Swine Flu Immunizations ****BEWARE****

I can't even begin to stress this enough, DO NOT GET THIS IMMUNIZATION, Especially do not let your children get it. This "flu" was engineered by the government and the Pharma industry, I truly feel that we would be total sheep to allow them to shoot us full of God knows what, and to what end. They have lied about the origins, the death count, and the end game from the beginning of this 'flu'.

They are doing test trials at this point in the game, and part of these trials are on children in Australia, need I remind you of the death toll from m the Gardisil "vaccine". New Immunizations are deadly, it's all about $$$$$$$, big Parma is looking to get your $$$$$$ in any way that they can, scare tactics, and misinformation abound. Please do some research before you allow anyone to stick a needle into your body, and the damage that can be done to small children and babies has been in my experience irreversible and deadly!

What is inside Vaccinations? Hum lets see, aborted fetus', live virus, mercury, and with this swine flu, SWINE! Anyone who has an ear please hear. Research before you submit to a mass vaccination, research before you allow them to turn you into a sheeple.........

Please watch this 60 minute report for the late 70's, you will understand just how deadly this business is.

"Mom, Dad? Why don't you ever listen to me?"

Most parent's today believe that kid's should be seen and not heard. They think that kids do not, and should not have there own opinion. Well only those kids know how it feels.... Bad.

As someone who goes through it with some people myself, I have concluded to only nod and say"OK". But how a kid feels is worse than it looks. They feel like they are just being brushed away and put in a corner or swept under a rug. That he/she doesn't care about their opinion or what they think is right. But I know that some kids have it worse than I of course, but I'm sure no one likes it.

For example: Say that you get into a conversation with your kid, but everything that she says you just brush off, only thinking of how what she says is not what you believe to be the truth... and basically tell her that she is wrong and that she shouldn't have an opinion because she is either to young, or not worldly enough, or only spouting the opinion of the other parent, or a friend. Is it so hard to believe that a child of any age (I know that my 5 year old brother has strong opinions on what he believes) could know what they think and believe in, is it so hard to allow that child the opportunity to be heard and respected?

When you ignore or brush her/him aside, in her mind she subconsciously tells herself "This person doesn't care about what I'm saying!" and she thinks, "I'm some kind of opinion-less puppet." In the long run, that's going to mess her up as an adult. She will automatically think that no one cares what she thinks, or that everyone's opinion is wrong, and her's is the only right one. Trust me, I've seen it before. So people PLEASE, give your kids a chance, stop thinking about yourselves for a moment and you might be surprised what they have to say. We are smarter then we act sometimes, I promise.

MUST read Books!!!!

Here are a list of books that I think are important for every woman, parent or believer to read, I will give you a link to each one on Amazon, but please try e-bay, or your local library!

Complete Jewish Bible I love this version of the Bible. You get a real Hebraic feel, and can see a more accurate accounting of names and Yahweh's feasts and festivals. The only complaint I have is that the translator did not use our God's true name, he followed the Jewish tradition of not using the true name of God, I suppose it was to keep from misusing it.

Nourishing Traditions I LOVE THIS BOOK! What a blessing Sally Fallon is. This book, which is technically a cook book, has opened my eyes to a way of life and cooking that has been lost for decades. I don't like the shellfish recipes, as I eat kosher. But everything else is amazing. It will do every mom good to get this book, read it, learn it and implement it. Not everything will sound good to you, but work with the recipes and tweak them to suit you and your families taste.

Unassisted Childbirth
This author changed my life. Laura Shanley is a pioneer of the Freebirth (Unassisted Childbirth) Movement. Her book gives you no nonsense information on how to have a home birth, and why it is important. I feel that you absolutely have to read this if you are planning a home birth. Even if you are planning to have a midwife, there is always a chance that she wont make it on time, so the knowledge you glean from this book will be power for you and your family.

