BFS~ Sharing in Miracles
I am going to share this as a list, some entries longer than others:
These are in no particular order. I'm just writing good things as they come to me.
~When my 8 year old niece was only about 9 months old, our family nearly lost her...or so we thought. But God knew all along that He was going to keep her here with us! Her mother (my dsil) noticed that her breathing was labored and other things that she knew in her heart were not right. Every time she took her to the doctor she was told that the baby was fine...just a cold...etc... one day she started coughing blood. Dsil rushed her to the doctor again and they immediately put her in the hospital for tests. By that afternoon we were all told the news that something was wrong with her heart and she very likely wouldn't live. Our entire family came together and practically took over the hospital! We bathed the place in prayer and held up the exhausted arms of my brother and his wife. Emergency heart surgery was performed on the baby and the doctor discovered that there was a membrane where it shouldn't be. He couldn't figure out how she had lived this long! We knew God had been sustaining her! She has a scar on her chest from the surgery and she calls it her zipper. :-) Her parents have reminded her again and again that God has His hand on her life!
~I have experienced 3 miscarriages. I won't describe all of the details here, (This list is about the good stuff!) except to say that I really learned some things (I think!) and came to a point where Trusting God became more than lip service. I was angry and sad and experienced the full range of emotions that go with loss, disappointment and grief BUT then... I told God I was His servant. When my heart surrendered fully to Him for WHATEVER came, I felt a sense of peace that passed understanding! Very powerful. For my last pregnancy I had twin girls! seems like we made up for a little lost time!
~When my twin girls were 10 days old I took them to the doctor because they had developed a yucky sounding cough. They were diagnosed with RSV. We went straight next door to the hospital and my heart was quaking. You can imagine the rest of our day. Anyway, long story short. We were released from the hospital the next day! Hurray! Doc said their lungs sounded good and gave us a prescription. They recovered quickly. I still thank the Lord for His hand on them during those early days when they were so small.
~Dh and I (8 months pregnant with my first) were driving in the mountains of Colorado (moving from there to California) when the car my 16 year old brother was driving blew a tire. He could have gone over the cliff into the lake but didn't....we could have been anywhere and it could have been any day but we' JUST HAPPENED' to stop right near a little old shop that is always closed off season because the owner wintered in another state. This was the guy's opening day...and he had arrived only minutes before. He helped us get back on the road!
~On that same trip we were caught in a snow storm/blizzard on a mountain pass. There were cars turned every which way for miles and people couldn't even walk from one car to another without slipping and falling. NO ONE was getting out of there! Not even the heavy vehicles. It looked as though it would be days before the situation could be fully remedied. I was driving our large Dodge van. It was sitting still and just slipped off of the road (there was a slight grade). There we were in heavy snow drifts and sitting on ice. Hubby was driving the other car. I turned to my brother and said "Now what?!" He and I both knew we were done for. Dh stopped his car and got out and slipped and slid his way back to us. He climbed in and we all prayed. He put the van in drive and we pulled out like there was no ice or snow! We all still talk about that one! Amazing. We were able to continue the trip and make it home safely.
I have many, many stories to tell of God's faithfulness and protection...of miracles and blessings.
Even when it looks black and despair washes over like a tidal wave, God is still faithful.
Even when I experience terrible hurt and loss and pain, even when I get angry at God for 'being unfair'. He is still faithful.
His ways are higher than mine and His mercies are everlasting.
Praise be to God our heavenly father...in all things.

"post a few of your favorite snacks..."
Ok: Here they are in no particular order:
1. Cottage cheese plain or with pineapple or unsweet applesauce
2. Yogurt with honey and/or granola
3. String cheese
4. A spoon of natural peanut butter
5. Fruit
6. Whole wheat toast slathered in butter (yes it is healthy :-))
7. And for me...a few peanut m&m's can't be beat ;-)

Blogger Friend Assignment #16
Show and Tell Time!!!
Post a picture of 'something' or 'someone' and tell us all about it.
I wanted one for years. Just a fanciful dream of mine. We owned shetland sheep and a llama and had plenty of wool to spare. I never expected to get one...at least not when I did. But one Christmas morning a few years ago there was a very big box for me from my beloved...
It is still one of my most treasured possessions. When I think of all the love, sacrifice, time, research and effort that went into the purchase...not to mention the great amount of trouble to keep the big secret... I am overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness and love for me...
The gentle whir and rhythmic sound as it spins round and round, the feeling of the wool as it slips through my fingers...soothing sounds and motions to settle a busy mind. I love to sit and spin....

