A real me post..................

Here it is................a real Miranda Scheer post................my house is a wreck and totally disorganized right now. I'm considering posting pics, but don't know how real I really want to get. I feel like I have 3 or 4 full time jobs and is needed at all of them at the same time. Job #1 - Wife Job #2 - Mother Job #3 - Teacher Job #4 - Housekeeper....but my most important job is to be a Daughter of the King. I wonder what my heavenly Father would say about all this.........? I'll let you know tomorrow, I need to ask Him.

Hello!

It's been a long time since I posted on here! I will admit I have become addicted to FACEBOOK. I love facebook! It has allowed me to connect with a ton of old friends and acquaintances. You know, the people that you say, "I wonder what ever happened to them?" Now I know. Most importantly I pray that I get an opportunity to witness to them. So many people are unsaved and drifting through life with no clear direction. I pray I can be the Christian witness to them that I wasn't in junior high or high school. Time is such a fleeting thing. I really want to use my time wisely.

I've been praying about what to do with my blog. I've considered deleting it, revamping it, or going a different direction with it. I guess I want to have a set purpose for it. I mean does anyone even read it? Should I try to be a blessing to others or just be real about the ups and downs of a homeschooling family trying to do things "God's Way." I've seen tons of blogs....ministry blogs......family blogs.....blogs from people who are gifted with writing.....anything you can think of there is a blog for it. But for my blog, I want to just be real, not the person I want people to think I am, but just me. There are going to be days when I vent and weep, but there are going to be others days when I shine with joy and appreciation over a child finally "getting it!" Maybe someone will stumble upon this blog and be blessed or encouraged to keep going on. So, in the next few month this blog will be under construction. I'll be adding stuff and rearranging stuff. I've even considered having some guest bloggers. So please excuse the mess......

Snow, Snow, Snow.......

It's been snowing for about a solid week here. My favorite snow is when it just flutters down. I like big snowflakes. It's made for a quiet week at home. Not much going on, kids are getting along fairly well, and school work is getting done. I'm really looking forward to my birthday this weekend. My hubby is taking me out to a fancy resturant! A wonderful couple in our church called and offered to take our boys to see the Monster Trucks, and his wife will watch Liberty! That is such a blessing! I hope you have a wonderful day! "Seek ye first, the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."

New Year, New Things......

It's a brand new year! 2010! Wow! Who would have ever guess we would get to 2010? Well, we are here! 2009 was a great year! Nothing really terrible happened (other than the presidential election, but we won't go there....:( )We were all healthy throughout 2009. God blessed us throughout the year with numerous blessings. I turned 30 in 2009 and loved it! I accomplised some of my goals I set and I finally learned that homeschooling my kids is ok and that I can do it. That was a hard thing to get through my head. You know the whole "I'm really screwing them up, thing..."

I'm excited about 2010. I love a new year! It's a blank slate to write on. I know how to do the things I need to do. I know how to lose some weight, I know what I need to do for the kids in school, I know how to have a schedule for our household, I know how to save us some money in groceries, and I know how to make our marriage glorious. But all that is nothing if I don't let God lead and guide me in everything I do. All this is nothing without HIM. I'm praying that I will not spend this year worrying about things and relaxing and enjoy the moments given to me by Jesus. For example, the last two weeks our family has been sick. I didn't feel like doing housework and frankly I didn't want to do housework. Even when we weren't sick we were having fun being a family (watching movies, and playing wii). School starts back today. I didn't get anything I wanted to do finished. I wanted to organize and clean, blah,blah,blah. I started to get upset about it last night. I was thinking about how I didn't get it done, and how it will make my job harder trying to do it while homeschooling. My husband made me stop......he said. "We had fun! Don't ruin it by being like this." He was right. 99% of the time I miss the moments because I'm worried about the house. I had to ask the Lord to forgive for missing ALOt of blessings because I was upset about the house. I hope I learned my lesson, but I'm sure I'll have to learn it over and over. The last two weeks were amazing! One reason was I wasn't harping at everyone to clean up and I wasnt working myself up to a tizzy worrying about things. I know I still need to maintain order, and the children still need to learn how to do things, but there has to be a fine balance in orderliness and family harmony.

I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Can't wait to see what it will bring for each family. The Lord certainly has blessed us beyond measure!

Simple Woman's Daybook - November 16th, 2009

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window My neighbors are leaving for work

I am thinking I should be getting off the computer to go ready my Bible!

I am thankful for The spirit of Thanksgiving

I am wearing Still in my pjs

I am remembering Thanksgivings when I was little and my Grandparents would come and celebrate with us. Dad always got a deer and my Grandparents always brought presents because we wouldn't see them at Christmas.

I am going Maybe to Charleston today. Tonight is Cub Scouts

I am hoping for a wonderful week!

On my mind Alot of things.....mostly good this morning....a rarity!

From the learing Rooms Working on memorizing the boys speech for their Davy Crockett projects, Reading, Math, Spelling, and English

Noticing that the sound of my children sleeping is so precious!

Pondering these words Deuteronomy 32:7 "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; they elders, and they will tell thee."

From the Kitchen breakfast, lunch, and Wild Rice and Chicken for dinner

Around the House Things are scattered from the weekend. Memories of our dinner guest still hang in the air

One of my favorite things is my warm coffee in the morning!

From my picture journal



Summer lunch with the kids from church!
