My Journey to Womanhood

So I have begun to really realize just how difficult it is to take care of a family of six. My days are full to overflowing with responsibilities. I am learning so much. Just to name a few:



1. How to plan meals

2. How to keep a home neat and organized

3. How to start a home business

4. How to homeschool

5. How to garden

6. How to grow and use herbs

7. How to sew

8. Learning to love my Saviour and build good character in myself and my siblings(This is the most important)



I am nineteen years old and beginning to realize that there is so much to learn. I love every bit of it though! Sometimes it does get really difficult. But I have to tell myself that the stressful moments in my life help me to learn patience and many other character qualities I need to develop. I would like to begin to share with you my Journey through womanhood. It is quite an interesting journey and very exciting! I hope that maybe I can help other young ladies who are striving to do the same thing.

Here I Go

Please pray for me as I follow my Heavenly Fathers path for me to Oklahoma. Yep! Today is the day. I know He is going to teach me so much during my time there. I will be pushed to my limits but I know my Heavenly Saviour knows no limits. In Him all things are possible. You know doing this was not on the top of my list but it was on the top of His. And I have given my life to Him so wherever He leads me I will go. I am nervous and a bit anxious but I am reminded often by my Saviour that He does not ask me to do anything on my own not even the smallest job.


Jeremiah 29:11 Says, " For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

1Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

Joy

I am so passionatly excited about life. The Hebrew word simcha means happiness in the most full sense. The simcha inside of me is overflowing (hence the blog name). I feel this way a lot. At night when there is a lot of time to think I get excited when I think about what my Heavenly Father does and what He is going to do. I am passionate about Him. He has blessed my family and I in so many different ways. Life is not without trials and stressful days or sadness and strife but He does promise that all things work together for good to them who love Him (Romans 8:28). Even though times have been hard in the past doesn't mean I can't have simcha today and be overwhelmingly enthusiastic. I choose to be a joyful person all the days of my life. But the simcha inside me is not my own I know that it is the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) who lives inside of me.
