Lighthouses

I love the lighthouse it signifies Jesus being the one that lights our way. Without him we would be nothing. I am so glad that I have a friend in Jesus.

He is our lighthouse.

Psalms 27:1 "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalms 119:130 "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."

Matthew 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

Menopause Chronicles

Well I am starting something new. I had a hysterectomy done last June. And since then I have been going through menopause. It is not a joyfull thing to go through. I welcomed the change from having all the painful menstraul cycles and the non stop bleeding sometimes. But menopause is totally not what I expected. I knew it would be hard but not this miserable. I wake up with the back of my neck dripping wet from the night sweats. And oh boy the mood swings are getting on mine and my husbands nerves. I will tell you some more as the times come about.

Being a mother and what I cherish from it.

I Love being a mother. My Son was born Jan. 14, 1998. And we have had a wonderful realtionship. I love the idea of someone looking up to me. I always told myself that I wanted to be a nurse, a teacher, and alot of other things. I havefound out ecspecially know that I am homeschooling Michael, that I am everything I have ever wanted to be.

Homeschooling is a challenge but to me is worth it. I use Christian Liberty Academy, they have a wonderful curriculm. They have a Bible course that my son loves. Because there is stucture behind learning what the Bible has to say. Ths year heis in 3rd grade and my husband has told me that he is going to help out this year.

Know Iam not trying to say that beng a mother is all easy, it is not. But there are more rewards than anything.

Well I made eggrolls today. They turned out really good. Here is the recipe I use.

Ingredients:

Ginger

Soy Sauce

Cornstarch

Baking Soda

2 Chicken Breasts

2 Nappa Cabbage

2 Cans of Bean Sprouts

2 Cans of mushrooms

Egg roll wrappers (you will need to get two but will only use half of the 2nd package)

For the paste:

Ginger

Soy Sauce

Cornstarch

Baking soda

You boil down two nappa cabbages and while you are doing that you cook two chicken breasts that you cut up into cubes.

Then you mix the cabbage, chicken, 2 cans of bean sprouts, 2 cans of mushrooms. And add the paste boil until thick, if it does not thicken add water and cornstarch.

After it is all mixed up, lay on eggroll wrappers and roll up, deep fry until golden brown and Enjoy.

Well today is Monday and laundry day . I can not say I enjoy Mondays. Laundry is not the most fun thing in my life. I can not wait to be finished with it.

This is my little brother Mark and his wife Joann. Mark jut koined the Army. Please keep him in your prayers. He is stationed in Ft. Hood. He is in the Pratriot Unit.

Here are some pictures of my cats. The bigger one is named Tom. He is almost 3 know. and the smaller one is Theo, he is only 4 mo. We got Tom in October because the doctor recommended me to get an animal such as a dog or a cat. And living in an apartment wecould not have a dog. And my huband actually reall wanted Theo. They are so smart and funny to watch. Michael likes them alot also. It gives him responsiblility.

On the 4th of July we went to Long Beach, Washington. This was the first time I was at the ocean.

We had so much fun. There were so many people. And lots and lots of fireworks.

I would love to go again but this time take my husband. My husband stayed home.

Michael and I went with Charlie and Sue Ann Granger. They are our neighbours and friends from church. We had ice cream which was delicious. The sunset was unbeliebable. Michael had so much fun.
