Every now and then, I get a hankering to write what I'm feeling and being guided in. So, here it is. My life as of late. My real, not perfect family vlog material, struggles in life. <br />

<br />
We all want everyone to see our best and can usually get by with that happening. It's easier to fake happiness and success than truly let others see what's going on. Some people have no problem showing others all their drama, but not me. I like to look like I have it all together. I have the perfect big family, who are home schooled, always get along, my husband is always perfect, we never bicker, and there isn't a day that goes by that I feel down. REAL LIFE isn't like that. <br />
<br />
I'm finally feeling like I have a grasp of my life right now, this week. You see, a couple weeks back, I had a break down, full on anxiety attack, couldn't control my thoughts kinda situation. My husband held me while I cried, sang worship music at my request before bed to help calm me, and I'm sure spent time in prayer while driving around for work. Does this look perfect? No. But it was real life for me. There were several things that set me off- finances, sickness in family, marriages falling apart, children struggling, and not feeling secure in where life is at for our family right now. What??? How could I feel that way when my little family seems so perfect? <br />

<br />
Real life. It took me a good couple weeks to finally break out of the horrible pit in my stomach and tightness in my chest at any random thought of uncertainty. If my strength comes from God then why am I so unstable feeling? I blamed spiritual warfare, fear, and worry. I'd say all three played a part. If I were to say that all of life is perfect for me, I'd be fake. If I were to say that I hold myself together always, I'd be fake. If I were to say that I don't struggle with my husband and children, well, more fakeness. <br />
<br />
We all have struggles and real life happenings. Don't be so ashamed or proud that you can't let those struggles show some, to allow others to help you. Don't feel like you'll never have things right. Well, you might be right on that one, but how do we choose to handle not having things right all the time is the key. Do we remember that God truly does care for us and takes care of our every need? Do we know that He provides what we need not what we want or even think we need? In the moments of darkness He will show Himself. He will remind you that He is near. He will remind you that He wants you to just trust Him if you'll let Him be in control. Control. Boy isn't that a tough one. When I can't keep things under control or some situations are completely out of my control, but they still affect me and my heart, that's really hard for me. Am I remembering that He holds the world in His hands and has all things in place just where He wants them? <br />

<br />
Oh, the lessons. Oh, the hardships. Oh, how He loves you and me. Real life. Don't feel ashamed of your struggles. Pick yourself up and take one step forward, then another, until you're out of that pit. It's not a fun place to be in. Sometimes the enemy uses it to really mess some BIG plans up. Take charge of letting God win the victory in your life. It takes some effort sometimes to let Him have His way. It's totally worth it though. <br />
<br />
Real life. It can stink. It can be hard. It can cause lots of questioning of why. It can make us proud. It can make us fake. It can break us. In the brokenness, let it cause us to get up and press forward til we reach the next step. Even if that next step is saying "yes" to something that seemed so difficult to do. We all have struggles. Don't be fake to hide them. Be real and reach out for encouragement. Share your real life experiences with someone else who just might need to know that it's ok and that nobody has a perfect life.Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-80262861467984028822018-03-13T11:32:00.000-04:002018-03-13T11:32:18.434-04:00Passport to Purity Weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems that the subject of purity and waiting for sex til marriage is one that is a hard topic for parents to discuss and often times isn't even first heard from the parents but through the school, whether it be a special class on it or by peers. That is something that we wanted different in our family. Obviously since we home school, our children wouldn't be hearing about it through a public school, but we still wanted it to be a time of special reflection and learning just between us. I found this pack that looked like it would fit what we had in mind perfectly. Passport to purity starts out with basic concepts for youth such as peer pressure and following the herd and works its way to talking about relationships, both in friendships and in dating. It ends with the parents and child discussing what boundaries they want set for dating/courting and what goals the child would like to commit to in staying pure. </div>

Here's just a few pages from the journal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We actually buy a special journal for our children to write in as they go through the weekend that they can keep and continue to write in as they grow and develop their own ideas and thoughts in Scripture concerning it. This way we can use the book over and over again for each child.</div>

Something special we do with the journal we give is Jonathon and I take a page each and write a letter to our child in it. I think it's special to give our love in writing that the child can always look on as they continue to journal and look through what they've written over the years. </div>

Some things we do during our weekend? We make our weekend during a time when my parents are gone on vacation. We can stay in their house for the weekend and it just be the two of us without other distractions. It works out perfectly and saves money! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Generally we stay on Thursday, all day Friday, then leave after lunch on Saturday to join back up with the family for Sabbath fellowship. I have 2 movies, one for each night to watch. I can't remember what Alegra and I watched (I should have written it down), and this time my movie pick wasn't very good, so we turned it off after the first 5 minutes. We ended up watching Diella's pick of Esther, which is definitely a suitable movie for the topic. We also found one that we didn't know what it was about but it ended up being perfect as well, Princess Cut. about a girl who wanted so badly to be married and found herself in wrong relationships until she decided to completely give herself to God and wait for Him. Then a wonderful young man came along and was a blessing to her and her family. So, movie nights consist of snacks and pjs, which is always fun. We always make sure there's plenty of chocolate and ice cream. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do make some food ahead to take along to eat, but we also plan a couple meals out for fun. She wanted to go to East of Chicago in Shipshewana and Olive Garden, so we scheduled our meal plans according to when we would be around those restaurants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We desire our children to choose to have a party like a Bat Mitzvah to give them blessing and as a way for them to make a statement of their faith in walking forward according to Yahweh's Word. Diella hadn't been interested in having her party from fear of having to speak and be in front of others. We've been praying for her in this and during the weekend she decided that this summer would be her party. We give a ring of purity and devotion in hearing God's voice and their parent's voice of counsel until they are married, where we have hopes to hand that off to her husband. So, we take time to go to a jeweler and get her finger sized for a ring. We also have a blast finding a dress for the party. We took some great footage of our day doing that, which you can see over at our family vlog spot on youtube, The Grateful Chronicles (it's posted below). That day is always filled with fun, food and great memories of time spent together. We were tired after all the shopping (we're not shoppers at all!), so we were glad to get back to rest, do another session and watch a movie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gYe2pej6sAk/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gYe2pej6sAk?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Along with the journal in Passport to Purity, there are also CD's that we listen to for each session. The speakers have great stories and relate so well to the youth and their daily situations with friends and relationships. I love how they make the Bible, God, and the parents the guides to life. They make the parents look like we are the helper, assister, and overall encourager in the dating to marry journey. I realize that we haven't faced those days yet as neither of our girls have expressed interest in it, but hopefully, we've well established our ideas and what the Bible would encourage, so they can make the path easy and not have rough spots along the way. We want them to keep their hearts and bodies for the one person God has for them. Time will tell if our teaching and directing will pay off in helping them through those days ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kit also comes with great activity ideas that go along with each session. It's a hands on activity that shows them the concept in a real way. Both of the girls loved this part of each session. It takes a little prep work on my part to gather the supplies and do ahead what needs done, but it's totally worth the extra time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The kit encourages planning one fun activity for you to take your child to, such as play or music concert. Take them somewhere that they have an interest in or would enjoy seeing. We didn't do anything special except spend the day shopping. That's usually what our fun activity is. Diella hates shopping for clothes, so I was so worried our day wouldn't be fun. By the end she was grabbing dresses to try on that she just thought would be fun to try on, not that she was interested in the style. That was fun for her to get out of her comfort zone and just have fun. I also enjoyed helping another lady with a dress she was trying on for her daughter's wedding. That was interesting to throw that in there as we were spending the weekend preparing Diella's heart for those days ahead and here is a mom who is planning for her daughter's wedding. It was fun to help her and talk with her as she tried on dresses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, that's what we do. By the end of the weekend I ask if they have heard about any of the stuff we'd discussed from friends or others. Both of my girls hadn't heard anything and was evident by the questions they asked and the way they handled the information. I know our culture is changing in this world and children get exposed to more and more worldly things, but we talk all the time about why that has to happen. Why do we have to conform to the ways of the world because we are surrounded by it? Why do we have to do things the way the world does things to keep our children up to speed with what's going on around them? Why do we have to let them hear and see what's going on in the world to prepare them for the bad? WE DON'T!!!! We limit our children's internet time, though as they get older they get more, but it's still monitored. We don't talk with them about every detail of life when they are super young. They can't handle the information and then don't know how to properly process it to fully understand what it's about. We choose the families we are around so that our children are being influenced by other families who think the same way we do. I applaud all the families we are around on a regular basis that my children didn't hear anything from their children. That's one thing I appreciate about home schooling is that we can direct that area a little and as they get older and start to choose their own friends and are around others in the work field, they have a good foundation of what type of people are truly good people to choose as friends. </div>

Will all my children walk this part of life out perfectly? I doubt it, but I sure hope so. We have a part to play in actively teaching and training them in the way they should go. It takes time. It takes effort. It takes some purposeful decisions to lead them in a certain direction and not let the world influence otherwise. If you have wondered how to handle these subjects with your youth, I highly recommend this kit. It's so well put together and makes it easy for discussion with parents and child. I hope this has encouraged you to direct your family how you want, not how others around you walk out this part of life. Make the choice for you and your children!!! </div>

