I am really missing a garden this year. We did not plant anything because we really thought we would be in our "OWN" home by now.But GOD has other plans for us. We are waiting on the home we would like to come down.I see other post about gardens and chickens and such and I so miss mine!!! I know that all good things comes to those that wait,but the LORD knows I am NOT good at waiting.Maybe that is what he is trying to teach me,more patients. lol
I know next year we will be able to grow our own food. I also know that as long as we get in the house before winter we will be able to get our chickens and have fresh eggs.

We found a house
Yes we found a house we love!!! It is not in Montana as we thought it would be, it is not 20 ac. like we thought it would be.It is however a really pretty house on almost 5 ac. has a creek in the back. We do love Kentucky and think this is where we will be staying for a long time!
We are now in the offer game with the bank as this is a foreclosure home. We know what we are willing to go up to and we know they will come down it is just a matter of waiting them out.I am not good at waiting!!!! So this is a test for me I am sure.
We already know where we are going to put the chickens and a goat.The kids can not wait to get out there. I so hope that we can close before June. SO please pray that we can get it all worked out!

Wow! I need to post more.
Well we have been so busy.We are looking for property and it is taking forever! We really want to get our homestead up and growing.I know it is not in our time but HIS. We hope and pray that we will find a place by the end of May.We are looking in three different states,Kentucky (where we live now) Missouri and Montana. We really love Montana and I think that is where GOD is leading us.We look at all the listings for all three states and always end up at the Montana ones.We just feel so much peace when we look at them. I know it will be a lot of learning involved but I think we are up to the challenge! Please just pray for us,that we are able to hear HIS will .

Christams 2010 and New Year
The Mata's Christmas 2010!! It was great. The kids had their very first "white Christmas" it was so pretty.
We are looking forward to many changes this year. We still have not decided weather we will move to Montana or around here. I am leaning towards Montana.I just feel that is where we should be.We are praying hard that GOD will show us and open our eyes to HIS will.I ask that you do the same for us.
Happy New Year !!!

Holidays
Well we had a good Thanksgiving. Holiday's are a bittersweet thing. I am happy to celebrate with my family, but I am very sad about my children that are not here for us to celebrate with.
Jarret has been gone for 7 years now.I know he is up in heaven safe,happy and healthy,Hilliary has been gone for 1 1/2 years, again she is safe happy,cradled in the arms of Jesus.I miss them more than I can say. My life has not been the same since they went to Glory.But it was better for them and I know they will never hurt or be sick again.
Now as for our oldest son Brett,he is with my dad which at the moment is a good thing because my dad's health is not doing good.But he will not talk to us and we haven't seen him in over a year. Brett has had to deal with the death of his mawmaw whom he was very close to,his brother and sister. That is almost to much for me,not to mention a child(which Brett was when his mawmaw and brother died.)
Our next daughter Veronica. She made up some really bad things and left the house. We have not talked to her for a 1 1/2.Part of her problem is that she blames herself for Hilliarys death.We tried to tell her that it was just God's time and Hilliary was is so much pain we were happy for Hilliary,sad for us and that no would blamed her because she had not gone into the room a few minutes earlier. She is in counseling and again I pray she will come around. She has had a lot of things in her 18 years to deal with,her mother pretty much abandoned her when we got custody( my dh's ex) and did not speak to her for over 7 years,would not let her have contact with her 1/2 sisters,her brother and sister dieing. Her life has not been easy. Please pray for her as well.
I never thought my family would be so messed up. But that is what happens when the "world" gets ahold of it. I have learned that the secular things will tear your family apart. I know that GOD will get us through and that HIS will be done. BUT I also know that we have to give our self to HIM in order for HIM to show us HIS mercy. GOD gave us permissive will which unfortunately we use,and HE has HIS perfect will which is for us all to live in HIS lite.
GOD be with you and yours,GOD take care of my wayward children until come back!

I am back!
Well it has been WAY to long since I posted.I am sorry.
Well things here have been good.Fred's furniture business is going good. We did an entire cabin for someone,beds,dressers,night stands,dinning room table,bar stools all of it. It looked great!!! Here are some pics. I dont have one of the table yet but will posat it later.
We are now looking at moving to Montana,yes Montana. We really want to be off grid and the land there is so cheap and so pretty. I hope and pray it will be next year.We have been reading alot about off grid living,how to make our own solar panels,wood stove cooking. There is so much to learn. I just cant wait! And now with the adoption credit being converted to a refund WOW!!! It just makes it so much easier to do this.We would have never used the tax credit but with it being turned into a refund ,I just pray it is GOD's will and it come through.
I also am looking into becoming a CASA. For those that dont know it is a volunter for foster children. You speak for the child. The parents have their lawyer state has he case worker the child has no one,except(if they have a good foster parent) the foster parent an the CASA.I guess with us moving I will have to wait until we know for sure when we will move but where we end up I plan on doing it.
Well I could ramble all day about what has been going on but I will save it for more post ! lol. GOD BLESS
