First of all meet my family! Jasen, my husband of eighteen years and my kids; Jaden, Adam, Leah & Evan. These are precious gifts that have been given to me for this short time, and I am so thankful.
- I am not afraid to be different, because who wants to be like everyone else?
- I am not afraid to swim against the tide, because it makes me stronger.
- I am not afraid to homeschool, because I want to cultivate their hearts and not just their minds.
- I am not afraid to be frugal, because I want more than to live paycheck to paycheck.
- I am not afraid to cook from scratch and love it, because feeding my family is more than just putting food on the table.
- I am not afraid to keep a clean and orderly home, because a home should be a sanctuary.
- I am not afraid to love my husband and serve him unselfishly, because he is an amazing man who loves and serves me right back.
- I am not afraid to shop at garage sales, thrift stores and occasionally curbside, because one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
- I am not afraid to say “no” to credit cards, because I don’t want to be any man’s debtor.
- I am not afraid to confess Jesus as my savior, because he has changed my life and guides me everyday.
- I am not afraid to hang my laundry, because it saves on energy costs.
- I am not afraid to cut coupons and shop the sales, because a penny saved is a penny earned.
- I am not afraid to drive an older vehicle, because it’s paid for.
- I am not afraid to take my kids to the playground, because it’s free.
- I’m not afraid to say “no” to Sponge Bob, because he’s an idiot.
- I am not afraid to discipline and sometimes deny my children, because I want them to be givers and not takers.
- I am not afraid to tell you the truth, because we all need a reality check from time to time.
- I am not afraid to be courageous, because courage takes guts.