I am always intrigued though by what people pick. Lately I've had a couple words come to my mind and keep being brought forth to my thinking. The words are WRESTLE and SEAL. I've been studying these a bit the last couple days and here are my quick thoughts on it. I do want to keep the word SEAL as a word that I continue to reflect on this year. I know it's not a typical word that I hear mentioned, but there is something in it for me, and I want to find out what the Father is trying to show me.<br />
<br />
Most of us know the story of Jacob in Genesis 32:22 where he wrestled with someone until he received the blessing he was hoping for. There are many different ideas on who he wrestled but the Scriptures mention God. One interpretation is that he literally wrestled with God, hence getting the name Israel, which means "one who struggles with God". "Struggles with God" doesn't seem like a positive thing to do. As I studied and as I look at my life and how I walk out my faith, I'm seeing that it is a healthy thing to struggle or wrestle with God. <br />
<br />
At one point in the story, Jacob was not going to let go of the person until he received the blessing. When two people wrestle there is always contact of some kind, whether it's their whole body or even just parts like legs, arms, shoulders, etc. Jacob did not allow separation of their bodies until the blessing was received. His wrestling was essentially the SEAL. His wrestling was the seal before the blessing. Future blessing, the promised land, could not be separated from the struggle that they went through to get there. There was struggle before the blessing.<br />
<br />
In Job 41:15&16 it says, "Its back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can pass between." No air can pass through because of the seal. They are tightly together. When two people wrestle they are tightly together. When we wrestle with God, we should be tightly together with Him seeking to know Him more and seeking to understand His Word more. We are so tight with Him that no air can even pass between us. That's the seal. As we wrestle with God a seal forms, never to be broken. It draws us closer to Him. It blocks out germs, evil, and untruths. <br />
<br />
Why do we think that we must be confident in the Scriptures and have answers to everything? Wrestling with God in the Word seals us for blessing ahead. Seeking the truth of His Word, wrestling with what it says, with what He's speaking to us that our flesh wants to ignore, is showing our love to Him. Isaiah 8:16 says, "Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples." I can picture wrestlers getting bound up together as they wrestle. Bind up the testimony. Wrestle with it. Study it. Prove it over and over from one portion to another, and as that happens, the seal that takes place will be the law among His disciples written on their hearts in love.<br />
<br />
He wants us to give all of ourselves to Him. If that means wrestling what He's trying to teach us or with what His Word really says, than that's what He wants. He will not stop putting things in front of us until He has all of us. He will not stop pursuing us until He has all of us. He will not stop.<br />
<br />
This song has touched me and spoken to me and caused me to pursue my search on what Yahweh wants me to see in this word SEAL. I hope it blesses you and encourages you to give it all to Him. Let Him seal you, so nothing comes between you and the Father. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEJnePjJZaM" target="_blank">You Won't Relent</a> by Jesus CultureBovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-57138930004803063952017-11-24T15:50:00.001-05:002017-11-24T15:50:19.125-05:00Time on Earth<div style="text-align: center;">

That's the biggest word that stuck out to me when we attended the Your Life Speaks event in Topeka, IN, where Nathan Harmon shared with many youth groups his struggles when he was younger and where his hope came from to be freed from drugs, alcohol, self harm, and suicidal thoughts. What a powerful testimony to youth of focusing on God, and when doing that, their life will fall in line as they seek HIM and HIS plan for them. So much that night spoke to me as a part of my journey that I've been going through over the last year.<br />

We are given so much time, here on earth, to live out our purpose. Are we actively pursuing God's plan for us or our own? What if His plan looks different than ours? I've been pondering thoughts for a couple months, trying to sort them all out and piece them back together. Focus on God, and He will make the negative and bad flee and will rise up the good and blessings as we draw closer to Him. If you're struggling with alcohol, don't strive to not drink. Strive daily to become closer to God and serve Him, and He will take the urge away as you are drawing closer to Him. You become filled with His goodness instead of the desires within your flesh. It can apply to many areas of life. HE can fill voids, bring healing, and strengthen areas that have room for improvement all by focusing on Him. That takes life out of our hands and puts it into His, which is where He desires each of us to be. <br />

<br />
We all know that there is strength in numbers. What if we actively pursue Him in numbers. Even if it's just within our family? Do husbands and wives pursue God's calling as a couple? Do parents pursue God's calling for their children? Might sound strange, but let me explain. If we see a gift or talent that our children have that can be used for the kingdom, shouldn't we encourage and help them pursue that as a way to minister to others? Instead we let them experience many things, that they choose they want to do, and we bounce around from activity to activity, outside the family unit, with parents separated trying to support each child. Separation. That's what the enemy loves in a family and uses for his purpose. When a family isn't keeping God focused, then it allows the enemy to creep in and steal peace, faith, joy, contentment, a bond, and many other things. Are we pressing toward the mark of the higher calling or pressing toward our own mark? Are we teaching them to press toward the higher calling or their own satisfaction and achievements? I love seeing youth serving together and ministering together. In our family, we've incorporated our gifts into ministry as a family. Some of us do music, give food, send encouraging cards, plan kid's activities, etc. We all work together at serving. We take our children along and be the example of serving in our gifts. This keeps the family together, pressing toward the higher calling and seeing results of our faithfulness to God. Such a greater reward than personal achievements. <br />

Don't misunderstand me. If God is calling you or your child to a particular activity, then He must want to use you in that area. Don't get caught up in your or your child's glory and successes, but stay focused on God's plan. God has recently been showing me this in my own life. When I reach out to a lady that I know I can encourage, what do I do when she doesn't respond to me or rejects me? Do I go cry, because she doesn't want to be my friend? The Father has opened my eyes and mind in keeping my response focused on His plan. If God's plan is to use me in her life, then I want to pursue her. If His plan is to use someone else, then I need to step aside without sulking and feeling rejection and allow someone else to be obedient to what He wants them to do. I don't want to waste time and energy on having a pity party for myself. When we put the focus on ourselves, it's completely taken off of Him and becomes our plan, our agenda, our purpose, and our own desires. Don't let those get in the way of living out HIS plan. <br />

<br />
We are finding that as we serve alongside our children, we are teaching them respect for others, team work, putting others first, real life pain and struggles that we can help and pray people through, how to serve as one body, putting aside personal beliefs and/or opinions. When we serve together as a couple, we are finding that we are growing together beyond what we imagined. We are finding that the bond of marriage grows stronger, not allowing room for the enemy to creep in. The areas that we longed to be changed in the other, just naturally does because God is our focus, and HE is changing that within us as our relationship with HIM grows. <br />

The song that says, "You won't relent until You, have it all", rings within my mind and heart as I desire to turn it around and express to Him that I won't relent loving Him until I've reached the mark. As we've been in more and more contact with hurting people needing and wanting change, we know we can't stop running after His plan, because what if He wants to use us to reach one more person we can pull out of the enemy's pit of drugs, alcohol, suicidal thoughts, stress from the demands of life and being successful, and every day struggles of being a faithful follower of Jesus. We don't want to miss it!!!<br />
<br />
Our family isn't perfect! We are still learning, being disciplined, growing, and hopefully taking strides forward of making changes for the good. Some things that we've chosen to make a regular part of our lives are:<br />
<br />
~Family worship<br />
~Discussing Scripture (even if it's one verse)<br />
~Pray blessings over the children every night<br />
~Encourage open eyes to see who needs help<br />
~Not forgetting the importance of the elderly<br />
~Using gifts to bless others (even when it's uncomfortable)<br />
~Expressing daily what we are thankful for<br />
<br />
I want to encourage you to serve together as a family. Decide what you want your family to represent to those around you, then set out to live that way, bringing your children up with hearts focused on serving and loving in that manner. Here are some ways you can do that, teaching, instructing, and serving alongside your spouse and children:<br />
<br />
~Make and send cards to the sick or shut ins<br />
~Prepare and deliver food to someone with a health challenge, new parents, or elderly<br />
~Volunteer to watch a single mom's children<br />
~Visit a nursing home<br />
~Help at a homeless shelter or food bank<br />
~Collect coats for a winter coat drive<br />
~Rake leaves for someone<br />
~Shovel snow for someone<br />
~Be friendly to neighbors<br />
~Smile at everyone you make eye contact with<br />
~Pray together for certain needs and watch them be answered<br />
~Walk your neighborhood as a family and pray for those who live in each home<br />
~Talk over the dinner table of ways you served or encouraged that day. <br />
<br />
Maybe you can use some of these ideas in your own family or come up with others that fit your family and where you are at in your journey. As Christ followers we can get so complacent in our every day life that we miss the real battle going on for each soul out there. It's real. No matter how much we go to church, read our Bible, pray before every meal and at bedtime, or sing a hymn or chorus in praise, there is still a battle to take over the souls that are doing that. The fight is real. Take it seriously, brothers and sisters. We wrestle not with flesh and blood but against principalities. It takes numbers to fight for each other. It takes intentional living at following God's plan to have victory over sin and darkness. Won't you join us? Won't you step your faith up a notch and get out of your comfort zone to reach the hurting and broken, or to reach those that HE is calling you to reach? Maybe it's the widow next door. Maybe it's the orphan child that lives with grandparents. Maybe it's a couple from church that needs encouragement. Maybe it's the drunkard within your own family. Maybe it's your children that need to have the continued teaching and example of godly living. It doesn't matter who it is! Be warriors and fight the battle with boldness, with His strength, with relentless love for the Almighty, the Creator of all human kind and with love for all people. <br />

Another year of celebrating with friends the wonderful feast of tabernacles or sukkot. Sukkot in hebrew means "booths", which describes the aspect of this feast of dwelling in temporary tents for all seven days of the festival. Leviticus 23:33-36 and Deuteronomy 16:13 talk about the feast and what it entails. Further into Leviticus 23 it speaks of the offerings that were required during the feast. There are always lessons learned or challenges faced during Sukkot that help us grow as individuals or as a group. This year I really felt some heart tugs in regards to how I serve my fellow brothers and sisters and those surrounding me. Not how I do the act of serving but how my attitude is when I do it. What am I offering. During this feast they were to bring extra offerings in addition to their normal offering. What was I bringing in addition to what I was already offering? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Deuteronomy 16:14 "Be joyful at your festival- you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns." God wasn't simply directing this to jews only. He even included the widows in their town to be celebrating this. This is why we keep this feast and celebrate it. Besides, in Zechariah 14 it talks prophetically about this feast happening again. Some how our brains can't wrap around the idea that it happened in bible times, He will have it happen later on according to the prophetic writing in Zechariah, but we shouldn't be doing it now? It just doesn't make sense to us, so we observe this feast and practice the joyful celebration of our King coming (this just might be the actual time of Jesus' birth too if you look into it a little) to dwell with us as we camp out in temporary dwelling places. After all, isn't this earth our temporary home? I sure don't plan on being here forever. Waiting for that day when HE comes back for us to tabernacle with us for eternity. </div>

