Ultimate Blog Party
This looks like a bit of fun and a good way to find mom, Christian and other blogs so I’m nervously joining in (I’ve never posted a banner before :))
My blog
I started to blog very recently so it is all still developing, but most of what I am writing about is my Christian faith, mothering, marriage, homemaking and being a woman. My over-arching goal in life is to please God so everything I do and write about will be from that perspective! What really made me start blogging in earnest is when I read Matthew 10:27 which says ‘Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops’. I was challenged by this to share publically what God is teaching me, so that hopefully it might be helpful to some people. I also wanted to find something I could do at home in the evenings to help me be refreshed and also glorify God!
Me
I am English, living in Wales (my real homeland, as I love Wales!), and married to an American missionary who also pastors a church here. I have always wanted to be a missionary so God granted me that desire, just in a different way from how I thought He would, as I didn’t have to learn a language or travel very far! We have three sweet children – Caleb 5, Hope 3 and Josiah 1, and I homeschool. I love books (especially the Bible!), mountains, playing the piano and worship.
Here are some pictures of our family (my daughter only has long hair in one because her brother gave her a haircut recently – not planned!):
Please make yourself at home and have a look around, and leave a comment if you like!
Here are some posts you might like:
Nice to meet you, Rhoda, through the UBP. I, grew up in a ministry family, (Parents were missionaries) and married into a ministry family . . . you might say it is in my blood.
Blessing on you and your darling family in Wales.
Fondly,
Glenda

Rhoda,
One thing I love about blogging is meeting people all over the world. Whales? Fun!
I remember when one of my daughters gaver herself a haircut. It looked very similar.
Nice meeting you!

Hello! You have a pretty blog. That is cool that you live in Wales. My children and I had a lot of fun reading about Wales not long ago. I am also a Christian, homeschooling Mama and I also like to play the piano.
Fun to see pictures of your family! Have fun at the party!
So nice to meet you!! Stopping by from your visit to my blog through ubp!! Blessings!
Hi! Stopping by from the USA – via the UBP. Sounds like the Lord is working thru you. Woot! I am now following you. Blessings!
Found you on UBP’11 and am now following you! I have thought about switching to Word Press so I would be interested in hearing your opinion.

What an lovely family. Isn’t funny how God takes our dreams and makes them His, but with that twist that you never saw coming. I love that about Him.
Thanks for visiting the House of Hills.
Hi! I’m visiting from the UBP – #73 (Being Made New – http://tinahollenbeck.blogspot.com) on the Christian List. Very glad to get to know you a bit. I’m also a homeschooling momma and have ended up to be a missionary in a different way than I ever imagined, too. I hope you might be able to stop by my place this week. :^)
Nice to meet you, Rhoda! I’m so happy to find your blog today. Welcome to the blogging world! so cool that you live in Wales, my mom has 2 friends from there! I have always wanted to be a missionary too, but I’ll have to wait and see what He has planned for me!
Can’t wait to read some more!
