Car talk...

2009-05-25T15:41:00.003-05:00

Christian: Auntie Lynn, what would happen if a wok tocked?

Me: Hmm, I suppose I would know when dinner was done!

C: But what if a wok talked?

Me: Well, it might say, feed me, I'm hungry.

C: No, I mean a Rock

Me: OH!!! If a Rock Talked! (I was a little distracted by driving)

C: Yeah!

Rebekah: Maybe our family should speak Spanish

C: Ola

Abby: How do you say grill in Spanish?

Daniel: Well GIRL is chica, and boy is chico

C: My cheek can say 'oh'

April showers....

2009-04-30T09:45:00.003-05:00

Yeah, it's been pouring cats and dogs around here lately... lots of rain = lots of people with wet basements, and some with more than just water... yuck!

It seems like April's been a tough month - you know what they say - when it rains, it pours! I'm sure you can think of a few struggles that you've seen some of your friends, maybe yourself, going through... maybe it's 'water' related... flooding banks, basements (or waiting for your water to break :) ) ... or maybe it's the tears that have flowed for other reasons...

But, don't be discouraged!!! April showers bring May flowers... and not just in children's rhymes!

Psalm 84:5-7a

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca (weeping),
They make is a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools (blessings).
They go from strength to strength.

Isn't it just beautiful? It doesn't need my commentary - the Lord said it perfectly!

So, my friends, cling to His Word today... and be encouraged that those flowers are sure to come after the rain!!!

"There shall be showers of blessing:"
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.

Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops 'round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

Check it out...

My adorable niece Gracie made the newspaper - how fun!

http://www.wellandtribune.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1517794

I love you guys and miss you bunches!!!

a little scary...

2009-04-04T19:53:00.006-05:00

We are moving and considering not taking our dog with us... this has been tough for the kids and hubby, but I seriously did not expect to hear this conversation...

Rebekah: Dad, I'm sad that we can't keep Aggie.

Dad: I know, I am too.

R: Well, I have it all figured out. We can just stuff her and take her with us.

D: Rebekah! That would mean she'd be dead!

R: I know, but that way we could still pet her every morning! I think that's way better than
just giving her away!

Aaaaaaahhhhh....

2009-04-02T12:22:00.003-05:00

...the perfect, warm, easy, yummy-in-my-tummy crock-pot soup for a cold, snowy day!

3/4 cup frozen cut green beans
2/3 cup frozen corn
1 1/2 lb. meat (I sometimes use stew meat, sometimes ground turkey)
1 large chopped onion
2/3 cup uncooked barley
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cans beef broth
2 cans diced tomato (with roasted garlic, or add your own)
1 can (8oz.) tomato sauce

Right now, thanks to Rex and kids club, barley is a big hit at our house... so this old well-loved recipe has become much requested again :)

2009-03-16T13:37:00.001-05:00

We are on our first official road trip of the year! I was hoping I could blog photos from my phone, but it doesn't look like I can work it out....

So far, so good... We played the mile game today - traveling through western Kansas we saw grain bins and water towers over 9 miles away. We are getting really good at guessing long distances. The winner gets to choose the next object to guess... I won the last round, so that means I get big slobbery kisses on both cheeks at the Colby rest area. Oh, I just can't wait!!!

We are also embellishing Scott's recently renewed love of classical music and are currently listening to Mozart. We may listen to Pilgrim's Progress soon- we are halfway through... And we brought along our old faithful Chronicles of Narnia on CD. No more movies - our player broke this past year - I am truly hoping we make it well without it. I really don't care to have to play the abc game or 'I'm going on a trip' more than once or twice :).

Okay - here are our top reasons we love to travel together as a family...

scenery is beautiful
Pretzel pieces
Collecting ball caps
Playing 'how far away is it'
Talking together for hours
Going skiing
More than 1/2 hour of DS
Catch up on phone calls
Quizzing state facts
Baskin Robbins for lunch!
Spring break
Catching up on crafts
Get to see amazing things and beautiful places

If you think of us this week, pray for us. Yes, we are having fun, but we are also sharing the Lord. Last year 2 girls got saved on this trip! The youth look forward to this all year, and one of the reasons is the relationships we have built. They love Scott (of course) and really listen to him!

"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of them who bring good news" (haha - that's our verse for the week. Maybe we'll take a pic of our feet at the continental divide!)

Happy Spring break!!!

When you homeschool...

2009-02-13T11:12:00.002-06:00

and you have had an extremely busy week and your 3rd grader has been reading history all alone.... it is essential that you review together on Friday to make sure she has been learning what she was supposed to.... lest you have a conversation like this....