Created To Be His Help-Meet What an amazing eye opening read this was for me. I feel that all women should read this book, take what you like and leave the rest. You will be able to figure your man out, and understand what he needs to be happy, and then how amazing is it that you will be happy as well. My marriage was transformed by this book. Please Please Please, read this if you are married or plan to be married.

To Train Up A Child If you are having any issues with your children this book will save you. I always had a hard time figuring out what I was doing wrong with my children, I loved them a ton, I protected them from everything, and I didn't spank them. Funny how they were just about out of control. Talked back, didn't listen, fought with each other and just about drove us NUTS!

Then a friend of mine turned me on to this book, and our lives are peaceful and awesome. The number one thing that children need, BOUNDARIES! This short book will give you all the tools, that with God's help will transform your household, and create loving and respectful children.

On The Questions Of Jesus I received this book free of charge at an awesome event I attended put on by Michael Rood Ministries. The Author and his wife were at the event and she gave me this book, as I didn't have money to purchase it. It has been a complete blessing to me. Don, has combed through the New Testament and asked all the questions that Yahshua asked, and then gives you some wonderful in site into how it applies to our lives. I love to read one a day and pray and meditate on it. I truly feel that Yahweh is working with this author, if you are blessed enough to find a copy of this book, you will be a happy believer.

The Unschooling Handbook Wow! If you are wondering what Unschool is, this is the place to go. I know that I struggled with the concept for years until I read this book. The author puts unschool into sharp perspective but quoting family's all over the country, they give their ideas and typical days. You will get a full picture of how to introduce learning opportunities for you children, what to watch out for. It's very helpful for parents who are trying to shake this western Greek idea of education and how children need to be 'exposed' to an education rather then taking it for them selves.

Wise Woman Herbal For The Child Bearing Year
One of my best friends is a Lay Midwife. She told me about this book, and I am so impressed. This author gives you a no nonsense list of Herbs, that are essential for us a women to have in our daily diets, to support healthy cycles, ovulation and pregnancy. There are several pages on breastfeeding and postpartum issues. The only problem I have with this book is that in the beginning there are herbs listed to help with a 'natural' abortion, and herbs that will make you sterile. I personally don't think that those things are ok. But to each his own.

How To Raise A Healthy Child: In Spite Of Your Doctor
The title says it all. I have stopped taking my children to the Dr. for everything, and only for the really big issues. You NEED to read this book. Very informative!

Farmtown for learning?

This might come as a shock to some, but I am advocating that everyone figure out a way for their children to play Farmtown. For those who haven't heard of it, Farmtown is an interactive game that you can play from Facebook. At first I refused to even look at it, figuring it was stupid and that I would be wasting my time, but now that I have played for awhile and allowed my older children to play for a few days I gotta say Wow, what a learning game.

Not only do they learn about farming (yes a simple form to be sure) but they also learn about money (saving and spending), you have an opportunity to work for other farmers, and hire others to work your farms. They get a chance to work on their spelling and typing skills, as they chat with friends and family, and send and receive gifts. All in all I love it, and so do the kids. It really warms my heart to see them working to save enough money to buy a barn, or animal they really want, because I know that in a limited budget household like ours, they wont get very many opportunities to work with money in real life, so I am super glad that I can give them this chance to practice these important skills.

And for those who are unfamilluar woith facebook, it is a social netwqorking site that you can connect with friends and family. Unlike myspace it seems relatively innocent, and you can be sure to only have family and friends on your friends list. Strangers hardly ever ask to be friends with you, usually only if you are in a group (home schoolers, ER fans .....) together.

Yahova's Arms.

Sometimes I am so blown away by the Spirit of YHVH. I was doing some studying the last few days on His name and issues concerning Torah and oral Torah, Rabbis and Kararites, and then had a wonderful discussion with the children about all of it. The discussion started over breakfast while we talked about the possibility that the earth was created billions of years ago when a huge asteroid of some kind hit the pre-earth that was twice the size it is now, and started it spinning, and therefore made gravity.

