It's a new thing, Hearts that are at home and not saturated in the world around them. Well not really new! But today in this culture, we have lost all sense of a biblical pattern in our homes. Even Christians! Inch by inch, we have suffered the lack of true bible based living. It starts with small, subtle decisions and before we know it, (or don't know it) we are so far gone, that we don't know how to get back. The scary part is, some don't even know they are living a luke-warm life. It has become the norm! (I'm one that used to be in that category!)
There is a big calling by God to bring families back to where we need to be. Well, actually, it's always been His plan to have it His way. But somewhere down the line between feminism and mega churches, we have gotten lost! But He is calling us back to live our lives totally surrendered, with NO compromise, to Christ in every area! Income, children, marriage, schooling, churching, and just plain living! No more compromise! No more just coasting through and being desensitized to the truth! Easy? NO! Where do we start? The one true thing there is left in this world, the BIBLE! What a great joy to see families surrendering their lives and making a decision to go the opposite direction of the culture and seek their heavenly Father's face!
We took part, this past Labor Day, in a beautiful display of people desiring to bring families back to truth! Hundreds of people took part! The Bates family, from Knoxville, Tennesee (friends of the Duggar family), were the guest speakers. We had hayrides, looked at cattle (we are city folk so that is an amazing thing for 7 boys!), played games, ate, and learned more about how to seek God in a world that is lost and how to bring others to this joyful way of living, family style! A life surrendered to the living God and living it out so other's see His glory! How cool is that!

Cooler than 2 city boys watching the cows do what ever they do!
Cooler than even playing football with over a hundred kids!
And believe it or not, cooler than The Bates Family with their 18 children :)
This is my little guy on the hay ride
Hangin' out on the fence watching the cows get milked
(remember, we are city people! Not sure if that is the correct wording!)
we got to touch home-grown gourds
And can't forget this sweet little thing to remind us what family is all about!
Please make sure you are Turning YOUR hearts towards Home! God will do amazing things when you step out in faith and trust Him!
