Spring is here!

It's great to have spring finally here in the North! After a long winter, the hopes of a warm day help a lot. Not all days are warm, but some, like today are. Upper 50s is welcome in my town. Sunny and beautiful. I'm excited to do our school and finish up so we can spend some time outdoors. I'm looking forward to putting a load on the clothesline to dry so the smell of the outdoors comes in on us. Also it's eco-friendly. God likes eco-friendly. He loves when we care about His creation as much as He does. Grant it, He love us more, because we are the ones He created with extra special touch of the Master's Hands. He breathed His glorious life into each and everyone of us. Whether it have been Adam back in the Garden of Eden which was the first breath of life, to the baby born minutes ago in Indonesia from a Muslim or animism background. God breathed into everyone. Whether we acknowledge Him or not. Whether we ever choose to believe in Him or not. His imprint of life and the possibility of salvation through His Son, Jesus, is on the hearts of every person that has ever lived.
I know it's hard to believe in some cases. The mass evil that displays in some people or nations is horrifying. But that is not the work of God. It's the work of the devil. Satan...and yes, he is real! God created the angel Lucifer and he wanted to be greater than God and God wouldn't have it. It's not possible anyways. But for the opposition that showed no remorse or repentance God threw Lucifer and his followers, demons, into hell. We now know him as Satan. And saying that Satan exists isn't an excuse for sin. No far from it. It's an acknowledging that there is a force that is compelled to hate us and see our demise. Sure I believe in a person being possessed by a demon and there's oppression, the whispering in a ear. But it can't happen to a saved, sanctified and redeemed Christian. There was the debate on Nightline last week that was a hot topic on everyone's lips for a while. So that is what strikes up this part of the post.

The world needs Jesus...and the world needs to acknowledge and consider and believe in Jesus. His creation, His love is all around us everyday. If you can't see it, look to the cross He died on. It's his greatest display...and then the 3 days later rising from the grave....is His greatest VICTORY!
Stuff that Deepak Chopra!

All about Applemama

I'm a homeschool mother of 4 wonderful children. My girls are 11, 4 and 2. My only son is 8 and full of energy. We live in rural PA, and have 8 chickens, 5 rabbits, 3 cats, 3 ducks, and one mouse.

We were married here 11 years ago and moved off to FL - then to VA - and now back here after my husband's job was uprooted and not transplanted. He found a job to work in his field (at least somewhat) and we are taking a wonderful opportunity to move back to where we met. We have old friends here and enjoy reconnecting with the church where we were married. We love it and are making many new friends.