This is an idea that was told to them by someone of no faith in Yah, so of course they ask my opinion on these things and I had a couple of questions for them. First, if earth was just a huge mass free floating in the atmosphere that was hit by some other mass, then how did our planet have the exact right amount of oxygen vs carbon dioxide to sustain all the life that we support on this earth? And second, how did we end up on the perfect orbit from the sun, not to close as to burn up, and not so far as to freeze to death? How did it all end up so perfectly in place, there is only one answer for me, and that is that a loving and all knowing Elohim put it all into play, so that we could live this life.

It is really hard for me not to tell them what I believe and to allow them to form their own ideas and beliefs but to my amazement they always come out on the side of YHVH. I remain in total amazement daily at the depth and scope of their faith, and how Yah has truly written his instruction on their hearts, and at the ability he gives me to train them in the way they need to go. I am only able to this because I truly feel that He uses me as a mouth piece so to speak, to tell them what he wants them to hear. For instance about noon or so the children and I were hanging out in my room talking about Torah, and the difference between Rabbinical Judaism and Karaite Judaism, and how we as a family fall more on the side of the Kariates as we have no use for the extra rules and regulations and traditions that have been put into place in rabbinical Judaism, and we feel that sticking to Torah is the best way to go. If it isn't given in Torah we will always question any doctorin or teaching from any religious group.

You see I was explaining Torah to them by drawing a box on a piece of paper and saying you see this is Torah, as long as we stay in this boundary we will be safe, Yah gave us this boundary to keep us healthy and in his grace, through the instructions about food, marriage, treatment of others and the worship of other god's, just to name a few. And when we stray outside the boundaries of Torah bad things start to befall us, when we take our lives and our choices and decide to do things without checking it by Torah we will not make the right choices, since by nature man is a sinful being that will lust after his own heart, not to mention the influence the Adversary has on all of our lives. You see it is his goal to pull as many of us from our Father as he can, he wants to hurt our Father and us, he makes all things that are sin feel really good for a brief moment, only to have the consequences not feel good. Like drinking until you are drunk, it feels really good to be drunk, to have all you inhibitions lowered and to feel free, only to wake up in the morning sick with a pounding headache if you are lucky, or even worse to wake up in jail because you drove drunk, or wake up next to a total stranger, not having the slightest idea of what transpired the night before. That feeling of dark aloneness we feel after we sin is what we get to look forward too all day every day that we are outside Torah, and imagine if we have to spend eternity in that state, no thank you.

This is where the talk really took off, as I was hanging with the kids it came to me, and I'm positive that the Yah was speaking to them through me, and filled my mouth with the right words. I asked my son Camren to come closer to me and I held him in my arms, I asked him how that felt, he said he felt warm and loved. And I said that Torah is YHVH's arms, that when you are inside Torah living and breathing it you are inside YHVH's embrace, where you are warm and safe and loved, that no matter where you are on the wonderful earth He created, as long as you have Torah in your heart then you will be in His arms. Well, we were all struck by the power of that analogy, and sat in silence for almost a full minute as it all sunk in.

Then I continued by saying that like mom's arms when we screw up that He offers correction, and then wraps His arms around us again, that He is always training us, even as adults, just like I train them as children, because he is our Father and we belong to him. Basically I have realized that before I truly gave myself and my love and my life over to YHVH's capable arms, that I was totally out of control, my life was full of darkness and misery. I was on all sorts of medication to fix my moods, and I was truly unhappy most of the time, unless I was medicating with some drug, be it cigarettes, or drinking, or even drugs. Even food, at times lulled me into oblivion so that I didn't have to feel the pain in my soul, and since I gave my soul to my Father, I have not had a panic attack, or a depressive state, that when I am in His arms, I am safe and loved, and I can truly feel love and give it, without reservations or strings attached. That even when I am having hard times, He holds me up, and keeps me going, and that I am truly happy even in hard times. I have faith that no matter what, He will take care of me and make it all ok, no matter what.