Blogger Friend School Assignment #6
Currently in our world today, there is still of lot of persecution. I believe that most of us, blogging here, are enjoying our freedoms, to not only believe what we choose to believe but more importanty we can do it openly and without fear that we will be made a public display and tortured. We can write our thoughts and feelings and even quote scriptures freely. We can go to a library and choose a book to read of our choice. I am very grateful to all those who have served or are currently serving in any military to protect these freedoms. This week's assignment is taking a deeper look into our spiritual lives and the warfare that we are individually facing. I'd like everyone to seriously think and then blog about a situation in your life where you know that the enemy is attacking you and challenging your spiritual growth. What area in your life are you feeling burdened or challenged? The purpose of the assignment is to use this as a tool to arm ourselves better for this battle not to make you uncomfortable. If this is too personal for you, share an area in your life that you have perservered in a spirtual battle or share your feelings on freedoms in general.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This one is hard for me to narrow down! I think my biggest challenge, of late, is the realization of how truly selfish I am. I thought that I was so mature, so well rounded spiritually and selfless! After all, I had successfully mothered and homeschooled 3 children, moved 19 times in less than13 years, been through 3 miscarriages and supported my husband in starting his own business--and kept my hope in the Lord and my spirits joyful, most of that time. I have learned a lot through the years about dying to my own selfish desires and about not putting the physical world on too high of a pedastal. However, the last 10 months of parenting these twin girls combined with some difficulties in other areas of our lives has made my ugly, sinful nature pop out all over the place...a sort of backsliding from the earlier victories I've achieved. I have been praying that God will actually help me grow in this area...because lately I've felt I was only failing the class, so to speak. I've come to realize that when we are battling in some area it is not necessarily to be eschewed. We need to embrace each battle with our full selves and realize that circumstance is not our enemy and neither are people. Our true enemies are only our own old nature and satan, who tries to use our sinful selves against us. I feel that I must win this battle if I am ever to savor more fully the sweetness of the cross...sweet surrender... freedom...
...but guess what! God knows that on my own I am incapable of victory! This was never meant to be a battle that would prove me a victor in the end. It was meant to be a battle that would prove God a victor in the end! He is always faithful. I will continue to strive toward that goal of dying to self but I will do so knowing that God has placed within my reach every tool/weapon that I need to succeed. Instead of wishing I could escape this part of my life I will embrace it with gusto, using the sword of the spirit. I will win and will someday recognize some beautiful new fruit in my life because of Him!

Blogger Friend #5
This is last weeks assignment for Blogger Friend. I'm running a bit behind. I put this one off because it seemd like it would take a lot of thought.
1. Share your family traditions for Christmas and/or Advent:
When my husband and I got married we had very little money and no Christmas decorations, so that first Christmas together we made a few homemade decorations. That was 18 years ago and the tradition stayed with us. Every year we make something , sometimes it's only something small but it's the time spent together as a family that counts.
A few years ago we added something new...making a gingerbread house. The children enjoy it so much that I think that it's a tradition that will stay with us.
We also have an annual Christmas decoration party. Each year I choose a date and mark it on the calendar to be set aside for the party. On that day the children and I pull out all the boxes of decorations and get the house prettied up, while snacking on things like popcorn, cheeseball and crackers, olives and more and drinking eggnog ,etc...but we don't do the tree until Daddy gets home. When he arrives the tree decorating can begin. From the time our oldest son (16yo) was tiny, it has been his job to help his daddy put the lights on the tree. They do that first and then we all add ornaments. I am always the one to add an angel to the top. After we finish decorating we all sit around in the dark with only the twinkle lights on and enjoy our finished work. We usually have a cup of hot chocolate to finish the day.
Another tradition is our advent calendar. It has a picture of Bethlehem and lots of little doors and windows to be opened, one each day. It has an accompanying story book. We read out of that each night before bed.
On Christmas morning we have a tradition of eating boxed cereal! This may sound strange to some people, but for most of the year we eat wholesome cooked cereal, pancakes, eggs etc for breakfast. We very rarely eat boxed cold cereals. On Christmas eve I get out a large basket and fill it full of small single serving boxes of cereal and nuts (like walnuts) and I set it on the table, ready for breakfast. This makes a quick and easy eat and cleanup the next morning.We have other traditions that I haven't listed here but for sake of time I'll stop here.
2. List 10 ways that you can prepare for the season
This one is a hard one for me...
1. More Prayer
2. More Bible reading
3. Make lists of gifts for kiddoes and relatives
4. Mark the calendar with all upcoming events and choose some family days
5. Begin purchasing extra food items now (this helps keep us from having too much of a budget strain all at once)
6. Begin purchasing gifts and checking them off the list
7. Schedule a day for Samaritan shoe box shopping (another fun tradition in our house...each child makes a box for a child with things that they would like)
8. Start addressing cards.
9. Get a picture of the children ready to go into the cards.(Yes, dear relatives, you will be getting a picture! Yea for me!)
10. Schedule a day to have another family over to enjoy a cozy winter meal with us (as I'm typing this it's 81 degrees outside :-/)
3. Post a Scripture that will help you "get into the spirit"
Luke 2: 10-14
Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And this will be a sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angela multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
Oh, I just love that scripture! Just think about the meaning of this...Joy to all people!
and just imagine hearing the multitude of heavenly host saying "glory to God and speaking peace and goodwill toward men! This really helps me get into the spirit of the season. I would like to add here how awesome I think it is to hear wonderful old hymns and songs procaliming Jesus birth and the joy He brings being played on radio stations all during December...gives me chill bumps and smiles :-).... God is great!

