New blog

  I have just started a blog over on my web-site, so for any future posts you will have to hop on over there and check it out. I like some advantages that blogging there will offer me, like easier posting pictures, and will be in all one place for me. I will copy and past a few of my recent posts from here over there, other wise that blog will be all new posts.
 So from now on all blog posts will be written on my web-site blog, and for any older posts they will be here. This blog will always be here for you to visit anytime.

Encouragement on Writing

   I would love to encourage others in writing. If you enjoy writing, or are at least feel a desire to write, and have things on your mind to share. I say do it! Whether is a writing on your blog or web-site , a book, or even just your thoughts on your computer's writing program for now till you get inspiration to do something else with it. Go for it!

  You never know what plans God may have for you in your writing, and who is just waiting to be blessed by your thoughts, inspiration, your faith, and your life experiences.

  I don't forget about those little messages and notes done either by cards ,letters, or e-mails that could make some one's day. Maybe give a hurting sole hope and encouragement, or that someone you have neglected to write in ages!

  Thanks to this blog I have kept up for nearly 8 years now, I have been able to turn my blog posts into a book, with one more on the go! And I have written a book on the beautiful verses in Psalms. Now I am very happy to announce that I have just started working on my fiction book!! Which I am very excited about. I imagine this one will take me a good while though. But I will work on it every chance I get!!!

  Sure you are probably a super busy mom like me, with several children and home-schooling to boot! But you still can write. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes a day to write. And you would be surprised how much you can accomplish in that short of time if you commit to that daily or even a few days a week. Just keep at it! Don't let that dream of yours go! And what ever you do don't wait till the house is all clean, and the kids are completely quite cause it will never happen!! Or not till they are grown and gown either!

If your writing is led by God, inspired God, for God, and honoring God, then don't worry it will be blessed by God! He will give you both the inspiration and time to write!! That has defiantly been true in case over the years.

Maybe your like me and always thought you had to be this professional author, and get this big book deal, or pay thousands to get a editor and publisher in order to write books. But then I found the wonderful thing called self publishing. And that has been an answer to prayer I tell you. So if that is holding you back, don't let it any longer!! There's many, many options out there for self publishing just waiting for someone like you who has a desire and passion to write. And if I can, you can too!!

So come on, what are you waiting for? Let's get writing! And inspire and encourage someone today!

In Him, Mae

From Blog to Book!

   About a year ago I had written a post about using our time and talents for God, and of my desire to write a couple of books. Well I have those mentioned books finished and successfully self published, and all ready for purchase. My book on Psalms called Beautiful Psalms I have already talked about it here earlier this summer.

    But now I am very happy to announce my second book here!! The title is, As For Me and My House. It is written from all my years of posts here on my blog, well about half of the years anyway, the other half will come out in Volume Two which I am in the process of working on now. Yes, I am supper excited about this book written form my blog. If you have been enjoying and following my blog over the years, or even just recently came across it, I am sure will enjoy the book form of the blog. All the posts are right there conveniently in a book to read when ever and how ever you want, as often as you want! You can read one post a day more like a devotional, or several a day!! It is up to you.

   Note though that I did not include every post. Like for instance the ones that were just about family news and happenings, or gardening and such. And I didn't include any of the pictures from the blog either. But I do have an up to date family photo of us in the back of the book on the page about the Author. So you will be able to enjoy that. Also in the back I included my favorite resources that have been a help and blessing to me as a wife and mother over the years.

   Also I did some revising and editing of certain posts as needed to work better and sound better in the book. So if you read a post in the book, and then look for it here on the blog it may be worded some different. Also I have omitted certain posts that didn't seem as edifying as I thought they were when I first wrote them.

I chose the title for the book, As For Me and MY House, to better represent the book for what it is, because that is really what all these blog posts are about. It is about my journey as a wife and mother, and how we serve the Lord in our home. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord, and we will share that great news, our believes, and our faith and joy we have from that walk with the Lord with others!! But the title didn't really come from me, there is no way I could not have thought of that on my own. I had been praying about the title, and that is when that verse came to mind. And I was like, "Wow, what a wonderful title that will make!" God gets the glory for that!

  As For Me and MY House, covers many topics such as: mothering and homeschooling issues, my thoughts and believes on many different things, verses that I love on different topics, things we have been dealing with as a family, praise poems I have written to God, and much more. Fellow wives and mothers should find it encouraging, inspiring, and challenging as you too walk with God!! And if you like this book, then be and sure to keep an out look for the up-coming volume two! Volume two will contain some of the very latest blog posts with new ones coming, as well as the older ones from this blog as well. It will contain a new and up-dated list of my favorite and helpful resources, as well as an up-dated family picture of us which should contain our newest baby. I hope to have this book completed and ready to release shortly after the new year, Lord Willing.

  Well I hope you check out these books, purchase, and enjoy them! And please tell all your friends all about them as well!

