Point Lookout State Park (maryland)
Before we left maryland, we took one last trip to the ocean (well, the chesapeake bay really:) I'm so glad that we did cause I totally miss it. These pictures are of Point lookout. Beware.....theres lots of them :)

Below, the remains of what was once a very popular seaside resort from the 1920's. I find this amazing. But of course I would :)
So sad....I grrrrr war. But I love freedom.
Below: this area in front of the sign is where there used to be a shack, where there was part of the underground railroad.
This is inside the prisoners camp in Fort Lincoln. What it would have looked like.

Updates
Ok, so you know that you don't blog often enough when you have to start one with "updates".
My parents will be here on Friday evening. I'm so glad they are coming. I feel so exhausted, and I just want to get this move over with. Tyson does'nt have to work again until after I leave, so he's able to help. I just seem to lose what precious little energy I do get so quickly. I've been going to the doctor for my migranes, and I think I got this medicine figured out. But it's so much, and I hate taking medicine. I'm still on a journey researching herbs, and I would like to try this route eventually.
I think I should really see a chiropracter. My neck and middle back just feel horrible no matter what I do. But I have never been, and have no idea how much it costs. :( We will see what happens after this move.
I am still sort of struggling with God about getting a job, and possibly putting my kids in school. I know I need to let it go, and just obey, but it's really hard. I just keep finding myself going back to "This is not what I had planned....", and "I just want to stay at home and raise my kids....be a keeper of the home..." etc. But I know that even though that is what I want, I put it above everything else, God, and my husband. So I need to lay it down and obey both! And it's so funny (well, not really) how quickly Satan can get in there and make me resentful, and angry, and bitter. Whew! No wonder why I'm exhausted!

Today was my last day doing daycare. I have mixed emotions....I'll miss the kids, but I'm also ready to start the next step of our lives.
God is really teaching me how to truly trust in Him. I am so amazed at the peace I feel, even when thinking of and faced with the things I hate, and do NOT want to do, I feel ready to do them regardless, because I feel to not do them, or do them with a bad additude would be to directly disobey God.
How scary would that be? I could surely do what I "feel" is right, or what I think is even Godly. But how does that stand up against scripture?
I have a wonderful dream of staying home, being a helper suitable. To do nothing but truly honor and bless my husband daily. Nothing would make me happier.
BUT, is that what he wants? Not right now. So who do I obey? I'm called to be a helpmeet for my husband. I'm to honor him, but am I doing that the way that I think honors him? Or the way he needs me to honor him?
And I need to trust God, to know, that HIS plans are right for us. They may not be what I want, because I cannot see the end goal. But to know that God asked me to do something, and with everything in I obey, no matter how difficult, THAT is what I truly want to strive for.

Our new house

Our Backyard
My view from the kicthen windowLord thank you for the wonderful gifts you bless me with everyday. Thank you for this house, and I pray you will help me to make it a home, a haven for all who enter. Lord, only you could make this happen so smoothly. We were worried and stressed about having to pay to move from where we live now, but you have provided. We couldn't find home insurance at a reasonable price, and You have provided again. Everything is going into place, through your hands Lord. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow.........

God's provisions
Today we find out about the appraisal, and get our inspections done for the new house. I'm nervous, but excited. Whatever happens is God's will for us, and I will rejoice whatever the outcome!
I have been studying and reading up on herbs, and using them for healing. I got alot of help from the ladies on my favorite chatboard, and even more from the websites suggested. I find myself very cautious though. I was raised in a Unitarian Universalist Church growing up.......they welcome all people from all religions. I was introduced to alot of witchcraft and spells and things like that, and now as a Christian, it is hard to find things like herbs and natural homeopathy without running across witchcraft.
I believe that God made the herbs and plants used for healing, and that he fully intends for us to use them for good. I'm tired of the affects of modern medicine, and vaccines, and antibiotics, when there is a perfectly good way to heal my family with the plants God provides. Not to mention it's much cheaper!
That being said, I start my journey to finding ways to help heal my family with the things God supplies. Hopefully in a new house with a big yard :)
