Your humble teen writer,

Eunice, a Godly mother.

She is not the most spoken about woman in the Bible and you probable don't remember hearing about her in Sunday school. None the less Eunice was used by God to help Timothy in his younger days.
The apostle Paul talks about her in his last letter to Timothy that he wrote in a dungeon in Rome, shortly before being executed for his faith.
He says "Recalling you tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also." 2 Timothy 4:6
The Bible says that sincere faith lived in Eunice (And her Mother, Lois). Eunice was married to a Greek man who most likely didn't share her love for God. Though she taught Timothy about Jesus Christ. Though it is not clear about how Timothy got saved, I would say that learning about the LORD as a child helped him.
I end with this, Eunice was a strong godly woman who loved God and helped her son!

The Bible and women!

I was talking to a young girl around the age of thirteen, I asked her, "Do you read your Bible everyday?" She looked at me then glanced to the ground. "I believe that the Bible is sexiest!"

I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it. She explained that the Bible talks about Jesus' brother (James) and not any of his sisters. And that the Bible never talks about strong queens! Nor much about women at all.
Well Sandra...This ones for you!

The Bible is not sexiest, to be honest most people don't even know what "sexiest" means. The Bible talks about women, like oh let me see...Abigail, Anna, Bathsheba, Deborah, Dorcas, Elizabeth, Ester, Eve, Eunice, Hannah, Joanna, Lydia, Martha, Mary of Bethany, Miriam, Naaman's Wife's Slave Girl, Naomi, Phoebe, Priscella, Rachel, Ruth, Sarah, and Zipporah. And that is just some of them. She said the Bible never talks about women, hm.

I truly wish that people would study the Bible before talking about it. Now lets talk about some of them. Ester was a strong queen. She saved all of her people from death and risked her own life. Can you get any stronger then that? Ester herself said "I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish." Ester 4:16

If the Bible never talks about women then why is there a book of Ruth and the book of Ester?

And what is sexism? Is it not a proven fact that men are physically stronger then women? So by stating a FACT you are sexist? So what people are saying is the truth itself it sexist and wrong! I believe that women are made not to be big strong warriors, but to be mothers and wives. (Please note that just because I believe that women should not be warriors that doesn't mean they should not know how to defend themselves).

The Bible talks about strong women like Eunice! Most people do not now about her but she was Timothy's mother. She was a Jewish woman who was married to a Greek man. Though her husband most likely didn't share her faith she still taught Timothy about God's love and what a difference it made! (See 2 Timothy 3:15)

We as women should serve our husbands and teach our children using the Bible as a textbook!

As they say "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world!"

(I will follow up on this by posting stories from the Bible about strong women in the Bible)

Welcome to the Farm! episode 1

A picture of what burning looks like. We did ours without the snow!
One of our spring chores was burning brush on our land. We had nearly 20 to burn! It took my whole family helping to get it done. It was a good example of teamwork. We had two "teams". On one was my Mom, 12 year old sister, and older brother. And on the other was me, my 63 year old grandma (believe it or not) and my autistic brother.
It took three hours to burn two small piles and one big pile! I was putting some more pines on the fire, then a wind shift hit me. (Wind shift is when the wind blows a different way.)My eye burned a little and it was unpleasant. My Grandma told me that smoke was attracted to beautiful things, and that's why it was hitting me. It was a good relationship builder. Work is always good at building relationships.
We even got Mark, my autistic brother to help. I would tell him "Go get those sticks, please." And he would walk over and get them and then hand them to me. Truly it was a bad help, his my little helper! <3
How burning works is: You light a cardboard box and then add some pines. Then slowly add more and more! Till everything is burned. Some people do it a different way too, but that's how we did ours.

Stock or not?

I was on WorldNetDaily- www.wnd.com and I found an article that I thought was trustful and had very wise ideas. It's on the coming food shortage. Many people (such as myself) think that soon, maybe even the end of this year, that America will go through a depression. Only the LORD really knows, but I think it's best to stock up on food. Facts show that city stores such as Costco, Walmart, and Fred Meyer can only feed the whole city/area for three days! So if America "hits the fan", most people will go hungry and die.
With this in mind I think that people should stock up on food. Even if you can only stock up one 50lb bag of beans/rice/grain a week, it will be 50lb more than anyone else. I hope and pray that you will read this and think about it.
This may or may not happen, but most of the proof (not the lies that news groups that are funded and controlled by the government) points to it. If it isn't, then having food will not kill you. But if it is, you will have what you need to survive. And it's not worth seeing your kids, husband, wife, or close family members going hungry if it is true! Please, please, please go and research it! Think about what I said. I care so much about the wellness of America and the people that live here. And I only want to make sure you're prepared! I pray you will think hard and long about it. There may not be too much more time.
I know that the LORD will guide and inform you. Pray about it! If you would like to research it go to: www.wnd.com and go to search box and type in "Why almost everyone's wrong on the coming food shortage." Read it, watch the video and most importantly pray about it.
It is your job as a American to be prepared for the worst. I will be posting more tips on preparing and making home-made foods such as breads, pastas, etc.
Thank you for reading,
Beth K!
