I am mother of 5 boys and 3 girls. Ages 22-9. I blog about day to day living and what God has done to bless our lives. I home school our daughter age 9 and that is a joy and always full of surprises.
We live on a small farm in Northern Missouri and love the peaceful living. I love meeting new people and am intrigued by the wave of blogging on the internet.
My Husband is a pastor at two small rural churches. He is a true man of God who deserves better than me but for some unfathomable reason loves me anyway.:)
God is first and foremost in my life, marriage, and the lives of my children. We love to study His word and being involved in our church.
We also are foster parents and that is a true joy in our lives. We are blessed with a 17 year old and her 1 year old daughter. They are very well adjusted kids and everyone is just one big happy family.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. (Proverbs 4:23)
The Bible says we are to guard our hearts, to secure the truth in our heart. We must be careful not to allow the enemy to enter our hearts and rob us of life.
Our heart, our feeling of love and desire, dictates to a great extent how we live because we always find time to do what we enjoy. Solomon tells us to guard our heart above all else, making sure we concentrate on those desires that will keep us on the right path. Make sure you affections push you in the right direction. Put boundaries on your desires: don't go after everything you see. Look straight ahead, keep your eyes fixed on your goal, and don't get sidetracked on detours that lead to sin.

Who I Am
My name is Jeannie. Mother to 9 fabulous kids whom I would lay down my life for. And wife to an extraordinary minister of God, who deserves better than me but, for unfathomable reasons, loves me anyway. Together we serve God in three small UMC churches in northern MO. Richard preaches God's Word diligently and praise God he has the full support of his family to help him along the way.
