Blogger Blues

     Well, here goes nothing. I have no excuse as to why I have not blogged in a LONG time. Just too much going on in life to even open my laptop.  Any social updating I do, I usually do through my cell phone. I find that the more I accomplish in a day, the more that I find I need to do in a day. So, having said all that to say this, I am going to try my hand at blogging once again.

     Spring is nigh unto us and I am super excited to start my planting. I have tons of herbs on my list of things to plant as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini and as many other vegetables as I can put into the ground. I LOVE growing food for my family to dine on. I am going to try my hand at canning again this year. I will let you know how that goes. But, for now I must be about prepping my dirt for planting. This planting season I will be using cow manure. I have been instructed by a wise lady that this is the best method for our specific type of dirt. We have lots of sand in our dirt and have to nuture it with some good fertilizer. I look forward to planting and seeing the LORD give the increase...

     A lot of things have come to pass in the Goins household. Mostly for me trying to nuture my relationship with my Savior. Making sure I have plenty of time to read the Word of God. I have made sure that I make NO time for any other reading until I have read my bible each and EVERY day.  I can only know more about my LORD if I read HIS word and pray.  I have a husband and five wonderful children that I must encourage in the Lord. Before I can ever go out into the world and be a testimony, I must be a testimony in my own home to my husband and babies.  I do love them so, and I am so thankful to God that He has blessed me so.  So, most of my time has been about my Lord and family.  Have to have my priorities in order so that I can be a blessing to others. My hearts desire is to be a help to someone else.

     My family and I are also making some health changes. We are trying to eat different and take much better care of ourselves. This should be interesting as we have always enjoyed our food as a family and enjoyed going out to eat and snacking as pass times. So, now we figure out ways to enjoy our "HEALTHY" food and snacks as a family and get more active. Please pray for us as we go through physical changes in our life as well. I certainly can say, "I ain't gettin no younger!!!" LOL.. You get the picture. I am beginning to pay for the things I done during my school years. Joints are not as young either..I guess the phrase, I'm no spring chicken comes to mind!!!! 

     Well, I have rambled on quite a bit, but its seems I still have so much to say, so for the sake of not boring you to death I am going to close tonight. Look for more blogging soon. 

By HIS grace,
Tanya