Every year it looks a little different for us as far as where we are and who we are camping with. Every year is a blessing no matter who we're with because it's the joy and the remembrance of Him being with us and rejoicing in the blessings that He pours out on us. Here are pictures from this year's celebration. We camped with 5 families, but we had so many other families trickle in to visit, study, eat, play, sing, and enjoy each other's fellowship. If any of our readers are interested in this feast and keeping it with us, let us know. We'll keep you posted in the coming year. </div>

This is one of our family's offering. We bring harvest from our garden and cook up a big pan of deliciousness that everybody helps prepare. It's one of our favorite things during the week, working together from the bounty of our harvest and feasting together on it.<br />

We visited another group up in Marshall, MI who also observe this feast. A meal of chicken and veggies over the fire and peach cobbler and ice cream were quite satisfying along with the singing and Scripture story. It's always a treat to visit the Twelve Tribes community and partake in fellowship together.<br />
<br />
The first and last day of the feast are to be high holy days or a special Sabbath. On the regular Sabbath, the families enjoyed doing their own thing, children played, and we had a long time friend and teacher from Valpo come share a teaching he has done in the past called Moshiach (Messiah) in the Feasts.<br />

There was plenty of love to go around with all the little ones to keep track of and care for. <br />
<br />
We had some random people end up in our camp for some medical needs. We hoped that we were the servants Yahweh needed us to be for them. We had various health issues within camp- poison ivy, blisters from walnut juices, bee stings that kept us all caring for one another and each other's children. Those things bring us together. We had meals together. We played together. We sang together. And we sat around enjoying each other's company, encouragement, and gifts that they could offer during the week. <br />
<br />
We each had offerings that were brought to the table that weren't planned ahead. The paramedic in the group was of great help to our group and others in the campground. Different ladies had ointments and oils that came in handy for children and dogs who were in need. Ladies who opened their arms to hold little ones so mamas could shower or prepare food or put other little ones to bed. Knowledge of RVs came in handy for those who needed help. Bringing together the food we had prepared always made for more than enough food for us and others visiting. Even the spilling of popcorn all over the ground resulted in a fun opportunity for the children to see how an accident can be used for the good and as a blessing as they put the kernels from the ground in a paper bowl to cook over the fire. What delight they had as they watched the kernels pop all over the place. <br />
<br />
A week of joy. A week of rejoicing. It went too fast. We didn't get everything in we wanted to. But the love and celebrating was filling and hopefully glorifying to our Saviour.Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-4683740878646520912017-09-26T20:57:00.000-04:002017-09-30T18:58:22.677-04:00And the Trumpet shall sound<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes we go into feast days/weeks prepared and ready for all that the Father has for us, and other times, we go into them unprepared and just barely being ready to participate. This year we didn't feel entirely prepared but open to what He wanted to show us through it. Our hearts have been preparing but last minute preparations and gathering everyone up sometimes gets me. </div>

We usually celebrate the Feast of Trumpets with City on a Hill in Sturgis. They start with a Mikvah (baptism) service, then continue celebrating at the house with food, dance, and games. We've been going through such an amazing time spiritually right now, we were ready for whatever He wanted. We went to the Mikvah not feeling the need to participate, but once I got there, I felt this huge urge to go into the water. I typically prefer doing it with my husband's covering alongside me, but he wasn't planning on doing it, so I thought I'd just let it be. Then Benaiah nudged him and said he wanted to to start a new chapter. Then Alegra went to him and asked if he was going to because she felt like she needed to. Sooo, right away I said, "Yeah, I'm supposed to also". We often times think of baptism as being a one and done kind of thing, but Peter said, "Repent and be baptized". We are continuously repenting for sins, sometimes daily, so why would it mean that we would only need baptized once. We can often times think that it's just for making the decision to walk in faith, believing in Jesus as Saviour, and publicly demonstrating that through being immersed in water. A mikvah was done for that and also for a renewing, cleansing, starting over, etc of life. It also wasn't necessarily done with one person dunking another into the water but with a witness to their profession and action. </div>

For me, I entered to continue my journey forward of walking and living for Him. My spiritual growth has been so great this past year, but I know that there are things that are holding me back, that I'm not letting go of, that need to be gone in order for me to move forward in my growth and in serving and helping others. I entered to be washed of those things that are holding me back. I entered to be made clean, becoming wholly devoted to Him and the work He is calling me to for His kingdom. </div>

The rest of the evening continues with food, fun, games, dance, and lots of fellowship. It's all a reminder of when He will return, coming for us, His bride. I want to be ready. I want to be made new, clean and pure for my groom. I rejoice that He will be coming one day for me.<br />

We were so excited when our hereford, Rosie, gave birth to a heiffer, safe and sound. We still were hoping for Iris to be pregnant, but the farmer was really having his doubts. Then one evening he called me out to walk with him out in the pasture. We walked out with the girls and he made Iris stand up. Looks like a change in her udder. We just might have another baby coming. <br />
<br />
The very next day we were all busy about with jobs. I sent Benaiah out to take some food garbage to chickens when he came back in and said, "Uh, Dad, I think Iris has a baby out there". Our first reaction was to ask him if he was telling the truth. Rosie and Iris look similar but that boy knows his animals and keeps good track of the farm right alongside his dad. Then Josiah said that he thought he saw one too. We scurried around getting boots on and headed out to the field. Sure enough, a sweet little bundle lay out there next to her mama, Iris. <br />

We missed it by a short bit because after birth was still hanging out and there was still a lot of cleaning that needed done. Iris sure did a great job and took care of her new baby. Iris was the one who was always nannying the other calves when they were born, not wanting to leave them by themselves in the field when their mama's would go up to the barn. She has been such a great mom, staying right close to her precious, white faced babe. Since the other white faced calf was named Eclipse I guess the children decided to go with sky names and named this one Moonlight. </div>

The farmer's tally for the summer was 1 bull calf and 4 heiffers, though one was still born. He is quite happy with the ending of his calving season. Right now we have a bull with our girls hoping they'll get pregnant to be ready for next spring. The new mamas will need some time, but the angus will be ready. One evening Jonathon asked me to walk out in the field with him to look at his cows. We walked through the field hand in hand talking of how happy this would all make his dad. How he would love seeing the cows back on the farm. How he would love seeing the children on the farm. How he would love seeing the children love the farm, the animals, the equipment. We feel so blessed to be here, raising our children like this. We walked through the pasture with our boots on, tears in our eyes, and grateful hearts for this life that we live. The animals are a blessing! Our children are a blessing! Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Our hearts are full!!!!Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-14590636099488041852017-09-08T21:09:00.001-04:002017-09-08T22:01:24.975-04:00Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo- 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The children have wanted to go to the zoo for years. The last time we were there was when I was pregnant with Josiah. Yeah, it's been a long time ago. We decided to make the children earn the trip, so they've been working all summer to earn beans. They had to earn so many to get into the zoo, get ride tickets, and then their supper at the end of the day. They all earned enough for all the fun that the whole day held. <br />
<br />
We arrived at the zoo at 9:00am and got busy taking in the sights. We all enjoyed walking, looking, reading, and learning new things.<br />

Alot of us enjoyed the sea lion feeding and show. We watched it at 11:00am and then went back for the 3:00pm show too. We just couldn't get enough of it! They were so playful and active. <br />

We took a long time watching the otters. Josiah did a wildlife board on otters for the 4-H Fair, so he was especially glad to get to see two in real life. Our next goal is to track them down in the winter and look for their tracks in the snow. <br />
<br />
We finished at the zoo around 4:00pm. A full day of fun! We then headed to Ruby Tuesday for supper. More good memories with Saphira doing silly things with the straws and the waitress praising the children for how well behaved they were, which they loved because then they got dessert, ended our day. We all loved the day so much! I'm so thankful for my children. A blessed momma for sure!Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-20061013143582612662017-08-22T11:21:00.000-04:002017-08-22T11:21:07.802-04:00Summer List and Eclipse x2We finally spent some time on the boat with my parents. How have we gone all summer with no fishing fun? As a kid I always loved going to Tom's Donuts by Lake James and walking up to the window to get my fresh donut. It's become a fun thing for my children now too. Throw donuts in with boat fun and you've got a great day! <br />

August 21 we planned to spend the day at Pokagon State Park to watch the eclipse take place. We had invited many friends to join us for a hike, picnic lunch, and viewing party. Our day went much different than I had planned. I was thinking we wouldn't have very many people join us, but I was wrong on that. I also thought we'd leave at a certain time, but we got left late. I also thought our hike would be a long one, but that got changed as well. Keep reading to hear about our exciting day filled with fun and what life seems to be about lately- fellowship amongst the adventure.</div>

We had one more cow getting close to having a baby. She's a late one, but was pregnant, so we roll with it. We've been keeping an eye on her, and this morning, she was by herself behind the barn when Jonathon left for work around 7:45am. He came in and reported, and I asked him if he wanted me to cancel my plans and stay home. Nope, just go. I was busy trying to get lunches packed but noticed out the window that Rosie (our pregnant girl) was up on the hill with the rest of the cows. I didn't notice any discharge, so figured she would be later in the day. But I also noticed that she walked out in the pasture further behind the barn. I sent Josiah out to check on her, but since he couldn't see her behind the barn, he assumed she was in the lane with the rest of the girls. I finished making sandwiches and at 9:00am when we were supposed to be leaving, I ran out to check on her after everyone was loaded up. Ran to the lane- no Rosie. Ran around the house to the back of the barn- no Rosie. Wait, I see her head in the field. Walked up the hill just enough to see she had discharge now. My mama/cow midwife self prayed for her while watching her behaviour. She was still contracting but wasn't lifting her head like the others had done during labor, and she started mooing sweet sounds. Wait, is she licking off a baby? I quickly walked up the hill to see a beautiful little calf on the ground being licked and nudged to get up. I had just missed the whole thing. Josiah probably would've seen it happen if he would've looked to find her. </div>

I ran back and told everyone they could get out to see the new baby and we stood in awe of new life on the farm once again. It's so special and feels like blessing raining down each time it happens. Rosie didn't seem the least bit worried about us standing there watching, but we didn't get too close either. We have one mean mama, so we keep our distance until we know for sure how they'll be. Everyone loaded back up, and we headed out the driveway, 30 minutes late, but we have a new baby, and I wasn't worrying about her all day. </div>