Thank you Abba for loving me and taking care of me, Ah'men.

The state of our society.

I found a few minutes this afternoon sitting in my rocking chair humming a teething baby to sleep, to watch Judge Judy. And I was hit with this massive nausea over the state of relationships now a days. We have people suing people over bills and furniture , cell phone bills, slander and a host of other petty issues caused by men and women moving in together with out the benefit of marriage. Or roommates who cant stand each other and leave the other one hanging with the rent and bills and so forth.

For as much as we all think we have grown and changed, with our modern world, living alone or with strangers, dating many many people, not 'settling', and playing the field. I believe we are way worse off then ever before. What is it that we were running from in the first place. Was it the security and stability of life long marriage? Was it the health and safety of a monogamist relationship? Was it the love and structure that living at home with your family until marriage afforded? The most important question is are we crazy? What in the world is wrong with us?

You see I have a few friends and family members who are currently dealing with some of these issues, having lived with someone who was not their spouse and now living in a tiny apartment struggling to make the ends meet, after being practically robbed by the 'significant other' when it all went to hell in a hand basket. What was the point? Are they going to end up on Judge Judy fighting it our over $100 dollars and a game system.

"He has a bag of my clothes!" She whines,
"Well she ruined my computer!" He snarled, to elicit a snort and an eye roll form Judge Judy.

God forbid.

I would like to call out to everyone to go back in time, back to when people got married for the rest of their lives, had kids and raised them with morals and values. Made sure that they had a strong foundation based on religious principals, a biblical beginning if you will. Like teaching our children that lying is a sin, and that your virginity is special and something that should not be given lightly. What would our world look like if our children were taught what a good work ethic looked like, and understood that consequences follow actions, either good or bad. Children that have had discipline (OMG yes I am talking about spanking) and respect their elders, and love their neighbor........

Look at the people we want to emulate in the press. We gobble up magazines full of slutty looking women who jump from man to man and have children with many different people. Or the men who trade their wives in for a younger model. If we didn't buy these rags (or watch the television shows) then maybe they would put people on the cover who had some values and morals that our children could really look up too.

What influence are we being on our kids? How do we dress, how long do we keep a job? What kind of books and magazines do we read, what kind of programs do we watch on the TV and at the theater? These are all questions we need to be asking ourselves. One that I have struggled with is the music I listen to. My husband has a weakness for rock music, and honestly some of the lyrics are completely inappropriate, even some of the country music I listen too is not suitable for children to listen to, and I have in the past excused it by saying, "They aren't even listening, they're busy playing." Yeah right, only later to have them humming the beat and singing the lyrics. Oops

Shouldn't our kids be our first priority? Why are we ok with strangers raising our children? Now I understand that some mothers due to divorce and or death of a spouse have no choice but to get a job to take care of their children. But what kind of family's do we have that we will turn the raising of our children over to a daycare and public school, for what I ask? So that we can have better cars, or a bigger house, God forbid we don't get to take a vacation every year. What happened to the dad's who found a second job if needed to make ends meet. I stay home and take care of my children, I take full responsibility for their care, discipline, and education. And let me tell you it can be the hardest job there is. My husband on the other hand works and makes sure that we have enough money to pay the bills. Sometimes it is really hard and at other times it is easier. And when we need it he has gone and gotten a second job, because having his children raised by their mother is his #1 priority. He works in manual labor and does not have any kind college degree to 'fall back on', but we make it and I know that there are more family's that could make it if they only gave it a try.

We are responsible for them, and when they grow up, are we going to be proud of the job we've done? I hope that I will do a good job and that I will raise a bunch of awesome, respectful, healthy kids. When did being a mother become something that was less than having a career. And if a career is something that you want maybe waiting until the children are grown might be a good idea.

Isn't raising our children and parenting supposed to be the most important job there is.

