Seven Moores, could there be ONE more?

Loving my life in the midst of all the noise

Maybe its not about Moving the mountain.......

Funny how our kids can influence our lives.  I have heard the kids singing a Miley Cyrus' song The Climb, and I thought wow those are really good lyrics. 

There are times in our life that we just want THAT mountain to move....well maybe it is not suppose to move....maybe we are suppose to climb it!!! 

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Where there is a Vision, there will be Provision.........

Yesterday I had to take our older four kids to the dentist. They don't like it, and well I don't like it much myself because I have to sit and wait a really long time, four kids in the dentist chair is not a quick process.  Anyway, I decided to look through all the magazines, with Mackie.  We were having fun laughing at pictures, and people.  After she went back, I decided to read a few things.  I was reading about a lady that had a vision to help people that could not work because of childcare issues during "nontraditional" working hours.  She had heard her pastor pay just the week before "WHERE THERE IS A VISION, THERE WILL BE PROVISION".  This just does not mean you think something cool up, and it will be provided for.  If God gives you a vision for what you are to do, He will bring provision to make it happen.

There are many ways that I have seen God provide for the vision we gave our family over  nine years ago.  In these past 9 years we have had really great ideas, and they just fizzle away, but the vision he gave, he provides for.  I would not says that this is always easy.  Just this week, I was thinking God does it have to be this way.  But, I know this is the life he has called us to live, and I would not be happier doing anything else. 

Now as God has placed adoption on our families heart....our question is what else do we do about it.  We have been sent childrens pictures, and referal to find them a home, a home they can be loved and cared for, and grow up knowing they are loved.  So, with this I am searching if this is a new vision he is giving our family.  Not adoption again....even though I would not be against that if He told us to.....but to open up an organization where we can find these children the forever family they need.  Yesterday God spoke very clearly to me......where there is a vision there will be a provision......

Watching and waiting anxiously!!

No Child Left Inside....

I know some of you may pass out that I am actually updating my blog.  I really have so much in my head that I need to get down on paper....well, not paper, but you know what I mean.

In the Moore house right now we are finishing up this year of homeschooling.  It has been a good year.  A hard year, but a good year.  This year was much more structured than last year, and I hope to stay on that schedule.  This year we did not have as many trips to Chapel Hill for Mariah, and we did not have to "make up" as many missed days.  So as this year comes to an end, we are gearing up for end of grade testing, and looking into what to do next year.  The kids have asked to change curriculum for next year, so we are searching, and searching.  In this search, I have met new friends, and people that have come into my life to help me in this journey, which I am thankful for and excited about.  As we venture into another year of homeschooling I am excited and confident that it will be good.  Until then though we are going to enjoy our break, and head to Honduras.  More on that in the next post.  Yes it will be coming!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADISON AND MARIAH!!!!!!!!

It is hard to believe our first girl is 9 today, and our last girl is 2 today!!  I still think it is so cool that God chose for Mariah to share a birthday with Madison. 

The kids and I are heading to the Mountains today.  We are going to spend some time with some special friends of ours.  I can't wait!!!!  Mark is in Honduras until next Sunday, so we are splitting out time here and in the mountains.

May you all have a great New Year!

Just something I thought was funny......

14 Days of Homeschooling
On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can you
homeschool legally?”

On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Are they
socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Do you give
them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the fourth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “What about
P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool
legally?”

On the fifth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “YOU ARE SO
STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized,
can you homeschool legally?”

On the sixth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “How long will
you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them
tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the seventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Look at what
they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE,
what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you
homeschool legally?”

On the eighth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Why do you do
this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU
ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they
socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the ninth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “They’ll miss
the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long
will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give
them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the tenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “What about

they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE,
what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you
homeschool legally?”

On the eleventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “I could
never do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do
you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you
homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them
tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the twelfth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can they go
to college, I could never do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss
the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long
will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give
them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the thirteenth day of homeschool I thoughtfully replied: “They can
go to college, yes you can do this, they can have graduation, we don’t
like the prom, we do it `cuz we like it, they are missing nothing,
we’ll homeschool forever, WE ARE NOT STRANGE!, we give them P.E., and
we give them tests, they are socialized, AND WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!

On the fourteenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “How can I
get started, why didn’t you tell me, where do I buy curriculum, when
is the next conference, WILL PEOPLE THINK WE’RE STRANGE?, I think we
can do this, if you will help us, we will join a sports team and we’ll
homeschool legally.”

Back home

		Wednesday, 10 December 08 - 01:31 PM (GMT -04:00) By Amy Moore in General

I made it back home around 12:00 last night.  What a good feeling to see my family again.  I was not able to post while in Honduras last week, our internet access was very limited, and I did not have my computer when I got back to the Gomez house.  At this point I really can't describe my trip.  I am going to process it in my head, and put it into words soon, but I am still in the processing phase.  I had a great trip, and got to spend a lot of time on the end with my other family, the Gomez's.  I used this time to reflect, and debrief all that I had experienced.  I have never left a trip feeling more emotionally drained than this one.  I will be posting pictures, and stories in the next few days, so check back.

I'm going to Honduras

		Wednesday, 26 November 08 - 12:14 PM (GMT -04:00) By Amy Moore in General

I find that I use my blog most of the time when Mark is in Honduras to keep him up to date on what is happening in the Moore home while he is away.  Well, for the first time I am going on a mission trip without the family.  On Monday I will be meeting up with a team from Snowbird to go work in an orphanage in Honduras.  The orphanage that we will be working in is new to me.  I have wanted to go to Orphanage Emmanuel for a long time, but have not gotten the chance.  Starting Monday, I will be spending a week with the the 465 children there.  I am very excited about the opportunity to go, and love on the children for a week.  After our week is over, I will be spending one extra day with the Gomez family.  I am thrilled to have this opportunity. 

You can pray for Mark.....he will have the five kids to himself, homeschooling, and keeping the house from being demolished.