We arrived at Pokagon and after everyone took a potty break, we hit the trail. I decided with Hadassah needing the potty sooner than the rest of us, we'd change what trail we were hiking, so we had better access to the bathroom for her. We hiked down by the tobbogan and to the nature center. </div>

My mom came along and so did Jonathon's sister, Miranda. We had a good hike, then took a break at the nature center. Did puzzles, coloring, watched birds including a molting blue jay that looked quite funny, and Josiah showed my mom the bee observatory. <br />

Back to the trail. We were going to do Trail 1 loop, then head to the Inn, but halfway through the loop, Miranda spotted a snake going across the trail and exclaimed that it was eating a toad. The snake sat just off the trail, so with a stick we moved some branches and greenery out of the way so we could watch this amazing act of nature. That snake cooperated and stayed right there for us to watch. Amazing! The children enjoyed that very much. <br />

Since we took a long time watching the snake, we decided to turn around and head back towards the inn. We had friends coming to meet up for lunch, and I didn't want them to wait on us. <br />

We had our lunch then enjoyed lots of play time with friends, playing football, viewing the eclipse, and sitting around visiting. <br />

For me, the biggest thing that made my day feel full and complete was that I was there surrounded with so many friends. I sat down to count the families and there was a total of 44 people that came out to view the eclipse with us. I'm so thankful for all the people in my life from different walks, areas, and times of my life. I would've loved to get a group photo, but with so many children that would've been near impossible. :) Thank you to all of you who came out to party with us!<br />

The eclipse was really fascinating to watch. Alegra took the picture below by putting protective glasses over her lens. We all enjoyed taking turns with the glasses that were there, sharing with one another to get a glimpse of the rare happening, and getting to look at it through a telescope that the astronomical society brought in. We saw crescent shadows on the ground and definitely felt a temperature change as it happened. Since we weren't in a total eclipse area, we didn't notice other changes that happen when it gets really dark. It did get darker but not a huge amount. I believe our area saw 85% coverage. The next one happening in 2024 should be much closer to being a total. We look forward to that!<br />

Back on the farm our new baby was doing well. She's a beauty. We artificially inseminated Rosie with a hereford, but I don't think it took looking at the baby. She was also in contact with an angus bull, so I'm guessing that's where our baby got the black from. We were anxious to see if this was a boy or girl, so we checked when we got home, and we have another girl to add to the herd. Just what we were praying for! <br />

The farmer and I headed out after supper to get this little girl tagged as our 3rd calf on the farm. Rosie came over and checked us out while we were doing it, but she was fine with it. This little girl was properly named "Eclipse". She seems strong and healthy and sweet as can be. We're blessing Yahweh for another new calf and healthy delivery. <br />
<br />
I'm still delighting in my day yesterday over the hugs, conversations, prayers, and fellowship with my sisters in Christ. Some may only remember the amazing eclipse that happened in the sky, but I'll be remembering all the sweetness that surrounded me all day long. Thank you, again, to all of you who were a part of my sweet day!

We've certainly enjoyed having our friends back in the "area" (lower Michigan), so we can hang out again. It doesn't happen as much as we'd like, but it's better than nothing. We are thankful for so many friends to live life with, even if it means we don't live day to day with them, but only in encouraging talks once a month or once every couple months. </div>

Checking another thing off the list. Get togethers with friends were at the top of our list. Haven't accomplished all the friends, but I think they are all scheduled at least. We got a room painted, garden harvest done, visits to parks, sleep overs, and some water fun. More to come....</div>

This month was a pretty empty month when it first started. With school just around the corner, we are trying to squeeze in everything that we've wanted to do all summer that we've just been too busy for. We've gone kayaking, played family football with friends, got together with special friends, had sleepovers, and campfires. We shared a campfire with family this day and always enjoy when they can come to the farm. </div>

Alyssa and her children don't get to the farm too often, but when they do, the children soak it all up. We put Kyle to work helping pick up rocks out of the field, but they mostly just enjoy the animals and all the space to play.</div>

The summer is flying by, and for some school has already started. We are thankful to be on a different schedule enjoying time together enjoying the warm weather still. We are also glad when we can be hospitable to friends and family. It's what we love most, to share time and life with those we love. More memories to be had this summer. We're checking things off our list and having fun doing it! I hope you all are still soaking up some warm, enjoying the outside, and working in the fresh air. It keeps the body alive and makes one feel full of life.

Twenty Years!!! My, how the time does fly right by, whether you're having fun or not. Thankfully, these days, we are having fun, but it hasn't always been that way. God has brought us through rocky times in our marriage that almost caused us to separate and live our lives apart. I praise HIM for doing a work in both of us that allowed us to live life to the fullest with each other. He can change hearts and mend broken spirits. HIS restoration is powerful and worth all the hard work of sticking it out to become better people together. </div>

We took a long weekend and headed to the Chicago area. We could see the John Hancock from a distance (14 miles away) as we approached our hotel. It was nice to know we were so close to Chicago, yet far enough away to not feel like we were in the craziness of it. </div>

After getting all the children situated , we headed west. We made arrangements with some friends in Valpo to stop by for a visit. They were kind enough to share a meal with us and lots and lots of visiting too. Loved our peaceful, backyard visit with the Slagers!</div>

The first morning we woke up and found a wonderful cafe that was jammed pack with people and filled with good food. It was located in a downtown area that was busy, yet quaint. With all the people standing in line, we thought for sure our wait would be a long time, but they got us seated right away. We forgot what it's like to travel and dine without 6 children. Everything is easier. :)</div>

After breakfast we headed to Go Ape, a treetop experience with zip lines. Let's just say that I loved it and Jonathon did not. Apparently he would rather keep his feet on the ground. There was one moment where I felt a little funny in my eyes from being so high up, but I made it to the next platform and all was fine after that. He struggled with taking that step off the platform to do the zip line. He might have looked a little scared. :) </div>

There were 5 different stations. We moved our trolley, that was attached to a harness that we were in, from one cable to the next. Lots of safety learning ahead of time. Every station had a ladder that we climbed to the first platform. Then from there there were boards to walk on in the air, wires to walk on, rope walls to climb across, all while being way up in the air. Some of the areas gave you an option whether you wanted to do moderate or extreme or difficult or extreme. They weren't kidding when they said "extreme". I'm still sore from some of those extreme sections. <br />

Every landing from the zip line was special. Jonathon ripped his jeans on one of his landings and I always thought I would make it facing forward, but always ended up sideways then backwards. Made for an awkward landing, but funny.</div>

This was the very last section before the longest zip line. Right before this we did the Tarzan jump. Talk about a rush of some kind. You walk off a platform into mid air. You drop and drop until your cable catches, then you swing across the forest into this large rope wall. You bounce off of that the first time, then grab it the second time and climb up to the next platform. We did it at the same time and both screamed the whole time we dropped. I've never done anything like that! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
After our fun activity, we went back to the hotel for showers because we were both sweaty and dirty. What a workout all that climbing and balancing was. After we were cleaned up, we headed back to the downtown area where we ate breakfast. We went to an Olive Oil and Vinegar store where we could taste different flavored oils and vinegars. That was interesting. We looked around a chocolate shop. Then we decided to get an early supper, and Jonathon chose a steakhouse. We walked into the building and then had to go to the basement to the actual restaurant. Below was the entrance. </div>

After a lovely supper out, we did some much needed shopping without children, grabbed some sweet treats and headed back to the hotel for the evening. We brought along the time capsule that was given to us for a wedding gift. We opened it on our 10 year anniversary and again for this anniversary. We plan on putting some new information in it, along with updated letters from family and friends. If you want to contribute something, feel free to mail us something to put in. We really enjoy reading through the letters from grandparents and parents. Made me tear up as most of the family that contributed letters have passed away. Even Jonathon expressed how he missed some of my family that were gone. Sweet moments for us in remembering back.</div>

The hotel gave us free vouchers for a full breakfast at their restaurant, so the next morning we got up and went for a free breakfast. Jonathon had waffles with berries and I had a veggie omelet with potatoes. All was very good but not quite as good as the Blueberry Hill Cafe we went to before our zip lining expedition. <br />
<br />
This area in Illinois is full of parks, so we decided to check one out before leaving to go home. Of course we would pick the one with a waterfall. It was small but so beautiful. I could've sat there all day. I told Jonathon if we had a place like this near us, school would be done by the falls every week. There's just something so enjoyable about moving water. It was the perfect place for little ones to play and enjoy nature. <br />

On our way home, we made a farm store stop and a Hobby Lobby stop.

