As mothers there is so much that we do. Often times when we allow ourselves to become discouraged we wonder if anyone notices or if we are making a difference. I would like to encourage you to continue on and refocus during those times when you might feel invisible or unappreciated.
There has been a lot of of talk lately about the "Church of Oprah." Her statement about how there couldn't possibly be only one way has received much attention. How arrogant a people who would say God has not done enough! Here is the Gospel message presented by one of my favorite teachers of the Word, R.C. Sproul. What a sweet message the Gospel is!
I found this great video! It is short, funny, and to the point. If you are in a reader, click over and watch it! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.
Catholic, Evangelical, and Reformed By R.C. Sproul
Reformed theology is catholic in that it teaches truths Christians proclaim and evangelical in that it shares the Protestant heritage, but it is also distinctive because its doctrine of God is its controlling doctrine.

Jacque has a great testimony about this hymn and how the Lord has used it in her life, in the past and just the other day! It is one of my favorites also. Since Jacque has the words and a story on her blog, I thought I would place a recording on mine. This arrangement is sung by Jars of Clay and I love it!!
Here is an easy get out of debt plan. It will work every time! Did you manage Black Friday with no new debt? Leave it to Steven Martin for a good laugh and yet so to the point! I am still chuckling over here! Those of you in a reader, pop over and watch this short clip!
I know I have posted about Sons of Korah before but I absolutely love how they put music to the Psalms. Please take a moment to listen and be blessed. The words to Psalm 130 are below if you want to follow along.
Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
May we never forget those we lost. Please honor our military, whether you agree or not with the current military efforts, remember they are fighting for your freedom! Support the troops!
It has been a while since I have posted about what to watch. Here is one of my absolute favorites! Not only is Pride and Prejudice a great book but the latest movie based on the story is also great! This is something my girls and I have watched over and over again. It is the perfect thing to watch on a lazy Saturday afternoon or an evening cuddling with your spouse. If you are like me though, it is the absolute most perfect fit to watch when your hubby is out of town. This movie is a romantic comedy, and so it is great for a girls movie night. Being a romantic comedy though you can also watch with your husband though it may not be his favorite. But as you can see it is one of my favorites, watchable on any and all occasions!(except maybe a guys movie night when they would rather watch Rambo or something). Enjoy the trailer and then go watch the whole thing.
My name is Kristine. I am a child of the Most High, helpmeet to a wonderful man, and a stay at home mother. I am also a classical christian homeschooler. I am reformed and covenantal in my theology and hold to the quiverful conviction. My husband is a minister in the United States Air Force and we currently have eight precious children, all of whom we consider blessings from the Lord.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture."
