When's Shabbat???

Well, today is Wednesday which means Shabbat is only 2 days away, and I can't wait. I truly love my weekly time with the Creator worshiping Him and learning more about Him. I am reading through the Bible on a yearly plan, and it is my first time reading through the whole Bible in my Complete Jewish Scriptures version. (I've read through the Bible before, just not this version.) And I have to say that the Scriptures are coming more and more alive for me. Just this week as I'm reading in Exodus as I was reading the account of the Red Sea Crossing, it truly dawned on me that Yahweh had told the children of Israel, I'm going to have you go camp at this location, the Pharaoh of Egypt is going to come and chase you, but I'm going to show myself even stronger than I did in Egypt. Then when the Pharaoh comes chasing them, they start complaining. I had always thought it was a fear reaction, but in reality it was a lack of faith! Yahweh had already told them what He was going to do and how He was going to show Himself even stronger than in Egypt! Wow did that really strike me!

I'm also really enjoying working on Commandment Keepers for Richard Rives. If you have not been there, please check it out. We've got a weekly Torah Commentary on there now too thanks to Mike Clayton! As well as videos, poems, and articles! Something for everyone. Watch it each day as we post 2 new articles every day.

I've also updated my family's webstore and expanded it. We've got a new series of workbooks done by my dad, Terry Boutet, on Discovering Your Freedom in Yeshua HaMosiach. Also, we've added 100% pure essential oils at a very reasonable price - Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, and 4 Thieves are just some of them!

And in the evenings, my family has been enjoying reading together or watching a teaching video near our warm wood stove. I've also been enjoying getting back to Scrapbooking. Right now, I'm finally doing my trip to Israel from November 2010! :)

Walking...

Well, I've been busy walking wherever Yahweh sends me which can be quite a varity! This past week, I've mailed packages for Paul Nison, worked on Eddie Chumney's website, published articles on Commandment Keepers (Richard Rives), and worked on a presentation on the head covering for my own ministry. It is amazing the doors the Lord keeps opening for me as long as I'm willing. I just have to trust and obey! Out of obedience comes blessing!

On Tuesday, I had my house cleaning job which I tease is getting paid to exercise versus paying to go to the gym! I enjoy this family - the mom is Jewish and the dad is an atheist...an interesting combination, but a very sweet family. They were having their large area rugs replaced, so I had a lot of wood floors to clean as this was a rare time to get to the actual floor versus rug!

Then on Friday, I was able to meet a friend for lunch. We enjoyed catching up on what had been going on in our lives as well as good food! I've also gotten a lot of website work done this week for my dad. I'm so happy with how his website is turning out. I updated his ministry website - www.restorahtionministries.org as well as some on his webstore - www.restorahtionfarm.com.

And I've enjoyed some great down time with my family. We watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and enjoyed some good laughs. We've read together. And so much more! Plus we made snow cream with the recent snowfall...our first decent one of the year.

Clean and Unclean

This is a superb video that Richard Rives did on Clean and Unclean which is posted on World Net Daily. Go to the video and join in the discussion as the "mainstream believers" are dominating the conversation and really attacking YHVH, His dietary laws, and Richard as well as WND for allowing this to be posted. Let's take a stand together for the God of the Bible!!! http://www.wnd.com/2012/01/does-god-still-care-what-believers-eat/

Clinging To YHVH

Wow! I haven't blogged in two weeks. That is so unlike me, but I know why... I have been struggling with making sure I'm purposeful in how and what I do. So I've been spending a lot of thinking and praying time. And I really feel like the Lord has confirmed the direction I'm going in and feel even firmer in that direction!!! That is such a freeing position to be. To realize that the Lord is directing you even in small things like finding a book when you are looking for it. It makes me realize that He's working on the big things too! So now I'm back at peace, walking in His will and timing. Even tonight, I was talking with a very good friend, and she confirmed that I was heading in the right direction. Ever since I left Crown, I've felt a loss; however, I have realized that it has been good for me. I'm back fully in the home other than going out to clean for three clients which means 3-4 half days a month are all I'm gone on a regular basis. The rest of the time, I'm doing some part time work from home as well as my ministry which I believe has kept me much more focused on the Lord first, then my family, my close friends who I have made a friendship commitment to, our congregation, and finally other people in my life. I feel that I'm becoming so much more balanced and this is something the Lord needed to do in my life before bringing the right young man into my life. YHVH had to bring my heart fully home and be content there. So I'm clinging to YHVH and trusting His will and way for my life!

Snow!

Well, we got our first snow today which was beautiful. It's very cold - 23 degrees currently. It will get back into the 40s next week which will be Linknice! I wasn't able to go to my cleaning job this morning due to the roads, but by late afternoon, it has cleared out meaning that I will be able to go to our local township meeting tonight.

Today ended up working out nicely as I was able to complete a presentation I had been working on for the Hebrew Roots Women's Retreat - Set Apart Gems. I was also able to get all the plug-ins added for social media and working properly for Commandment Keepers, add some new articles, and get more lined up for later in the week. Then this afternoon, I worked on orders, checked e-mail, and helped in the kitchen. A busy productive day!

Shabbat was so relaxing - we listened to various teachings then enjoyed a movie that night as a family. Come What May was what we watched, and it was so encouraging. A great clean Christian movie with a very good story! A must watch for everyone. :)

Then Sunday, we got caught up on things around the house as well as went up to see Gaga which was nice. Well, off to my meeting I go...