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We're learning alot during this first year of calving on the farm. Hopefully you met Briar, our first calf to be born, in a previous blog post. His birth was amazing in that we watched the whole thing progress from start to finish. He's a spunky little guy though, so we weren't able to get our hands on him much. He has had a halter on, but he's not too fond of it (neither was his mama). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our next mama due started labor in the late morning. Jonathon was concerned she was having a hard time, but we watched and kept an eye on her. Eventually we saw hooves. Uh oh, back feet coming first is not good. Jonathon had to leave for a short bit, but I kept my eyes on her and gave him updates as I could. At one point I text him that we needed to help her when he got home, and only 8 minutes later I went out to check her and the baby was born. Our first still born calf. The mama licked, nudged, and kept trying to bring her baby to life with no success. I'll admit, I did cry. Watching that mama try so hard to get her baby up and not leaving baby's side was quite heart wrenching. She stayed by that baby all night and the next morning, before she finally left it's side. Jonathon went out and brought the calf up to the barn so we could bury it. That mama mourned for 3 days, mooing sadly and going back to the spot where she had the baby. It really was sad. The farmer was just as sad to watch her grieve and watch the other mama moo at her like she was trying to console her. The animal world is fascinating. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The farmer was even sadder when he realized that the calf was his first heifer. Our first girl. Jonathon, Diella and I dug a hole. What a sad day on the farm. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A week later, I look out my kitchen window at the cows in the field and commented how that other girl out there sure looks miserable. Farmer thinks she'll have her baby before the end of the week. Next morning I'm taking a shower and Alegra comes in with news that there is a calf out in the field and it looks like the mama and calf are dead. Ugh, WHAT??? Can't I just have a peaceful shower! Jonathon had told me that when she went into labor, he wanted me to keep a close eye on her because she looked so big. Why hadn't he mentioned to me before he left for work that she was in labor? Did he even know? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I told Alegra to go out and check to make sure they were alive. She came back with a happy, full of life report. After I got out of the shower, I called the farmer, "So, you have a new member on the farm." His response, "WHAT???" He apparently didn't check on them before he left for work. What a relief that her labor was during the night and all was well. We named that cow Flo since she flowed on her own and she seemed to be a much more mellow mama than Blossom. We were actually able to get to the calf to tag the ear (#2) and check her over. We have us a little girl!!! The farmer is so happy! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On day 2 he was feeling a little concerned about her because she was sleeping out in the hot sun all day long without nursing. We walked out to check on her, where she let me really give her some lovins. What a sweet, sweet girl. She's got my heart. I just might be turning into a farmer's wife, but, shhh, don't tell the farmer. ;) Alegra named this one, and her name is Fern. </div>

There is more happenings on the farm too. We're waiting for one more mama to have her baby. She's getting bigger. She is one of our Herefords that was artificially inseminated, so she might have a cute little hereford calf. We are excited to see what she has. Our other cow may or may not be pregnant. We aren't real sure at this point. She wouldn't be due til a little later, so we watch and wait. Rosie is up next though.<br />
<br />
Jonathon has also been busy doing hay to prepare for winter. He's such a hard worker and loves his animals. Knowing that he has cattle and machinery back on the farm does his heart good and mine too when I hear him talk about it. It's not a luxurious life, but it's our life, and we live it together, all while raising our children to work hard, love the animals and love the land. <br />

The garden is planted and looking pretty good so far. Strawberry plants are growing and hopefully we'll have our own to pick next year. Herbs are planted and getting established. Our rhubarb patch didn't do so swell, but we'll plant again in the fall in the spots where it died. We've got chicks galore and a crazy dog who thinks he's the keeper of them. He loves getting in their pen and keeping them herded to the designated place he makes for them. He's becoming quite the farm dog and making up for all the times I was ready to send him back to the shelter when we first got him. It's taken a lot of training and he still has some areas he could grow in, but overall, I can't complain since he's cooperative with Hadassah crawling all over him and he doesn't mind all the little critters that are around here. He's been hearing, "Good boy!" more and more.

<br />
For the last couple weeks, I've had on my mind to write a post about my own personal journey in the last year. Somehow, time goes by, I don't have time to sit down and think on it, and then a few weeks have passed by. I suppose I've not wanted to write something, because I wanted to make sure all my thoughts were together before I started, so I didn't miss something. Since I've been working in the garden so much lately, I've gathered lots of thoughts while I work.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the fact that I'm a busy mom. I home school 5 children, keep the 6th child out of everyone's stuff and the cupboards, am a housewife who tries to prepare healthy meals and keep everyone in clean clothes, I'm the doctor, the cleaning lady, the teacher, the gardener, the cow midwife for the farmer, the encourager, the tear wiper, the bottom wiper, the prayer warrior, the discipliner, the singer, the plan maker with friends and family, and the one who keeps all things organized around here. At times it feels like a heavy task and other times it feels like I couldn't possibly add one more thing to my list. <br />
<br />
I'm sure if you're a mom, you can relate to the above, whether your life matches up perfectly with mine or not. Being a mom is just plain a tough job. This year during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, I was writing out what sins I needed cleansed from and what I could do to replace and clean up those areas and the verses that spoke to my heart during the week long feast (this is a family tradition that we do every year). As I was looking over my paper from last year, I realized that I had written out a verse about JOY. It hit me that last year, I was struggling with not having joy in my life. As I sat there and thought about it, I rejoiced in the fact that I felt like joy had been restored into my life. It's so easy as a mom to get bogged down with life, children, activities, and expectations of others, that joy can slip right out of the heart and float off into the atmosphere without one even noticing it. <br />

<br />
What have I done that's changed that? I still do all the things listed above, so how did that change for me? I began being grateful for the big things, the little things, and even the things that may not have happened that God was sparing me from. Gratitude filled my heart and I began focusing on that more. It's still a journey to keep a thankful heart about all things, but baby steps will accomplish a huge heart change when practiced consistently. The other thing I began doing was praying out loud with fervent, intentional, and diligent prayers. I wasn't interested in the religious wording or sounding holy and perfect. I began crying out to the Father in prayer with a raw and exposed heart, longing for Him to hear me and expecting Him to answer how He saw best. This changed me even more. There is something so special about taking time to communicate to the Master of the Universe with expectations of change. I've seen more prayers answered since pouring my heart out to Him, than I have in a long time. Just be real. <br />

<br />
Over winter we spent a couple weeks in Florida, feeling the warm sun and rejuvenating our minds to come home. I was reading Lisa Bevere's book Lioness Arising, and had a total transformation of thinking. Her book focuses on women and becoming who we are to be in comparison to a lioness. By the end of the book, I knew I needed to get out of my comfort zone and reach out to women. You may not know me if you're reading this, or you may have known me for 1 year or 15 years. I've never been one to lead conversations or even care about throwing in my input. I'm usually quite content to just sit and listen to everyone else talk. I knew that God wanted me to get out of that thinking and become who HE wants me to be, so I can be of use to Him. <br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, a quiet person can be used for His kingdom, but He wanted more of me. He wanted me to ditch what and who I thought I was and become a clay vessel that He molded me into. A vessel that could give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, and hope to the lost. How could I do that if I always just relied on my husband to carry conversations? How could I do that if I was more likely to sit in the corner with my children, so I didn't have to engage with others? How could I do that if I was unwilling to go places, afraid to talk to people that I could tell needed a listening ear, and afraid to say words that needed said to help someone heal? <br />
<br />
Fear can so easily overtake a person in many ways. It can cause you to worry about what others think or say about you. It can cause you to sit back and avoid conversations so you aren't uncomfortable. It can cause you to think that you have nothing to give and that you just aren't the type of person who can be a friend or speak life into someone. Fear lies. Fear causes a person to think that they can't do something. Fear molds a person into what it wants them to be- a scaredy cat. <br />

<br />
In all of my searching and growing, I've realized that fear is just a tool of the enemy. It's a tool to make me believe that I can't get out and be a light. It's a tool that makes me think that I'm of no use to the lady sitting in the corner with her children. It's a tool that has drug many women down in making them think that they just aren't the sociable type. If you thought you could get out and be a light, you could minister to that lonely woman in the corner with all the children crawling on her, and that you are sociable and can encourage many people with your words and actions, fear would be stomped out. You could live a whole and complete life, serving, doing, speaking, and accomplishing great things in the lives of those hurting. <br />
<br />
When I think about what He has called us to do here on earth, it's not sit in my corner and mope about my tired, busy mama life. It's get up, go to, speak up, walk through, reach out, and pray with those who need a little hope in their life. If you feel like you just can't be sociable and engaging, take a look at what you might be afraid of. Take a look at what God created us for. Take a look at the world around you and see how much hurt there is. Even if you just step over to that lonely mama in the corner, you will have taken the first step in not letting fear rule your life. Be encouraged sister that HE has greater plans for you to overcome your fear and minister to those around you. Be encouraged that HE wants you to live a whole and complete life not in the corner, but in the center of the room, praying over everyone that fills the corners. :) Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-81152245901854442202017-05-07T19:55:00.000-04:002017-05-07T20:02:16.796-04:00First Calf on the Farm<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've been waiting for the day that we would have some new little ones to welcome on the farm. last Tuesday was the big day! We knew the day was getting closer, but we weren't really sure how close. We know of a couple signs now to look for when the heifer is within a day or two of having a calf. The children had a couple friends staying with us which made it all the more exciting that we got to share the moment with them. The only sad thing was that farmer Jon missed it all. He was so sad about it but was afraid he might have been a nervous papa in wait if he would've been here. Instead, I got to keep track of the mother and how she was progressing, report in to the farmer, and keep myself from being nervous. I kept her covered in prayer that all would go well and she'd deliver naturally without any complications. I sure was thankful when it was all over with and everything turned out perfectly.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were sitting at the table working on school when Benaiah said, "Mom, I think something is coming out of the cow". Sure enough, I looked out and quickly put on my shoes and coat to go out and get a closer look. Looked like things were just starting from the outside appearance, but I have a feeling she was already having contractions and working on it before we could tell. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We kept at our daily routine, but I went to the window often to check on her. We were all so thankful that she chose to be in the closest grazing area to the house, which happens to be on the side with easy viewing windows. After awhile the girls came downstairs (they were watching from their bedroom window) and said, "she is laying down and can't keep her legs together". Okay, I'll check. Then Jonathon's brother stopped on his way back to work to let us know we had a baby coming. I looked out the window and sure enough. Bundle up children, let's go!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The older children and one of their friends joined me and out we went to watch the happenings. It looked quite gross and the girls weren't real sure of it all, but what an amazing feeling to watch the birth of our first calf. I kept praying for her and quietly coached her as I would a human mama in labor. :) At this point, the other cows were still in the area, but they were a bit away from her and grazing without taking notice of what was going on with her. </div>

Immediately, the other cows stopped grazing, looked over at her and after a 2 second pause from all of them, they all walked over to her. She was busy cleaning baby up, but the other cows formed a circle around her and looked at the new arrival for a good bit before they walked away and continued grazing.</div>

We made sure baby nursed and got up and walked around before we went in. It took some time, but eventually all was fine and mama proved to be a good mama.<br />
<br />
After Farmer Jon got home, he met me out by the fence to see the new little BOY. He's a handsome little guy and full of spunk. The first couple days he did a lot of sleeping, which made us wonder if he was dead or alive. BUT he is quite alive and the cutest little thing. <br />

This time of year, we are all done with having to sit inside and do school work. I usually start the year out saying we'll do a field trip every month, but somehow, during those winter months, I just don't want to get out and do anything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With spring in the air, I decided we needed to get out, and I was so thankful for our good friend, Kathy Troyer who suggest we visit her aunt's house to observe the bluebirds. That sounded like a fantastic field trip to me!</div>