My little girl.

I just wanted to take a few minutes and document Abigail sweet existence. She is the first baby that I have given birth to all by myself, no doctors or nurses, no stir-ups... just me a pool and then there was a baby. The most sweet beautiful baby in the world. She was so perfect and fat and pink. Well needless to say I haven't ever had to take her to a Dr. she is super healthy, and fat, and still perfect.

The question is why is she so healthy, I have a few ideas.... First, maybe its because her cord wasn't clamped and cut immediately after birth.... did you know that doing that traps a full 30% to 50% of the baby's blood volume in the placenta. You might ask yourself "Self, why would Dr's who are supposed to do no harm rob the tinyist little life of so much of his or her very vital blood?" I can tell you, part of it is just being total impatient A -holes... wanting to hurry and get outta that room and on to other things, hence the shot of Pitocin that they always give now to "help" the placenta come faster, God forbid they let nature take it's course and wait for the cord to stop pulsing then cut it. And perhaps if all women were allowed to let their placentas detach and come out on their own (no tugging, yanking, or pulling required) then we would not have the high instance of PP hemorrhage.

Then there is the selling of our placentas that is happening all over this country. The hospitals are selling our placentas to Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic companies.. Why you might ask? Cord blood is a huge deal now, and the Hospitals get a huge payday for that, but do you think that we get a credit on our bill since it is our "Medical Waste" they are selling to make face cream (bet you didn't know that lots of our anti-aging smudge we slather all over our faces and bodies has human placentas in them), and all sorts of things that I don't even want to get into here.

Second, she has never been poked by a needle, not for a Vitamin K shot, or any other "Immunization" they kill more babies then they help by the way. I did not cut her heel to test her for a Metabolic Disorder that only strikes like less then 1% of babies, and usually there is a family connection (heredity) nor did I take her in when she got Jaundice, as something like over 90% of newborns have Jaundice... And being an intelligent person that knows how to read I was able to do research on Jaundice and found that there are 3 kinds, and that Abbie had the most common and most easily treatable kind. Treated with lots of boob juice and some sunlight.

I took Alisha (my oldest) in twice a day for the first week Post-Pard for "heal sticks" because of her jaundice. They never did or gave her anything for it, but her heels looked like pin cushions.

There are many other reasons I feel contribute the Abigail's over all health and well being, I co-sleep, she has spent every night of her life within arms reach of me. I wear her in a sling (more when she was small) around the house and out in public at the store. She has never been that screaming baby in Walmart getting her car seat shaken, while being shushed by an antsy mom who just wants to run outta there leaving her cart full of stuff behind.

I have never fed her on the schedule that was put out by God knows who saying that babies need cereal at 4 months and food at 6 months.... bla bla bla. She has only been interested in nursing from the start, and she is just now at 10 months starting to want to try other foods. And the funny thing is, if you nurse your baby exclusively that is all the food they need until they are a year old. That little tidbit is not given by the mainstream media, maybe because they are funded by the Formula companies, I wont even get into what poise that crap is right now.

So here we are at 10 months, and Abbie weighs 22 pounds, she is crawling and cruising, she is saying mama, dada, baba, and like 4 or 5 other baby words. She eats great, she sleeps soundly, she only poops once a week (which really freaked me out at first, but there doesn't seem to be a problem). She loves her siblings and enjoys 'petting' hahaha the kitties.

I am writing this so that I can remind myself that listening to my gut and my mothers intuition will always be a better idea then listening to the mainstream media, Dr's who always have a agenda and who are also pressured by the Pharm Companies. Now I am not saying that there isn't a place for Dr's and hospitals, because there definitely is, I'm saying that they should be more of a last resort, God gave us all the ability to take care of our offspring, just like the animals, I have yet to see a chimp take her baby to another chimp to fix it, she takes care of her baby herself.

Mothers trust your intuition.... you'll thank me later!!!
