Thank you for stopping by my little corner on the World Wide Web. I started this blog as a learning tool and as a place to journal about my life. I hope, however, that you will find something of interest while you’re here.
I’m a Christian first, wife second, and homeschooling mom third, so I will be writing from these viewpoints. However, you might find just about anything discussed here - tips for dealing with the frustrations of raising kids, how to use writing as a means to help with finances, the latests political news. You name it, you’ll probably find it here at one point or another. I’ll also have guest writers from time to time, just so you don’t get bored reading my ramblings.
Hi, I’m Naomi. I’m a Christian wife to my sweetie TJ for 21 years, stay-at-home/homeschooling mom of two miracles sons, DST almost 10 and MB 6. I’ve been a Christian since I was about 11 years old, and am just NOW beginning to understand just how much it is that God loves me. A friend of mine told me a couple of months ago, “God loves you very much, you ARE His favorite daughter.” So, that’s the reason for the title of my blog. You know, it’s funny, I know that my earthly Dad loves me, but I had to be told that my Heavenly Dad loves me more than once before it would sink in. Thankfully, it has begun to sink in.
You’ll notice the pearls in the background of the header. There’s a story behind those, too. 
Since I homeschool, I try to learn from others who have been homeschooling longer than I. So, I attended Cindy Rushton’s Ultimate Homeschool Expo. It was such a blessing, on more than one level. The speakers she had and the knowledge they imparted were priceless.
I had been praying and crying out to God about not feeling like He was there, or that He cared about what I was going through. I finally asked Him to show me in some way that He was there and that He loved me. Well, one of the “seminars” the speaker was giving a door prize and I won. What I won was a pink pearl necklace and pair of earrings, and so each time I wear them, it reminds me that yes, God DOES love me and He knows exactly what I’m going through. I guess I shouldn’t have doubted it, I am His Favorite daughter, after all.
I know what you mean about having to be told that our Heavenly father loves us. I grew up where I was never accepted for anything (I was too ‘fat’ to fit in with my family, I never measured up to my dads expectations, all the relationships I’ve had with men were because I was looking for love and acceptance - except I never found it.) so even though I’ve been a Christian since 2001 it’s taken me up until about a year ago to really embrace the fact that God loves me UNCONDITONALLY! He doesn’t care about my past, in fact He knew what my life was going to be like before I even did any of the things I did in my past. Now that I’ve embraced His love I’ve finally learned that I don’t need a ‘man’ (or human) to make me feel accepted and loved, because they can’t ever fulfill me like God does anyways.
The story about the pearl earrings and necklace gave me chills! Isn’t God just so amazing? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Tishia, for stopping by and leaving a comment.
I hope that you will continue in your own path toward your “TRUE” Love. I’m sure that He’ll never let you down, like we mere humans tend to do. God bless!