Later in the week, we had already made plans with other friends to meet up at a children's museum in Michigan, so the children could hang out and learn something all at the same time. Kids n Stuff children's museum is a small place in a small town, but the children had so much fun exploring, using their imaginations, and doing some brain work with some of the displays. <br />

The grocery store area looked like a hurricane went through, so we went through and organized the shelves and put away everything that was on the floor. The store was spotless when we were done. Next time I'll let them actually play in the area, using their checkout lanes, scanners and registers with fake money. It was all so fun! :)</div>

There were some areas we didn't even get to explore, so they want to go back. Every month they have a free day, so we were glad to take advantage of it without it costing us anything. We'll plan to go again and finish what we didn't see. If anything, it was a good time for the children to reconnect with their buddies from Michigan and learn a little differently than doing book work. </div>

The spring feasts are upon us and oh, it has felt so good to prepare and get ready for them. Some years, I just can't seem to get ready in time or don't get things around for extra lessons for the children, but this year I've been anticipating the celebrations!<br />
<br />
We had our traditional family movie night where we watch the Passover Movie on YouTube and discuss what stuck out to us. This year it moved my heart so much that the older Dad saw that Yeshua/Jesus was truly the Messiah. I wonder if we are so used to the hum drum of going to church every week and doing the same old thing for our religious practices that we forget what He did for us and that He truly is the Saviour of the world. That scene caused me to think on it more this year and whether my heart was swept away with awe and worship at the thought of what HE did.<br />
<br />
The evening of Passover we went to City on a Hill in Sturgis for a service and worship. We always enjoy going through the Seder and sharing with the children how everything from the Old Testament truly speaks of Him and the Scriptures He fulfilled. It was a lovely time with other feast observers. <br />

And after the afikomen was found, the children got to dig into these matzah houses. They are always so much fun for the children to enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As we continue on celebrating during this week of Unleavened Bread, we are reminded that so much sin can hide in our hearts and that we need to sometimes dig deep, pull things out, look behind, and always double check to make sure it is all truly cleaned out of our bodies. These are such great teaching moments for the children and reminders for us. We never end this feast wishing we wouldn't have had to do all the work of cleaning out the leaven from our home, because we always see some kind of big growth in each of our hearts afterwards. That's what feasts are about- seeing Jesus within them and letting them draw us nearer to Him and His Word, without adding in other pagan forms of worship. It is pure, holy, and truly His plan in giving us times to celebrate His goodness and faithfulness to us, which he laid out so perfectly in Scripture. I know we all sin, but I want to be found blameless and holy in the way I worship and celebrate what He has done for me. </div>

It comes once every 2 years and is a vacation that everyone looks forward to. Our biannual trip to Florida with the Murphy parents. We drive down, rent a house, and try to plan a few things that are fun day trips. Last time we were on the go a lot. This time, the children were really wanting more time at the house to swim, so we decided we would only have a couple days to get away that were planned, other than that, we just lived one day at a time and soaked up all the sun.</div>

Since my parents drive also, it's nice for the children to take turns riding with them. It breaks up the long trip a bit, along with stopping in Georgia at a hotel for the night. Since we don't have video accessibility in our van, the children do a lot of different things to pass the time. They play the license plate game, the alphabet game, Benaiah practiced his reading on different billboards, we sang a lot, they looked at books, we played I Spy with things out the window (Saphi's version is different than most versions of I Spy but works well for a trip), and we make up games (in the picture above, Saphira is using 2 cups as her rocket controls).</div>

We arrived at the house in good time. It was time for supper, so I had prepared chicken burritos ahead, and popped those in the oven for supper while we began unpacking and making the house our home for 2 weeks. After unpacking and eating supper, the children didn't hesitate to get in the pool. I don't know what the temperature was of the pool all week, but it was so warm and amazing that everyone made sure to enjoy every day. </div>

The first morning most everyone wanted to stay at the house and swim after being cooped up in the vans for 2 days. My dad wanted to start fishing, so he and my mom planned to go to the pier in Venice early in the morning. I was looking forward to fishing as well, so I took the opportunity to go without children. It was quiet with only a few, older men fishing too, but after some conversation with them, we learned they were from Middlebury and Syracuse, IN. Small world. We caught a few pinfish like in the picture above, but other than that, nothing else was biting. We did enjoy watching a dolphin roll around in the water right under where we were fishing off the pier. I loved that so much and wished the children could've seen it too. </div>

After we got back to the house, the others decided they wanted to go to the beach to do some shark tooth hunting. It was a gorgeous day with not much wind (the morning was beautiful out on the pier), so it wasn't hard to want to go back to the ocean to spend a couple hours in the afternoon. My parents always come prepared with plenty of sifters and usually come up with some other contraptions for getting the teeth. Some ideas work great, others not so much. :)</div>

One thing we enjoy about this area is that it has one of the few dog beaches in the area. It's a short walk on the beach from the pier, as you can see from the second picture down. We LOVE walking there and watching all the dogs play in the water and with each other. <br />

My dad is a real swimmer and enjoyed playing with the children. Jonathon bought a set of scuba gear for the children to practice with in the pool. I wish I would've got a picture, but I was in the pool when it happened. My dad and Benaiah both had goggles and my dad had the breathing thing on the face mask, and they were both swimming around the pool with their get up on. It was pretty cute in all it's swimming geekiness. :)</div>

After our self guided tour of the fort, we grabbed our lunch we packed and headed to the pier that was in this park. This pier wasn't free so the children and my dad were the only ones who could fish. My dad got a license so he'd be set to fish wherever he pleased. We just fished on the Free pier in Venice. </div>

On our way back to the Sarasota area, we swung by another museum called the Florida Agriculture Museum. It was free will donation and displayed many ways of farming and what all Florida has been used for agriculturally. It was very interesting since we don't grow tropical things in our area. Florida is also a big state for cattle, which we are interested in, but different kinds and in different ways. Very interesting to read about.</div>

They explained how cattle are branded and gave some examples from different ranches in the area. Then we could make our own branding. My mom came up with the one below for our family. The number 8 next to a line to look like a "B" for our last name. She's pretty clever.</div>

It's always a nice time for us to do out on a date while my parents are right there to help with children. We both got restuarant.com certificates for Ophelia's on the Bay which was a fancy place on the water. We went first and gave them our review. It was absolutely delicious food with an amazing view. I felt pampered to say the least and enjoyed my time out with Jonathon.<br />

This day was a real low key day. We stayed at the house and did nothing but swim, lay in the sun, and relax. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing that was a big part of every day was family devotions. Most of the time we did them in the morning but a couple times if someone left early in the morning to fish or do a day trip, we would do them in the afternoon. Jonathon took portions from the book The Garden of Gratitude and turned them into short readings and stories. This was a great reminder to us throughout the week to be thankful and treat others with kindness. Every morning my mom (and sometimes all of us together) would choose a word that described or was the focus of that day's devotion. She would cut them out of the colored paper and then tape them to the window in the dining room that overlooked the pool area. It was always right in front of us to remind us of what we should keep our focus on. </div>

Perspective was clever since everyone has a different perspective on life. From the inside the word looked backwards, but from the outside it was the right direction. It was also made with different colors of paper, to show that we all see life in different ways. </div>

This morning we all decided to get up and head to Caspersen Beach to fish and see if we can get more shark teeth. Some of them might be addicted to shark tooth hunting. :) Well, it was really chilly and some of us decided to go back to the house in a short amount of time. </div>

This day was a relaxed, do what we wanna do day. There was an aquarium pet shop a short walk from our house, so my family ventured out to walk to that. It was so much fun with lots of different salt water fish and creatures. The rest of the day we lazied around at the house and in the pool, then late afternoon my dad wanted to go to the pier to do some fishing. We knew we'd catch the sunset, which we hadn't done yet on the trip, so we all loaded up and headed to the beach. It was a gorgeous evening!!</div>

We wanted to take family pictures, which most everyone dreads. We decided to make a day of it and head to a botanical garden that was free. We're all about free stuff if you hadn't figured that out yet. :) We visited Palma Sol Botanical Garden north of Bradenton and had a lovely time there. </div>

We went into the little visitor center to see if there were any brochures or other information and there happened to be a piano in there and 2 older, very friendly ladies. They asked if anybody played, so we encouraged the piano players in the family to play a piece. Alegra and Josiah both played, which was a big step for mostly Josiah to play in front of others and without preparing something. He can be shy, but he's growing and gaining in strength in this area. <br />

Just down the road from the botanical garden was a nature preserve that I thought might have some nice spots for pictures but really had no idea what was in this park. My parents stayed back at the vehicles while the rest of us took a walk. We were in the hot sun and walking a long distance so you can imagine that happiness that came from all involved. :) I was happy. It was a beautiful day and I had my whole family together checking out more of Florida that we don't get to see in our neck of the country. We saw some pretty cool things too while on our walk. <br />

We couldn't get the baby to stay in a picture, so I'd hold her until we thought it was getting close to take a picture and then I'd let her go. We never knew where she'd end up. :) Just glad it wasn't in the water. :D<br />

We had the most fun watching the bird who stood perfectly still for a long time. Then he started waving his neck back and forth. He began taking very slow steps while he continued to wave his neck. There were fiddler crabs all over the place there and I explained that he's making himself look like a plant to not scare them away. We watched him for a long time until he finally quickly pecked down and snatched up a crab. Amazing how they know what to do and can thrive because of that natural instinct.<br />

This little crab was right in the middle of the path and gave us a good laugh. Somebody spied it and we almost stepped on it, but we thought it might be dead. We all gathered closely around it to look at it and see if it was really dead. All of a sudden the thing bolted out of it's little pit and went scurrying towards Diella and Saphira. Diella grabbed Saphira by the head so fast and drug her back without even thinking what she was doing. Some way of protecting the little sister. Oh we laughed at that, since Saphira wasn't hurt by the violent rescue. :)</div>

