Intoduction for blog party

My name is Michelle and I am married to a wonderful, Godly man whom I love more and more every day! We have nine children here on earth and five wee ones in heaven. We have homeschooled for about 13 years.

I love Jesus Christ more than anything. I love serving Him, worshipping Him, spending time with Him, writing to Him and about Him. He colors every aspect of my life. I love to share what I feel He has shown me, or is showing me to encourage others.

Check out Twenty-five random things about me.

I want to express right away that I am not that "all together" woman that some of us women think exists! She doesn't exist, in case you still thought she did!

I have learned a lot and am still learning a lot in the areas of motherhood, being a Godly wife and a keeper of the home.

I love to share my heart through writing. My original purpose for this blog is for it to be a journal or manual for my daughters. I purposefully have few and distinct 'labels' for each post with the hope that one day they can print up each 'label' as a chapter in a beautiful book from their Mama's heart.

I also have a passion to encourage other women in the heart of Titus 2.

I believe with all my heart that Christian married women with children are to love their husbands, love their children and be keepers at home. I also believe that in a world that slams this calling, I want to be a light and beacon of hope.

I want to elevate the wisdom of God in this beautiful calling of womanhood and all that it includes. I understand we all come from different backgrounds and even cultures. I just want to share my little take on what I believe God has called me too.

I have been greatly influenced by the practices outlined in the book Nourishing Traditions. I strive to learn new (or old) ways to nourish my family as healthfully as I can.

I am interested in all things homemaking; homesteading, gardening (though I hate weeding in the heat), canning and preserving, baking, cooking, cleaning, organizing ect. I don't claim to have mastered any or all of these, but I love attempting them.

I felt the Lord's leading on the title of this blog. I actually had another name chosen, but it didn't quite sit right. "She Looketh Well" kept coming to my mind, and finally I saw the beauty of that title. It expresses my heart to truly 'look well' to the very things the Lord has entrusted to me; my relationship to my husband, my children and my home.

I pray you find hope and encouragement in this little blog. Grab a cup of tea or a latte ;-) and come along on this journey as we learn to "Looketh Well" to the ways of our households!
