After years and years of praying to GOD,begging my husband and just hoping.We are moving out of Florida!!! I am so excited,I know GOD has plans for us.I have been telling Fred for years that I did not feel like GOD wanted us to stay here ,well HE finally made it happen.
We will be leaving Florida around the 8th of September headed for a new life.
I dont want to say where because of some personal things.But just let me say that when you tend to stray away from where and how GOD wants you he has a way of knocking you back in line!!! I dont mean that in a bad way,just that we had gotten of track and now we are back headed where and how we should be.
There is so much to do and sell.We are selling everything we dont have to have.My poor hubby has sold 3 of his guns,alot of his tools and I cant seem to sell anything.I thought that all my baby stuff would sell quickly,but it hasnt!! May be GOD is keeping for a reason.
If anyone is reading this plaese pray for our oldest.Things are not right with him .He is really of track and needs to come back to GOD.He moved out and I have not talked to him since then.It is so hard to loose Hilly and then 2 weeks later Brett leaves.My heart is breaking ,but I know GOD has HIS plans and we just have to let HIM be in control.

Okay I am back.The little ones are taking a quiet time so lets see how much I can get done.
Hilliary is almost 17. I cant believe she is that old. She has such a strong spirit it amazes me. She always had so much life to her,it is hard to see her just laying that bed. She cant get up to do anything anymore and it breaks my heart.She still manages to get out a smile and even try to sing on her REALLY good days. She is so pretty.I hate Batten's!!!!! I wish I could see her "normal" how she would be. Up until about 2 years ago she was doing pretty good,still able to walk with help and talk she even got in the pool ,which she loved!!! But she started declining and it just hasn't seemed to stop. Every day I wonder if I will find her like I did JJ.I know she will be better off in God's arms but mine will miss her.There is nothing like pre-planning your child's funeral.
Veronica is 16 and such a great help.She will be a great mom one day.She has learned how to cook and can make a very pretty loaf of bread.She sews and is so sweet. She has the thickest hair I have ever seen. She gets some flack about wanting a big family and wanting to be a homemaker but she stands firm in her belief and just keeps her ground.
Rebekah is 11 and is my "problem child" She is so defiant and hard to handle. We just keep to our guns and let her know that GOD does not accept disrespect and we wont either. I know she will change as she gets older,goodness I was told when I was younger I would argue with a stop sign if I thought I was right!
Olivia is 6, she is a mini Veronica,she looks so much like her sister it isn't funny. She is so petite and so dainty looking but let me tell you she will take off with the boys catching frogs,lizards etc with no problem.She is very friendly and is just wonderful.
Ryan is 5 and a mini Brett! From his love of joking around to his intelligence. He has even seen pictures of his oldest brother and swore it was him no matter who told him otherwise.He loves church and I have to say is the first to learn bible verses.
Samuel is 4 and my beloved says is a mini him ! Into everything and no fear. My husband says he was just like that when he was a kid.But Samuel loves to be cuddled. And will help out in the kitchen if I let him.
Sophia is 3 and rules the house!!! I don't know what it is about her but no one wants to see her cry. Even the other children will give into her. She is so loving and smart. She reminds me of her oldest sister when she was 3. So bubbly and adorable.
Richard is 2 and a BIG boy!!!! Nothing comes between him and his food. He is taller then Sophia and out weighs her by 2 pounds. He is a mamas boy not in a bad way but loves to be held. He will run from the time he gets up until he has to go to bed.And where ever there is water you will find him!
There that is brief introduction to our clan.As soon as I can figure out to get my pictures to show up where I want them I will post more pics.

There that is brief introduction to our clan.As soon as I can figure out to get my pictures to show up where I want them I will post more pics.
Good morning.
I thought I would let you get to know us.
I will start off with myself.I love to sew,bake,worship,garden and spend time with my family.Not to interesting but that is me.I am a country girl and love the country life.I want our children to grow up the same way I did.There are so many children who think time with family consist of going to the mall,or a theme park.It is not time with family is just that time with family. We love to have fires out by the pond,walk through the woods,or go to some of the local forts we have.
My husband is a wonderful man who has been a rock when I needed it. We meet 14 years ago,neither of us were saved at the time.When we met I had Brett,Jarret and Hilliary from my first marriage,he had Veronica from his.About 6 months after we met Jarret started loosing his eye sight but Fred stayed,then a few month later we learned that Hilliary would go blind as well again he was there. There are so many men(bio fathers) that would run and could not handle things being wrong with their child but my husband stayed!
Later when we found out JJ and Hilly(about 3 years later) had a terminal illness again I told him I would understand if he wanted to leave but he stayed and is and always has been a wonderful husband and father.He puts his family first no matter what.
Brett our oldest is a great young man. He has been through so much and yet has dealt with thing s good. He is almost 21 and is such a good brother to his younger siblings.
Jarret was a wonderful boy,so full of life with eyes so blue you could get lost in them.Always happy and he never seemed upset about loosing his eye sight ,just seemed to take it in stride.We did not stop him from trying anything (with in reason) he wanted. Jarret had a disease called Batten Disease,it is horrible and there is no cure for it.As a parent you have to sit by and watch your child slip away little by little.There is nothing you can do except be there for them. The disease causes blindness,seizures,they lose the ability to walk,talk swallow.It changes the child personality. If you want to read more you can visits the battens web site www.bdsra.org .Jarret was 12 when he passed,it caught us by complete surprise.He was still able to talk and walk with help.The day he passed he was telling everyone that he loved us and jumping on the couch.That night my husband checked on him around 1:30 am he was okay ,I went in at 6:45 and he was gone. GOD took his precious angle home . My heart fell out of my chest. Nothing can compare to the loss of a child.Jarret was almost 13.HE passed away 11 days before his birthday. Jarret Eldridge Jones 8/26/90-8/15/03 Gone with GOD and is now whole never will he ever experience pain or seizures again. One day I see my baby boy again.
I will fill in about Hilliary,Veronica and Rebekah ,Olivia,Ryan,Samuel,Sophia and Richard next post,the crew is up and demanding food!!!!

Hello and welcome
I am new to blogging so please bear with me. I thought I would introduce myself and my family.
My name is Deborah ,I am the wife of Fred for almost 14 years,mom to 10 wonderful children.We have a yours,mine ours family.We have a strong faith in GOD and try to live daily to please HIM. My daughter's and I dress modestly and we are training them to be helpmates to their future husbands,our sons are being trained to love their wife and family.They are all being raised to Love and Obey the LORD.
We have lost one son Jarret ,he was almost 13 (11 days before he turned 13) he died from a disease called Batten Disease. It is a rare genetic disease he was our second son,our oldest daughter Hilliary also has the disease and we fear is at the end stages of it she is 16.GOD has given us the strength to come through this and know we will one day get to be with them again.
We live on 3 acres in Florida but want to move if and when the Lord see fit.