Blogger Friend #4
In honor of the season, I thought we all could do something fun this week! I'd like everyone to share something to do with a pumpkin or pumpkin related. This can be a recipe, decorating idea, or if you are really creative "show" us on your blog.
I must admit...this is not one of my specialties. The only thing I do with pumpkin is decorate the front porch with various sizes along with some fall leaves or a fall wreath, and I occasionally make pumpkin bread. At Thanksgiving I make pumpkin pie. After reading other Blogger Friend entries I'll have to try a few of those yummy sounding recipes!

Normally, we do the same. We don't celebrate Halloween in our family, but we do like to decorate a bit with fall leaves, pumpkins, gourds and such. Pumpkin recipes are yummy, though! I am having fun reading others' recipes. Thanks for visiting my blog. God bless!

We carved a pumpkin this weekend. We were looking for other fall things to do. We might make some pumpkin pie.

I read your comment about the Blogger Friend School graphic. I'm sorry that it doesn't work on a dark background. I'm not sure how to fix that since I just barely learned how to add text on the graphic. I will try to research it and see if I can figure it out....in the meantime, if you want to remove it, that's fine with me. :)

Blogger Friend School Assignment 1 / Intro & Dream House
Well, this is my introduction for a new 'class' I've joined called Blogger Friend School. I'm very excited to be a part of this group of ladies. We will receive assignments each week that will help us get to know each other better and also help to encourage each other in our calling to be homeschool moms.
Assignment 1: introduce myself and tell why I am blogging.
First, let me point you to my blog's description and the About Me on the right side of this page.
My blogger name is Sunydazy. This is a play on words representing who I want to be. A cheerful face like a daisy and a sunny disposition. I desire for all my days to be sunny days! I started my blog as a place for family and friends to keep up with our family happenings and also because I enjoy the creative outlet it gives me. I love to research and then share my findings with others (though you won't see much of it on my blog lately, due to my being busy with my twin baby girls). I also love to encourage others in their daily lives. I know how hard life gets for us all at times and I want to be one of those people that helps you feel like you can go on. I want to ease the burden just a bit and I want to remind you to smile and enjoy the simple pleasures God has provided.
Part 2 of assigment 1: Tell about my dream house.
OK. Here are a couple of pictures that show ideas of what I would like for a house...either style suits my dreams, as long as the house has lots of porches, a huge kitchen, a huge laundry/sewing area, a walk in pantry, a playroom, a study for dear hubby, a workshop for dear hubby, lots of closet space, a school/library room and large rooms with lots of empty floor space for all the children to play on. Sounds too grand for any mortal mama to wish for doesn't it? Well this is all about dreams...right? This dream house of mine will be set in the mountains with groupings of evergreens and aspen or birch trees. There will be a kitchen garden and a big veggie garden and a few fruit trees. There will also be a stream nearby and a nice chicken run. I guess I'd better stop now because since this only a dream house I could probably go on for days. But you get the idea!

Assignment 1: introduce myself and tell why I am blogging.
First, let me point you to my blog's description and the About Me on the right side of this page.
