Thank you for stopping by. It's my hope you find glimpses of my Savior interwoven thru my writings. I am the wife to one husband for over 25 years, a blessed mama to a dozen children, yes each born from me ~ two of which see Jesus face to face & ten at home, all of us yearning to see Jesus someday. We have been home educating for over 18 years with . . . well, another 15 years to go (the youngest is 3, the oldest 23!) I have walked through rejection, to continually learning I am CALLED, LOVED and forever KEPT by God - never, ever to be rejected by Jesus! (Jude 1:1) I've walked through deep sorrow to find that joy does come again, though the night may be long; I've witnessed God orchestrating miracles with my children still beyond my comprehension, & I am seeing new love forming as we begin a new road of older children finding life mates. My life has and is a journey, from the deepest, almost rock bottom pit, to stumbling through my faith and looking towards the ultimate climax of everlasting life in heaven. Will you be joining me here and there? ~ Loni

9 weeks - Finally Seeing Changes with Remodeling

I did not even realize until 6 pm that it's "Saturday - 9 weeks since Matthew's death" and did not watch the clock today. That was good! We have been real busy the last couple of days with finally making some headway with the remodeling. We are changing bedrooms all around. The twins are in a real small bedroom, and are going to take our bedroom, and keep Bethany (21 mo) with them who still sleeps with us. The two younger boys are going to take the twins bedroom. Our older son is going to make a bedroom in our downstairs family room, and we are going to take the boys' large bedroom. So, Norm is working on the downstairs bathroom which will actually become ours and Stephen's. We moved the twins temporarily into the toddler bedroom. It's quite cramped with five in there, but it makes it possible to work on the twin's bedroom to make it the boy's bedroom (lost yet?!?!?!). There was a private doorway between the two girl's rooms, and a friend is over from church, and has taken that out and drywalled it up. I and Jayson and Heather have been painting the "new" boy's bedroom. They want a sports car theme, and have painted gray over the pink that was in there, and later will put up the sports car border. Jayson & Benjamin are REAL EXCITED about it, which is a joy to see. I think in a few days they should be able to move in there and won't be sleeping on the couches anymore! We are making progress.

We gave had some beautiful Michigan days - almost forty degrees and sunshine. We are very thankful for that - makes things seem brighter in many ways.

Continue praying regarding Norm's job situation. He is really hoping he will get called back to the same place. He's sent resumes out to several other places, but so many tool & die places are laying off and we just heard of one going through bankruptcy. It's helped to move forward on our projects, but there's just so much that can be done too when the normal bills continue! :)



Thanks for your prayers and caring for us. Today was an "up" day!

Dear Loni, I am so thrilled to see that Saturday was an up day! I am also glad for all the work you all are doing. I am praying for Norm for the job stuff....

Julie is from Luke's blog and it is amazing to me that the Lord brought her here and Sue, Julie & I are all together praying for you and we all pray for Luke.

Please know...even last night when I couldn't sleep I prayed for you... I think of you often.

Hi Loni,

Happy Valentine's Day,I hope it is a good day for your family.

Well Praise the Lord, it's good to hear that things are going better. I'm so glad to hear that you are working out the room situation, it sounds like a good solution.
I will continue to pray for Norm to be asked back to work at the place where he was working.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17
Thank you for your encouraging note on Luke's blog, it means so much to me to know people are praying for his complete healing.
Love in Christ,
Sue
