Home(in Kansas)schooling.... Oh How I Love The

Let me count the ways

Number 1:

Seeing that beautiful face all day long.

Number 2:

Seeing this adorable/Ornery face all day long

Number 3:

I finally feel like I am doing what God

called me to do a long time ago.  This

is working well for the Northrop Fam!

Number 4:

I get to be at my BFF's Christie Haigh

house learning how to do it by watching

her wonderful style.  Did I mention she 

acquired all of our materials, and we are 

staying with her family for a few weeks while
we are home in KC raising support?

The blessing of this all is almost too much!

Thank You Lord for teaching me to free 

Receive! 

WE REALLY ARE IN MINISTRY?

Adjusting to the idea that we are missionaries is

interesting to say the least!  Sometimes I am on a

major high. Like today, when we dropped by a

few churches, one was a popular denomination that

had a hurting receptionist talk with us. God clearly

told me to pray for for her so I did.  It felt so good

to obey Him and reach out right here in small town America.

Like tonight, at our old church in

Baldwin City where we spoke for a few minutes

to the congregation (totally unexpectedly).  They

received us WELL, and we all came back to

the Haigh house like it were our own house( that's

how welcome they make us feel.)  Nice, right?   We

gave out a lot of info, and chatted for ever bragging

on God.  A good night of connecting with friends

about the work God has for us.

So then there was this morning, where Dusty my...

for 10 years as a Sysco Man, woke up every

morning at 5am to start his day, got up at 8:30am.

I fed the girls breakfast, was well into schooling them

and then he rolled on the stairs!  What?  Weird!!

Threw me off and I had this strange feeling as if we

were running a chain type business, where people well,

like Mary Kay, have a party and get these cool rewards

type of thing.  (I can say that because I used to do that!) 

You get my point?  I am feeling a bit like a fish out of

water at times.  I think it's okay though, beings we did

just sell everything we owned less than a year ago,

and we have been staying with friends and so on.  Ahhh,

Father help me!  Lol.
