House Update and Orders
We've gotten quite a bit of housing updates this month.
First, praise the Lord, the house in CA is sold! We are no longer homeowners, and I am so thankful that the 8 year long headache is OVER! God has been so good to us, and has taken care of us even in hard times. He has truly made all things work together for my good.
Also, my dear husband has received orders again.
We will be staying here on Whidbey Island for 3 more years.
To be honest, I've been feeling a bit of wanderlust, and would love the opportunity to explore a new place, but if I had to be "stuck" anywhere, there is no where else I'd rather be. We are so blessed to live in this beautiful place.

How to Make an Awesome Burger
about 1/4 cup chopped onions
about 1/4 cup bread crumbs
Those of you who know me well, know I do not measure. Burgers especially are something I go by sight, feel and smell, but I tried to estimate as I went for you.
Toss everything in a bowl and mix by hand.

We have a burger press, and this makes 6 quarter pound burgers.But you could also form your patties by hand.
Have your amazing husband grill them over high heat.
I put them on homemade buns this time, but any bun you like is just fine. I love cheese, mayo and ketchup on my burgers but top with whatever your favorite condiments are. YUMMY!

Videos you MUST watch
I've been quiet online lately. I've really just been focusing on living life, and teaching the young hearts the Lord has given me. He's put an urgency in my heart. Watching the way the world is moving, and our country is moving has caused me to really sit up and take notice, and make sure my children are prepared. Our Messiah is coming back!
Anyhow, a friend has been telling me about an awesome Worldview Curriculum by Summit Ministries. Her daughter went through and their whole family has been so blessed. We are unable to buy the curriculum right now, but for the last few weeks we have been watching the free online videos for the middle school level. I can not even describe how amazing these messages are.

You can find them here:
I beg you to please take the time you aren't spending reading my blog ;) and watch at least the one called "Guard Your Heart".
And then if you are blessed (and I know you will be) watch "Six Great Questions" too.