Who captured Squanto to sell him as a slave? Okay, I know this isn't right, but since I don't know I'm going to guess.... Potiphar???

Who offered Squanto a home in America? Hmmm... I don't remember
I'll give you a hint..... Chief... Chief Yahoo! Oh, wait, no, it's chief mascot!
That would be pronounced Chief Massasoit.

What did Squanto teach the pilgrims to do with the trees? swing from the vines
Yes, but what did they get out of the trees? Pop?

.... because it's just not enough to know how to grind corn and make a great stew like the indians of the prairie!

Pantry clean-out!

2009-02-12T20:20:00.003-06:00

Thanks to http://motivatedmoms.com today I was supposed to clean out my pantry. Well, little did I know what I was in for! Here is what I accomplished - just one shelf!!!

And here are all the things I had crammed into that one shelf!
Among other things, 7 packs of Tuna and one unmarked bag of some sort of white powder. Beats me what it is! Pancake mix, biscuit mix???

And the list I made - and plan to use for my next menus as long as it all lasts!!!

I can't wait to see what I find tomorrow when I finish the lower shelves - the backs of which I haven't seen in a long, long time =)

false doctrine???

2009-02-06T18:40:00.003-06:00

I made butter chicken for dinner, with rice and chapatis. We love Indian dishes that we can eat with our hands.

However, the butter chicken was a little bit too spicy for Rebekah! She took a bite and jumped from her chair for her water, knocking it over... all over the table =) I grabbed a rag and told her not to worry about it - sorry it was too spicy for her (trying to hide my laughter at her overreaction).

So, she ate rice - which is just about her dream meal!

Then she decided it was not quite enough for her little belly.

"Can I have some yogurt? That way I'll have some protein too!"

'Really, yogurt is protein?' asks an obviously ignorant mother.

"Well, of course mom. What, did you think my health book is teaching me false doctrine?"

Kidspeak!

2009-02-03T10:21:00.003-06:00

This morning Rebekah knocks on Nana's door.

Nana: "Come on in pumpkin. Or maybe I should call you half-pint. That's what I called your mom when she was a little girl. She was my little half-pint."

Rebekah: "Except now she's a whole pint!"

The Indian Song

2009-01-26T07:59:00.002-06:00

A couple of weeks ago, Daniel's piano teacher pulled me aside...

"I have to warn you that I have assigned the Indian Song this week. I'm SO sorry."

You see, apparently boys REALLY like to play this catchy, rhythmic, obnoxious tune OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!

We discovered - yup, it's true!

I had heard this tune SO many times that week, I was so happy when Monday rolled around again - I knew FOR SURE he would pass the song and move on... I mean, I heard it SO many times and I knew without a doubt that he knew it PERFECTLY!!!

So, this week, Daniel is practicing away at the circus song (which, believe me, is NOT much better!) He stops after awhile and says, "Mom, do think that's enough?" "Oh, I think so," I reply! (thankful it is over with)

"Sweet!" he says. "Now I can play the Indian Song!!!"

I would be remiss here not to tell you that although I hated listening to this song over and over and over again; there was something that was drawing me in... and while the kids played outside I thought I'd sit down and try it... in secret of course. Oh, but it WAS fun - and I finally gave in and played it while they were INSIDE - and we discovered that you can do a marvelous duet with the Indian Song, a mom, and a 10 year old boy =)

..."giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light." Colossians 1:12

I spent a lot of time my high school years, training to qualify for regionals, for state... I worked hard to compete, to be the fastest, to win the race! It took sweat, it took tears, it took determination. It was so satisfying to win - so amazing to cross that finish line first and to see all the hard work pay off!

Sometimes I work SO hard in my life to win the race... and rightfully so. Paul tells us to run the race as if to get the prize! But this verse reminds me that on my own merit I did not even qualify to be in the race! No matter how hard I trained, how hard I pushed, how many tears and how much determination - I didn't even meet the basic requirements!

"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumsision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." Colossians 2:13,14

The requirements in place were contrary to my nature - I could never make it on my own merit! The Father took it out of the way - nailed it to the cross - and when I came to the cross I was qualified - by His Son's merit - to run the race!!!

Not only am I going to run the race - I get to win the prize!!! He 'qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.' And what is that inheritance? Ephesians 1:11 says, 'in whom we also have obtained an inheritance,' also translated, 'we were made His inheritance.' Both ideas are true - we are His inheritance, and He is ours! Among and above other things, He is my inheritance! He is the inheritance of ALL those who have come to the cross!

'qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light'

I have always loved pictures of the sunrise! This one I took on a lake in Georgia. We were out fishing early and it was so calm and peaceful; it was breathtaking, really. I think one of the reasons I love light so much is that I hate darkness. Even as an adult I have to admit - I am afraid of the dark!

And so, I really love to think about the fact that Christ is the true Light;

that God commanded the light to shine out of darkness;

that His light has shone in our hearts;

that we are commanded to walk as children of light!

I Peter 2:9 is a favorite verse of mine, especially Steve Green Hide 'em in Your Heart style =)

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"

So, how about you? Have you come to the cross; are you qualified to run the race; will you claim your inheritance? If so - take the opportunity today to give thanks to the Father who qualified YOU and proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light!!!

Tender Mercies

2009-01-17T16:37:00.002-06:00

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies. Colossians 3:12

This year we are reading through the Bible as a family. Since we are doing that all together, I decided that on my own I would really try to do more in-depth personal study. I am currently working on Colossians - reading it over and over and over. It amazes me how each day something new will pop out at me - there is so much for me to learn and apply! Currently, this is the phrase that I am looking at

... therefore...put on tender mercies...

As far as I can tell, the therefore refers back to vv. 1-4 (I am not allowing myself to use commentaries :) ) Why should I put on tender mercies? Because
1- I have been raised with Christ
2- I have died and my life is hid with Christ in God
3- someday, I will appear with Him in glory

therefore! My response (for one) is to put on tender mercies!

I would eventually like to look up the specific meaning of this, but for now, these verses of the example of Christ have really been impressed upon me...

First, in Luke 1, when Zecharias is prophesying about John the Baptist preparing the way of the Lord, when he says, "for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on High has visited us."

It is through our God's tender mercy that the Messiah came to forgive sins!!!

Second, Lamentations 3:22,23 "through the Lord's mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning."

It is the Lord's mercy that gives me each day! And His mercies are new to me each day! Oh, how I need that!

So, I am to imitate Christ and put on tender mercies. Not just be merciful - but do it in a gentle way like our Saviour is so gentle with us. That has been a huge task for me! I think the first thing the enemy attacks when my husband is on the road is me! He knows my patience wears thin - the kids test more when their daddy is gone - and I am not very good at being merciful. Oh, but when I do find it in myself to be merciful - it rarely ever comes with tenderness!

Maybe this is why my Father is giving me this verse to focus on. Maybe, just maybe He is wanting me to grow up in this area to become more like His Son!

there's a wideness in God's mercy

like the wideness of the sea

there's a kindness in His justice

which is more than liberty

Rejoice in today!

2009-01-07T12:36:00.002-06:00

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

The kids and I were reading this today, along with a devotion on some of the different days God made - each unique in its own way: the day of creation, the day of the incarnation, the day of redemption, etc... There are many wonderful days to come as well - the day of rapture, the day of His appearing, the day of judgment...

I started to dwell on the day that God created, knowing it would be the day of incredible suffering for Him as He watched His only Son go to the cross! It is beyond my comprehension what it cost Him, the suffering He endured... yet He willingly allowed it, and Christ willingly obeyed. In fact, the scripture says that knowing what lay ahead of Him, He set His face steadfastly to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51)

What about my day, your day? Can we follow the example of the Lord today and press forward, no matter what it may hold? Not each of the Lord's days were the same as that one - but each had the same meaning - looking forward to the cross! Wow - it reminds me of what I live for today - to bring glory to Him; to prepare for the day when I meet my Saviour face to face; to tarry and sow while I sojourn here on earth...

There was a day in history - and it played out exactly as He said it would - the day that Christ rose from the grave! It is the day that gives purpose to my life, that makes that day that He endured at Golgotha a triumphant one!!! A day that makes me understand how each day we can say, "This is the day that the Lord hath made - let us rejoice and be glad in it!"

On Sunday we sang a song that tells the story of that day, and the days to come - and how we are to respond to it! Don't be afraid to belt it out!!! ;)

Rejoice and be glad! The Redeemer has come!

Go look on His cradle, His cross and His tomb.

Sound His praises! Tell the story, of Him who was slain!

Sound His praises! Tell with gladness, He liveth again!

Rejoice and be glad! Now the pardon is free!

The just for the unjust has died on the tree!

Sound His praises! Tell the story of Him who was slain!

Sound His praises! Tell with gladness, He liveth again!

Rejoice and be glad! For the Lamb that was slain

O'er death is triumphant, and liveth again!

Sound His praises! Tell the story of Him who was slain!

