimistic as we filled out the paperwork and submitted it for approval. Let me tell you that waiting, with fingers and toes crossed, is very agonizing. Then we got word that the loan was not approved… my heart sank. We tried again with a co-signer, then again with another company, and another with the same answer. I knew that GOD was saying NO, Not yet my child.

However now we know what the problem(s) are and we are taking steps to fix this in the future. These issues have probably caused us to miss out on this PERFECT house but I know that in the future there will be a time when GOD does say YES and it will be more than we ever expected.