So before heading out to Manisota Beach (Diella read it was the best for shark tooth hunting), I hesitantly asked if we could try pictures again. Maybe there would be a better lighting area there. There were only a few grumbles but most cooperated and I prayed that it would go smoothly and wouldn't be a big ordeal. We packed a cooler with lunch food and snacks and grabbed beach clothes and all the fishing, shark tooth hunting, sand gear and headed out. I try to live by living life with no regrets, and I was so afraid that if we didn't try pictures one more time, I would regret making everyone go through the torture two days in a row. I'm soooo glad we did it, and I think everyone else is equally as glad with the pictures we ended up capturing. </div>

Jonathon and I decided to take a walk along the water down where there weren't as many people. It was a long walk, but quiet and peaceful and discussion was good and adultish. :) On our way back to everyone else, I said, "You know what would make this day perfect? If there would be a dolphin right out there off the shore for the children to see." We were almost back to everyone when my dad pointed out to the water and said, "There's a porpoise". Sure enough. But there wasn't just one, there was two. Jonathon looked at me, and we both smiled, and I said a heartfelt thanks to God for hearing my very simple and unimportant prayer and answering it so quickly, just to bless our day even more than it had already been. The picture isn't close enough, but you can see it slightly in the distance. <br />

I can only take so much of keeping the baby from eating sand and shells and sitting on the beach doing nothing. On Jonathon and I's walk, I noticed these fun sticks with shells on them that people put up by the grasses. So, I found a stick and set out looking for shells with holes to decorate it with. It appealed to my artsy side and made a cute place for Hadassah to get her picture taken. </div>

We spent the 15th at the house all day, swimming and sun bathing, and after asking everybody what one thing they would like to do before we have to go home, Manasota Beach won out again. Alegra had more pictures she wanted to take, Diella wanted to do more shark tooth hunting, and the boys took the football to play on the beach. When we were leaving on the 14th, my m om and I took a different trail back to the van than the rest of our group, and just off the trail we saw a big iguana. Well, when we went back, my dad asked about the iguanas and some maintenance guys said that a few years back they had to thin them out because they were so thick. Needless to say, to we kept our eyes peeled for them now since the children didn't get to see them the first time we were there. On this day we saw them everywhere. It was a good lesson for the children that they were there all along but we didn't know it so we weren't looking for them. Once we knew they were there, we could spot them easily and everywhere. </div>

We also enjoyed watching this turtle that chose to live in the hole that an iguana dug out. I guess this is what they do. The iguana digs the holes (now we know why there were so many holes all over the park) and the turtles move in with the iguanas. There was an iguana in this hole, but it was back in too far to see. </div>

Though the sun was shining and the water was blue, we could tell that there was red tide in the air. As soon as we got out of the van we all started coughing. My dad was the only one familiar with it, so he said to breathe through our noses and that helps. It did but even just talking made us cough. I decided to help Alegra get some of her photo list done, so she didn't go home regretting that she didn't try the different poses and Diella got in a little tooth hunting. After that, we decided to go back to the house, because it just wasn't enjoyable and the baby was coughing the most. <br />

After everyone swam and we had supper, we ended the evening singing together while Jonathon played his guitar. He played throughout the weeks, but we never just sat around all of us and sang and that was on my mom's list of what she wanted to do before we left. When we finished, I asked the children if they preferred that or would have rather watched one of their favorite shows. They all voted for singing together. That makes my heart swell.</div>

One last time on the beach, soaking up some sun. The red tide was bad, but only in certain areas. There is a restaurant called Sharkies at the head of the pier. As we walked by it to head out onto the pier, all you could hear were people coughing all over the place inside and in the waiting areas outside. It was crazy. Once we got to a certain place on the pier, we didn't notice it anymore. I would have thought that being out over the ocean would have made it worse, but it didn't. We spent a good bit fishing, and Dad used his bait blaster and got lots of attention from passerbys with that. </div>

Oh this weather is sweeping me off my feet! If only I had time to sit outside and read or take more hikes in the woods or just sit and be still in meditation on the Lord. But life doesn't slow down for those luxuries every day it's gorgeous out. And we've had some pretty ones lately! </div>

On Sunday my parents called to see if anybody wanted to go for a hike to one of the local parks in Kendallville. It's a nice little park that we enjoy hiking with a couple good elevations of hills to climb, but short enough to not get so tired. Some of us decided to go and take Titus along. Alegra captured some pretty sun shots through the trees. We also had the joy of watching a pileated woodpecker flying through the woods too. Those birds are just a delight to watch. </div>

That same evening we had squash and sausage and a mixed greens salad from the garden. As I was cutting the greens the girls came running over to watch. They've grown to love kale (only the leafy part. They leave the thick stem on the ground) and that's the only way we can hand feed them at this point. Next year, it looks like I'll be planting more kale just for the cows. ;) <br />

Iris is sweet and comes across more timid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's got lovely thick fur and one red eye patch on her face. </div>

Rosie has 2 red eye patches and her build seems much stronger and sleeker. Maybe it's because her fur isn't thick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She comes to the fence much quicker but is still cautious at quick movements. </div>

We noticed this evening that Rosie has one hoof that is reddish brown like her coat, where as the other hooves are jet black. She's a beauty of an animal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We recently got a bull to hang out with the girls. We were having hard time catching them in heat, so this will allow us to not have to watch them so much and worry about how to catch them to do it the artificial way. They are sure enjoying having that bull out there. He sounds scary to me, so we all keep our distance and enjoy them from afar now. :) </div>

The last highlight in our home lately is that Alegra has started babysitting for a friend's baby 3 days a week. She comes here to the house, so we are getting accustomed to having a little, little one in the house again. I must say that everyone enjoys her, and I'm glad to take my turn feeding her and snuggling her. She's a delight and has the best smile! Kinslee is taking over the "cute" status in our house, but as soon as she leaves, we still hear plenty of cute comments that go out to our 2 littlest. </div>

Hadassah has been getting those comments the most lately. She is growing and getting such a personality. With all the other children looking like a Bovee, I still just can't believe how much she looks like a Murphy. So many Murphy expressions. It's fun to watch and see my baby pictures in her face. She's becoming so big and expressive, understanding more and more every day.<br />

She is precious, and we are so blessed that our girls can begin learning to care for others, not just their own siblings. I'm letting Alegra do most of the work with her (accept when I want my turn to feed her or snuggle her :) ). It's been fun seeing what she decides to do when she fusses or how she puts her to sleep. My girls are growing, and I am blessed seeing how they are turning out. <br />
<br />
Then we had the fun of Benaiah going hunting with Grandpa and Grandma. It was the perfect evening for him to sit with them. He was the one to spot the buck coming and remained quiet unlike last year when he blurted out that there was a deer, scaring it away. I believe our boy is growing up too. <br />

We all enjoy helping with the finding and watching all the excitement of getting a deer Even more exciting and memorable when one of the children can be a part for the whole hunt. These are great memories for our children and wonderful lessons that they are learning. So thankful that they can experience the country life and all it entails. A good hunt, Grandpa Dan!Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-49436338620170394742016-11-07T21:12:00.000-05:002016-11-07T21:12:05.350-05:00Fall is in the Air<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh these days have been so incredible. We've been soaking up every little bit of sun and warm we possibly can.The children might say we were making them work too much, but hey, I remind them it's better to work when we have this weather than when it's freezing or raining. AND they've been able to play around too. Alegra practiced some photography with the amazing light she had yesterday. It sure is pretty out there with the changing of colors in the trees. We need to remember that Indiana truly is a beautiful place to live during these months. Others from areas in the states that don't have the changing of colors would love to live in a place where this beauty happened. I pray that I not take these scenes for granted and just enjoy the views as they are infront of me. </div>

A friend and I hosted a Hillbilly Chili Date Night. Well, she did most of the work, but we let the party take place at our shack. We had so much fun, way too many laughs that caused sore cheeks, and some delicious foods. I'm thinking that some of us with children weren't sure how to properly act without children around. Haha! It was a fun night and I believe most had a good time. Here's some of the shenanigans that took place.</div>

Let eh games begin!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first game was Ready Spaghetti.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One player took a spaghetti noodle (actually I used fettucine noodles so they'd be thicker) and had to put one end through the tab of an empty can of pop. After they got it through, the other player grabbed onto the other end to take the can across the line. They couldn't use their hands and if the noodle broke, they had to use whatever pieces were left. We timed them and for how many cans they got across, we deducted time off their final score.</div>

The second game was Penny Hose. There was a penny in each foot of a pair of panty hose. One arm from each couple had to reach in and get the penny then get it back out and on the table, without using their other hand. It was a challenge and some accomplished it, in interesting ways. :)</div>

The third game was the Wrap Around. They had to unwrap a roll of crepe paper on their spouse before 1 minute was up. I honestly didn't think about people getting really dizzy. It was comical and some were quite creative so they wouldn't get dizzy.</div>

Thank you everyone who came to enjoy a night out! Thank you to Casie who did so much to put it all together and make it actually happen. We must make this a regular thing. I'm sure we all got healthier from all the laughing. Such good medicine! Good food and fellowship and wonderful friends!