Sound His praises! Tell with gladness, He liveth again!

Rejoice and be glad! For our Lord is on high:

He pleadeth for us on His throne in the sky!

Sound His praises! Tell the story of Him who was slain!

Sound His praises! Tell with gladness, He liveth again!

Rejoice and be glad! For He cometh again!

He cometh in glory - the Lamb that was slain!

SOUND HIS PRAISES - TELL THE STORY

OF HIM WHO WAS SLAIN!

SOUND HIS PRAISES - TELL WITH GLADNESS

HE LIVETH AGAIN!

2009- Here I come!

2009-01-03T10:47:00.004-06:00

I would have to say that my life is an adventure... I married a man full of ideas, and I knew when I married him that I would have to be flexible - VERY flexible!!! I really never know what day to day is going to bring! I laugh that I actually carry a schedule, because a lot of times what I have written in gets changed - I have, at least, learned to write in it in PENCIL!!!

In the midst of the craziness, I have a few things that never change, and that is indispensible to me. I don't make big goals - 'I have to do this by such and such a date' , because it would be foolish - I'd almost be sure to be setting myself up for disappointment and failure.

But the truth is, I have always operated this way! And that's one thing that makes us such a good team! And I'm thankful for the Lord preparing me ahead of time for the life He was going to place me in.

Maybe that's why I've never been big on New Year's Resolutions. I mean, really, it just wouldn't work well for me... but the Lord gave me this back in 1993, and it has been what I have returned to each year. It perfectly fits everything that I would want to continue to grow in , and also I'm thankful to be able to look back and see how God has worked in me since then. So, you may remember from last year, but this is it...

May the mind of Christ, my Saviour

Live in me from day to day

By His love and power controlling

all I do and say

May the Word of God dwell richly

In my heart from hour to hour

So that all may see I triumph

only through His power

May the peace of God, my Father

Rule my life in everything

that I may be calm to comfort

sick and sorrowing

May the love of Jesus fill me

as the waters fill the sea

Him exalting, self-abasing

this is victory!

May I run the race before me

strong and brave to face the foe

Looking only unto Jesus

as I onward go

May His beauty rest upon me

as I seek the lost to win

And may they forget the channel

seeing only Him!

Happy 2009! I pray that all of you will grow in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord this year! His riches are endless, His goodness to you unfailing - if you know Him as your Saviour today - this year can only be better than the last, because every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before!!!

arg, happy birthday me love

2008-12-12T15:52:00.002-06:00

Some people make jokes about mother-in-laws... not at our house! I have been so incredibly blessed to call this lady my mom for the past 12+ years... Jackie is not only a godly grandma, but one cool lady too. If you need proof - just check out these photos!

Indulging Rebekah and trying on hats in Williamsburg!

Cramming in the back for our trip to Virginia, grandma reads us books, passes out healthy snacks and never complains!

Her grandchildren know that they are loved!!!

Stop on over at today www.encouragementfromabove.blogspot.com and wish Jackie a very happy birthday!!!

Out with the old...in with the new!

2008-12-03T10:48:00.005-06:00

Today was a momentous occasion at the DeGroff house! We said goodbye to our old oven! There was not even a hint of sadness as we watched it go!!!

Our oven was so old we had seen it in antique stores and there were parts we could no longer replace!

The story is amazing, really! We've needed an oven for a long time. I have had numerous fires, almost everything burns because of the uneven temperatures, and I have more recently been without the ability to broil, which has been very sad, since we love nachos and frittatas! Anyhow, a friend called from shopping at Sears the other day and had found this oven in the clearance room. It was originally a floor model, priced at $1250. They had taken it off the floor and had it in this tiny little clearance room I didn't even know existed! It had sat there for months, being marked down to $950, then to $450, and now to $250! So, basically, we got a $1250 oven for $250 - never heard of the brand, but I figured, if it originally cost that much, then it's got to be better than we had! And it comes with Sears full warranty. So, we thought it was worth taking a chance. But then, after already having bought it - we were telling some friends about it - and discovered it is a top of the line oven! Isn't that just like the Lord??? :) What a blessing!!!

Meet our new Jenn-air!

Here are some of the things I am really excited about!!!

1. no fires!
2. even temperatures!
3. it has a timer!
4. it has a clock!
5. it is self-cleaning!
6. it actually tells me when it is pre-heated!
7. I can set it and leave it!
8. it is beautiful!
9. all of the buttons on it work!
10. I can program favorite settings - like for bread and cookies!!!

oh, and did I mention that I can use it in English, French or Spanish, fahrenheit or celsius, even true Sabbath Mode, whatever that is!! (maybe it means I can put food it in on Sundays and come home and it will be ready - imagine that) I think this may be life-changing for me, and maybe I will be able to put batteries back in my smoke alarms - I suppose that could be a good thing :)

Love Rekindled!

