Keeping the home fires burning. Hi there! My name is Alyssa and welcome to the �Pines�!

Thoughts on faith, family, homemaking, homesteading, and stewarding the life and land God has provided. I am a Christian wife and mother living in Wisconsin�. I recently turned in my badge �for an apron and I can’t wait to share this new adventure with you. I am learning homemaking skills �, gardening �, beekeeping � and raising �. Thanks for coming a long on this journey!

The Bible tells us to be bold in our faith and to be Christ like. Nothing can stop God’s plan, and He wins.

So any earthly rejection or pushback is expected. So be obedient to His word and serve your God with all your heart.

“Mama got me!“ my 2 yr old said laughing and giggling when I scooped him up off the stool he was standing on.

The moment his giggling words hit my ears I felt myself getting wrapped in my own hug.

A spirit filled comfort of gratitude and love that only comes from God.

I thought “Thank you for my children. Thank you for this moment. Thank you for this life. I love you.”

Our Father loves us so deeply he wants us to experience unconditional love in our own children. Just as He has for us.

So spend time with Him, talk to Him, cry to Him, seek wisdom from Him, glorify Him, repent to Him, and giggle in your security that He “got you” wrapped up in His arms.

Just some thoughts from around the home fires.

This is why your arm yourself with the Word of God.

You may not be good at memorizing but that doesn’t matter.

It will be written in your heart and the Spirit will remind you of the goodness of God.

Due to health issues, we had our house inspected for mold. A lot of people suggested it so we finally got it done.

A wedding at our house!? What does it mean to be a submissive wife? A challenge to both of us.