This school year I decided to approach the year differently than I have in the past. I was tired of the children being bummed about school every day. I was tired of the lack of motivation with my children to do their school. This year I decided to try and squeeze in more field trips and outside time of learning. I don't believe that all they learn should be learned from a book. Actually I think the opposite is a much better way to learn and since my children have differently learning styles, I need to incorporate that in our every day schooling. </div>

With the weather being so incredible, we've taken advantage of the outdoors by visiting Pokagon State Park with friends. We've recently restored a relationship with another family that we used to be close to. After a bit of time apart from situations and moves, we've sparked the friendship back up and our children are loving it! We decided to meet for nature hikes and active play once a month this school year. We'll see how the winter months go. Pokagon is a great meeting place for us, and the children love having their friends to hang out with that they don't get to see very often. </div>

One of the fun activities that we always look forward to in the fall is the Old Fort Cluster Dog Show. Usually Jonathon gets to join us, but he has been swamped with work, so it was just me and kiddos. We always enjoy seeing the different breeds, guessing what kinds they are, and trying to guess which dog will win and watching to see who places. We didn't stay as long as usual with other plans in the evening that we needed to get home to, but we were each able to see some dogs that we wanted to, so that was great!<br />

Most people there to show are really busy grooming their animals and getting ready for shows or taking care of their dogs, so very few people take the time to talk with us. This lady was exceptional at giving my children attention and letting them learn a little too.</div>

We had some winter clothes to get for children before we left Ft. Wayne and then we headed home for an evening of fun with friends. Rushed home, cleaned up house and arranged for a night of fellowship, took the children to some friend's house, then welcomed guests for a Hillbilly Chili. We don't allow dull moments to set in too much around here. :)<br />
<br />
I hope you are all enjoying this amazing weather. Looks like tomorrow is going to be another great day of warm and sun. Looks like we'll be in the garden and hopefully get some school book work done too. And of course there's piano lessons and our every day life chores....Life goes on.Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-42077984541702330232016-11-06T18:03:00.000-05:002016-11-06T20:55:42.658-05:00Family Pictures Fall 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know, life is busy around here. Jonathon's work is giving him jobs left and right (no complaints here!). Homeschooling 4 children with 2 other littler ones is taxing. There are always meals to make, laundry to do, dishes to wash, floors to sweep (thanks to the shedding dog- glad that phase is over for a bit!), diapers to change, bodily injuries or sickness to tend, outside yard and garden to keep up, and family and friends to keep relationships going. Sometimes I feel like I don't have time for one more thing to get accomplished, yet somehow every day I get all that done. Does my house look messy when you stop by unexpectedly? Yes! Will there be laundry on my couch in piles? Yes! Will I be rushing around to get food on the table? Yes!<br />

I wish I could set all that aside and not apologize for a messy house. I wish I could welcome others in and not worry that my floors are dirty. What's important? What's the day to day tasks and efforts I put forth worth in this life? If I'm fussing about a messy house and things undone, then it's not worth much.<br />

It takes a lot of work to tend all the needs in my home. It takes time, energy, love, and patience. Do I fail at times? Yes. Am I successful at teaching my children with patience and kindness most days? Yes, but not all days. Do I long to be a vessel that can reach the hearts of my children and others that are lost in my community? Yes. The time in this life can be so short. We almost didn't go take these pictures the day we did. I'm so glad we took time to do it. They capture us. They capture the love that we have for one another. Yes, there is fighting and bickering. There are arguments and fussing children. BUT in the end, look how Benaiah is helping Saphi with her boot. Look how Josiah is looking down at his baby sister to make sure she's okay. Look at how my husband holds me in his arm like I am a prize to never let go of. <br />
<br />
Do we beat ourselves up that life isn't perfect? It never will be. <br />
Do we wish we had more time to get one more accomplishment done? There will always be more. <br />
Do we look at what we have and realize the blessing right infront of us? Not enough.<br />
Blessings are all around. Don't let time and busy lives cause your eyes to not see what is truly surrounding you. If you can't see it, step back for only a moment. Blink a couple times and just watch and listen. This is your life. Hold onto it. Mold it, shape it, transform it if it needs to be changed, but handle it like it's the best gift in the world, and then all that other stuff that gets you down and frustrated, just let it go. <br />
<br />
Oh that we could live the picture perfect way that we had envisioned when we started having children. Boy, 6 is a different story than the cute little baby we started out with. :) The rewards can be grand if we allow them to be. The blessings beyond the children themselves can be remarkable if we are guiding them and not just being busy about our own tasks. These children are work, but with a little instruction, guidance, and perhaps discipline at times, they sure can brighten my day and make me realize what's right infront of me that I can so easily miss. Children. A blessing from the Lord. And I have 6 of them! :)Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-56422746900037941532016-11-06T17:05:00.001-05:002016-11-06T17:41:22.285-05:00Mammoth Cave Kentucky- Sukkot 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the yearly vacation times we take is for the Feast of Tabernacles in the fall. Every year it looks differently for us, whether we've had a new baby or what time of year it falls on to know whether we want to go south. :) We usually camp and hopefully with friends.</div>

This year we planned to go to Nolin Lake State Park which is not far from Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. It was such beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and such a relaxed and restful time. There are a lot of pictures mostly for my children to look back on, but the memories of these trips will forever be in our minds. It's my prayer that our Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) trips will be a time that my children grow and want to share with their own children. </div>

One thing we enjoy doing for all those who camp with us is to provide the veggies from our garden to go with meat that the others bring to cook over the fire like a hobo dinner. It's always so delicious with all the helping hands cutting and preparing the meal for everyone. <br />

Also, on this day we sent the children on a nature Scavenger Hunt. They had to find all sorts of items and place in a brown paper bag. We talked first about David and how he fought Goliath with stones. As we let God tabernacle with us, we can fight our battles with whatever He gives us. We talked about how life is a battle. We need to trust that God will give us what we need to fight each battle we face. <br />
<br />
After they collected their nature items they had to use those items to create a soldier with all the pieces of armor talked about in Ephesians. It was really fun for them and they came up with some create soldiers. <br />

It's hard to tell what it is, but there is an eagle right in the center of the picture that we watched swoop down the catch fish in the water. Sadie and I were both so excited to see it while we sat there enjoying the moment. It definitely added to our time of relaxation. </div>

Later in the afternoon after everyone played around and went on their own adventures, we set up an obstacle course for the children. Continueing our lessons of fighting battles as one of God's soldiers, we wanted to encourage them that their parents were given to them to help them through their battles too. <br />
So, we had the children go through the course by themselves while we times them, then we had a parent go through it with them to see if their time changed. Every one of the children's times increased by a great deal, which helped them see that their parents can help the trials and battles be easier to go through. They can get through the battles faster and much easier in some cases if they just listen to their parents instruction along the way. Some parents actually physically helped the children go faster while others simply gave encouragin words while running along with them. Either case, the time was always faster and proved to be helpful. <br />

Jonathon got up and took the 3 older girls horse back riding, while some of our other friends went geocaching and took Benaiah with them. Josiah, Hadassah, and I stayed at camp and sat around and took the dog down to the water to play. It was such a relaxing time, but we were glad when everyone was back to play with. </div>

From our campsite we could see through the trees to where the children played 4 square. It was just far enough for them to bike to and feel out of camp, but not so far that we couldn't see them or get them quickly when meals were ready.</div>

The children had a fun time doing the Junior Ranger program at the park. They started it before our tour, then when we finished our tour we went and had our picnic lunch while the children finished up their books. They all went back and turned their books in together, which was a fun memory for them all. Some of my children said that the favorite part of the trip was doing the program. <br />

We decided to head back to Mammoth Cave Park to do some hiking there. We wanted to see the orginal cave entrance, which wasn't a very long hike then we headed to another area and hiked some more to see some springs and other natural wonders. </div>

To get to the park we had to cross this ferry that took our vehicle over the river to the other side. We had never done this before, so it was a fun experience for all of us. Titus was a little nervous about it though. </div>

We ended out the week with not so many pictures as we were just having fun around the campground. Some of our group left early, so we really didn't do much....oh, wait a minute. We did play capture the flag. The chilren played at night, then we played children against adults during the day, then the children and a couple adults played at night again. I talked with the children about when we go through battles we have to be strong enough to stand firm in what we believe and help our friends who need rescued too. Sometimes it's hard when you're trying to rescue a friend in Capture the Flag to not get caught yourself, so we talked about how it's important to not let the enemy draw them into temptations to where they are also captured. And we talked about what kinds of things can they do to help their friends without getting in the middle of the battle. Prayer is talked about at the end of the portion in the Bible that covers all of the armor of God. For some reason it never seems to get mentioned as part of the armor, though I believe that it is a very important part of the armor and what helps us get through our battles. <br />
<br />
Too bad there are no pictures of the game because it was a memory to go down in history! Children running all over. Adults running all over. Good thing that happened on Sunday when most of the other campers were gone, because we were loud and rowdy that day. :)<br />
<br />
We bless the Lord for giving us His feasts to observe. They always cause us to reflect on Him and cause special memories with our children that promote growth in their faith. As some of our children are getting older we see that what we teach them is changing and becoming more on life's choices and situations. We pray that we are leading and guiding them in a way that will help life be easier for them to get through with a record of not getting captured and being able to help those who are in need of being rescued. That's our goal in teaching and bringing up these children in faith. That they may reach the lost and help those without hope. And as we all allow God to tabernacle with us, we'll be able to answer that call and live out a way that will be a light to others.Bovee Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16985913732326974854noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433491041217028974.post-66034752661908522072016-10-11T17:26:00.001-04:002016-10-11T17:28:12.411-04:00Feast of Trumpets 2016- Blessed Baptism too<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a beautiful Feast of Trumpets this year. The fellowship that we celebrate with usually hosts a Mikvah/Baptism at a lake nearby before all the fun and festivities take place at their house later in the evening. This year we were blessed to have walked Benaiah through praying and declaring he wanted to follow Yeshua/Jesus. He did that the day before the feast, so he quickly made the decision without our prompting to be baptized to declare his decision. It brings joy to our hearts as our children choose to walk in Truth and live by faith. </div>

And then our Benaiah. Sometimes a mikvah is done as a way to wash clean of past failures, sins, or habits. Other times it is done as a way of proclaiming for the first time that you want to walk with and follow Jesus in your life. That was the statement from Benaiah as he approached the water. <br />

We don't do things traditionally if you haven't noticed by now. When the older girls decided to get baptized we read up on it and how it was done in Bible times. We aren't real sure that some person baptizes (or puts them under the water) but that the person making the declaration does it him/herself while a witness stands by to watch. Jonathon played the part of the witness and simply watched as Benaiah chose to go under the cold waters himself to be washed clean of his sinful past. Does it mean he won't ever sin again? No, we all fail at times and continuously need a Saviour, but it's a first step to becoming a new person in Christ and making better decisions daily. <br />

We usually have pictures of all the other fun activities that we participate in after the mikvah service, but I think we were all just relishing in the moment of Benaiah's choice. On the way home we asked what everyone's favorite part of the evening was. Benaiah's answer without hesitation was, "Getting baptized". YES! That was mine too!!!<br />