2008-12-01T16:11:00.007-06:00

The course of true love never did run smooth - one of my true loves throughout middle school and high school I simply pushed by the wayside. I forgot the meaning of it to me. I was recently reminded, and oh how wonderful it was to rekindle the memories and the passion!

Thou art such stuff as dreams are made of,
and the dreams dreamed on my pillow now smell right again.
Thou are more fair than all others - yea,
the beauty you bring me,
the sweetness you inspire,
the wonders of meeting you daily...

Though this be madness, yet there is method in it

To me, fair friend, you can never be old. For as you were when first your smell I smelled, such seems your beauty still.

To Aussie or not to Aussie, now that is the question for you

2008-11-28T15:36:00.004-06:00

As I was tucking my kiddos in bed on Weds. night, I said to them (individually), "You know that I am thankful for you?" Rebekah's response was, "Well, yeah. I mean, do you think that I thought you were lying the past 8 years. I mean, you tell me that ALL THE TIME!!!" Daniel's response was, " I know, I think you tell me that just about every day!"

Anyhow, it just cracked me up! I am so glad my kids know without a doubt how much I love them and their father, and how thankful I am for them every day!

I forgot my camera at Thanksgiving, but we had a great time at Anne and Micah's. It was a day that was very honoring to the Lord. We carried on our family tradition of making a Thanksgiving tree - and people had much to be thankful for... from growing through sickness and trials, to rejoicing in abundance; for family and friends and a God who is all-knowing and all-sufficient! There were 30 of us - some family, some friends, but all with a common bond. We prayed and sang hymns and ate LOTS of food - including Hope's 'sweet potato goodness' which has been demanded by all since the year she gave me the recipe! It even made the thanksgiving tree!!!

I hope you are all rejoicing today in the Lord!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 1:17

Cleveland Zoo/Summer Fun

2008-11-25T20:19:00.006-06:00

One of our weeks between camps this year landed us in Cleveland. While we were there we made it to the Metroparks Zoo. Here are some of our highlights!

Daniel took this shot of the snow leopards - it is one of my favorites!

And here's the oldest animal we saw!

The Cleveland Zoo had a great touch pool. It had lots of stingray and a few sharks.

There were animals everywhere!!!

If you look closely you can see my mom's teeth are blue. I think she was eating cotton candy, which was the treat we always bought at zoos and ball games. Now I realize it was more for her than for us!

They also had camel rides!!!

Daniel was trying to make Rebekah wave, but I think she was scared to let go!

There was a really fun building where you could buy nectar and feed these fun birds - Lorikeets.

This one was very smart and got the cup away from Rebekah :)

Underwater friends... these are always my favorite (besides the penguins with the big eyebrows!)

Yes, there is a fish here

Family photo op.... and just for the record, I think my shorts are hideous, but I was desperate for shorts this summer (had 2 pairs), and these were $2.49 at Target. For that price, I will wear them every week!!

pretty flowers at the zoo

2008-11-20T21:50:00.002-06:00

I know I told you all that I'd be posting about our summer adventures. Well, this isn't the first time I have confessed slacking off on my blogging, and I'm sure it won't be the last! Well, tonight, however, I have my computer back up and running (YEAH!), my kids and their cousins are snuggled warm and sleeping in bed, and my hubby is on a conference call. This is actually the end of the summer (really about 2 weeks after we should have been home starting school already - but one of the benefits of traveling camps out East is that you get a longer summer!!!) After our very last week on the road - week #10 - we drove home through Chicago. Now, those of you who know me... if there was one thing that I would do in Chicago, what would it be???

It was SO SWEET!!! I can't tell you how excited I was to hear that the Cubs were playing at home that night! Wrigley Field was amazing!

The next day we had to take the kids to experience their first Giordano's! It was especially good because it was super rainy and cold!

We tried to go up the Sears Tower, but it was closed - too cloudy. So, we drove to the Navy Pier, but it just wasn't going to let up! We decided just to head for home, but we had one stop to make. :) Can anyone guess why Daniel named his bear Sammy? :)

the right supplies...

2008-11-04T08:03:00.004-06:00

"Mama, what are we going to do if Obama makes president?"

"Well, we'll pray for him!"

"But mama, how can he lead a country without the right supplies, like Jesus Christ!"