Blessings, In Him Mae

  P.S. Also in my near future writing projects I have a strong desire to write a Christian fiction. It will be a few short stories in one book. And the sole purpose of those stories will be to encourage, inspire, and challenge one in their walk with God. It will be geared to youth and young adult. I want it to be entertaining to read as well of course, or how else is one to be keep reading at the book and not tossing it out!! Anyway, Lord Willing I plan to get writing on this soon.

dissapearing posts

Just a quick post to explain why at one occasion you may visit my blog and read my posts, and then visit back at another time, and see a certain post has disappeared.
  Well if you have ever noticed that and wondered why. Well here is the explanation for that.
   Sometimes I have written something  in haste, and later when I have had more time to think, I realize maybe I should not have wrote that. Maybe it was not very edifying or encouraging, or something. So then I take that post off.
 If I would spend more time in prayer and thought before posting, the chance of that happening would be less I know. Think and pray!


Well there you have it. You now know the mystery for disappearing posts.




In Him,
Mae

another awesome blog

I just love it when I come across another awesome blog by an awesome mom!
 Here is the latest one I have found.  Grace Full Mama
So check out her blog if you have time. I am sure you will enjoy it as I have.

I just love it when moms take time out of their very busy lives create a blog and post on it regularly to encourage and inspire fellow moms. I love it when they share their wisdom and knowledge, their love for God and their families, things they have learned and experienced,  their weakness, their strengths, their joys, and what ever else God puts on their hearts to share.

I encourage you moms that do have blogs to keep up the awesome work!!  We read your blogs and we are blessed by you!!
And to those of you that don't have one, I encourage you to start one. I am positive you have lots of wisdom and great things to share with others. And with God's leading he will put more and more on your heart to share.It is a great way to reach out and share with others. A great way to minister out-side the home ; yet not leaving the house to do so!

I  plan to try very hard to post more often here on my blog. I would love to post something encouraging at least 2 to 4 times a week. Some mom's post daily on their blogs, and though I think that is so special I just know I could not keep up with that. So I will be realistic and keep it less frequent yet often enough to keep y'all coming back for more!!

Don't forget I love hearing your comments! And remember to pray for one another!

Until next time,
In Him,
Mae

Ugh!

I have just noticed that my last 2 posts have not turned out good. I put a lot of good spacing between my sentences, and had it really easy to read. Now i see that it is all jammed together. I do not know why that happened. I have try editing those post, and spacing every thing out again, but seen they are still just the same. So i give up. I am so sorry. I do hope even though it is hard to read, that you will take the time to read it anyway. It is a good read! Mae

new look

I just had to mess around and change the look on my blog yet again!!
This time i chose the design with 2 side bars. This way i can display all that i have on there easier. Though i do notice that it has made my post area more narrow.
I think the coloring makes it easy to read everything better.
For me the last color i had, i noticed not everything stood out that well.
I think i will like this new look and color, and keep it awhile.
But you never know, i may get bored of it soon as well!
I have lots of fun sharing on my blog. ( and messing around on it)
I am ever so thankful and grateful for this connection with others.

Well i got to get a little one in bed here!
So good night all!
In Him,
Mae

If you were about to fall off a cilff....

...and you didn't know it.
But i was there and I seen.
I know you would want me to warn you.
And prevent it from happening if I was able.
Say you were at the top of a cliff and you were taking pictures of scenery or somebody.
Your back was turned to the cliff.
You knew it was there some where, but you did not now how close.
You kept backing up to get in the right position for the perfect shot.
You had no clue of the danger you were in.
So i warned you, by letting you know that your actions were about to be the destruction of your life. I tried to be as gentle as I could.
Your first thought was, " posh, i know what I am doing". "I fine".
So i kept giving words of warning.
But i tried very hard not to offend.
Then you took that last fatal step, and I really hollered then! ( i knew you would not care if I lost my gentleness at this point)
And just in the nick of time, you turned from your actions that would have took you over the edge.
You were very happy and grateful then, that I said what I did, though at first you were upset at me for bothering you and preaching at you.


And that is where this blog comes in at. I don't want no one falling off no cliff!!!

that's what i love

Sometimes when i sit to post i don't just have a set subject or topic to post on.
There will be thoughts swirling around in my head and i want to share. Knowing God put them there. But I will be unsure of how to to best write it it all down.
So i get on my posting site anyway and i begin to type.
And the words the will just flow. And it seems as if it was already previously written and that i am simply copying it.
That happened to me with yesterday's post. I could not believe how it all came to gather so easily.
And i know where it comes from. So i give God all the credit!!
That's what i like about blogging, and that's what I love about my Heavenly Farther!!!

He gives you the words to speak when you don't know what to say, and just when you need them. And he gives you the exact words that some one is needing to hear at that exact moment!

If you have ever read something on here that seemed to speak directly to you, like it was written with you in mind. Well it was! But know it didn't come from me. There's no way i could have known what you needed to hear at which moment.
Our Heavenly Father is the one that orchestrated that!!
I just wrtie what He sets on my heart.
That's what I love about my Heavenly Farther!!
