Lack of Knowledge
Written by Kat
September 16th 2019
One of the many frequently quoted passages in the Bible is found in Hosea 4:6:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
God is lamenting that “My people” are “destroyed” because of the absence of something, the “lack of knowledge.” Whenever the truth of Scriptures is missing in any given area, the results are always the same: Sin runs rampant.
“No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good. There is a silly idea about, that good people don’t know what temptation means.” C.S. Lewis
The statement ‘ignorance is bliss’, is irrelevant in any society or any situation. Knowledge is power and without such how can we then succeed.
Its definitely easier in the world we live in today, to just ignore what’s going on all around us. I know it can be overwhelming sometimes, but the only way to defeat the enemy, and the darkness is to be aware of all things good and bad. Study not only God’s word and His promises, but also any alternative news sources and free thinking reporters you can find. Educate yourself on what’s actually going on. Beware of the wolf in the sheeps’s clothing, the false prophets, and those that seduce you with their materialistic lifestyles.
John 8:32 (NKJV)
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
1 Corinthians 13:6 (NKJV)
“does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth..”
1 John 2:21 (NKJV)
“I have not written you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”
It’s silly to assume vile things aren’t going on in the circle of worldwide elites, the Bible talks about over and over again (1,2 Kings, Judges, etc) how great men of God are corrupted by power, money, beautiful women, etc. How can we assume that those ‘leaders’ who aren’t followers of Christ are somehow avoiding perversion. Jeffery Epstein for example, he’d been a known front man for an international pedophile ring for years, but nothing had come of that knowledge for over a decade. In part because people didn’t want to believe it was true. We didn’t want to believe we live in a bad world, that’s only getting worse.
Romans 3:23-24 (NKJV)
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in christ Jesus.”
Romans 5:12(NKJV)
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—.”
I’ve always been one who preferred not letting my mind dwell on negative things, or letting myself get overly bogged down with what most would classify as ‘politics’. But, I’ve realized our minds and our ability to research/study are sometimes our greatest weapons. We can’t win a battle that we don’t even know is going on. The battle for our unborn babies, our children, our freedom of religion, freedom of speech, our right to bear arms, and the list goes on. Darkness will not prevail where there is light. Truth is light, knowledge is light, understanding is light, keep the light lit in your hearts and minds.
John 12:46 (NKJV)
“I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”
As christians we know how the story will end. Our Prince of Peace will coming riding in on a white horse and vanquish our foe. We have hope for a tomorrow without pain or suffering. That hope for tomorrow give us hope for today.
Revelation 19:11 (NKJV)
“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.”

Christian life
It is hard to live a Christian life, but in the end it all worth it. As I am writing right now this post we are still living with my parents-in-law, which for some people it seems nice, but for us it is difficult. I love them very much but to live with just my family is the best way. A few months ago we did apply for Habitat home which we got a denied just because we do not make enough, basically, we are too poor to have a home on our own, might that that Rob is working so hard on two jobs.
I have not been writing here for a while because I have been busy with school and being pregnantwith our tenth child in October 20th.
I am still thankful for everything that God does for us, even for this season of life that I am going through. God is there with me all the way through, sometimes I am realy ready to give up and just be done. I know it is wrong and praying for His holy strength that only comes from Him.
In the past I did not understand this saying: "You either in the fire before it or just pass it through and ready to go to another one". To me it simse like a long road of fire that I cannot see a light throught. I need even more God's help, that is why I am going throught it.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 helps me keep going further in the hard life. I need to focus more on the little blessings that God already gave me and is still giving to me and not waitng for a huge one.
Thank you Lord for being there through difficult times of my life, I am tired but you are strong to keep to cary me on.
~leza Edit note: we are here at our own home that we are remodeling!! sooo thankful to our God for provision.

my thoughts on Proverbs 31 women
Life can be full of surprises. As I am writing this I am at the library with children getting ready to go home. As my husband Rob trys to work hard to provide for our family I was looking for a job too, a part time one. I got hired at Lafayette Chick-file-a and my first unofficial day is on Wednesday. My shift will be a small because I am still homeschooling my children.
Evryhting I am trying to read Bible and just talk to the Lord. I have being reading Proverbs and especially 31 where Bible describes almost perfect women.
I have know so many women that are trying to be like Proverbs 31. I also have herd so many husband are mention that they found in their wives that kind of woman. I do not believe either of those sayings.
First this kind of lady must be crafty to make her own things and sell it on the markets. In our days craft shows or eBay.
Then she must have a servants to help her around a house, there is no way she would raise her voice at her kids because, servants did all the work and kids would just do their school and play.
More to come keep reading.

home made shampoo
Here is new recipe for homemade shampoo. I did not try it yet, but my friend did and she really like it.
1 bar of soap
4 qt. of water
2 eggs beaten ( you can do it without it)
1 ts. borax ( it is same ingredient as for laundry detergent)
Dissolve soaps in 1 qt of hot water. Let cool. Mix soap mixtur and 3qt. of water, eggs and borax. Stir thoroughly. Let rest for over night. And that is it. You will have fine hair. This recipe is good for any types of hair.
My little suggestion is also delude vinegar in water, like have cup of vinegar and cup of water and rinse your hair with it and you will have shiny smooth hair. I have done this back in Ukraine. It is common to do it this way back there.

day one
Like I said earlier in my blog, I have started a new workout routing it is called Slim in 6. I love workouts and feel great after I have done it. This is my workout section 2 of first week. It is actually is hard and tiring. 47 minuets long of sweat and lots of water bottles. I am trying to get healthy, but without right diet it is much harder.
In our little home I am using our girls room to do my workouts and it works if their room is clean.
Being mother to a 9 children is hard, let no one tells you that is easy because it is not. Especially to keep home clean, it is like no one lives here. Every time I say to pick their stuff everyone tells me it is not ours. It is like aliens brought and just drop everything in our home or made a mess. I remember myself being their age and did have same answers as they do, when being ask to pick my room up. It is so ironically.
Oh, well till the next time. I am planing to add recipe for shampoo and some other things like how to make butter and buttermilk biscuits.
Soli Deo Gloria!

it is hard
IT is hard sometimes to find time to write, as much as I like it. I do know I have a spelling and grammer problems in English, probably I already have same problems in my own Russian language. :)
I have been trying to add few recipes here on my blog, so far have some. Today it will be hard to add anyhting except this, because I am on my way to get an interview for a job at Chick-File. We need a little bit more income to pay off our student loans. Rob and I went to school and gor our degree, at least he did, but now he can not find job tha twould pay something. Well, God is in control and HE knows what we are going through.
