If you are new here… welcome to “Our Family for His Glory”; I’m so glad you are here! If you are dear friends, family, or readers that frequent here often- we always love having you around! :) I’m just going to take a moment to share what “Our Family for His Glory” is all about!
Let me tell you a little about our family… my name is Jessica, & my most wonderful husband and I have been married for a little over 9 years. We have 6 precious children. Our oldest are twin girls that turned 7 yesterday, & our littlest baby girl was born in June. Yes, that makes 6 kids all ages 7 & under!! Boy to girl ratio!? 5 girls & just 1 little 3-year-old boy (& he is ALL boy)! Many people seem to think that with so many little ones, we either are completely “crazy” or “have it all together” at our house… but, I assure you neither is true! We are just your “average” family that seeks to love & honor God in all we do, & I am just your every-day mommy, longing to be full of grace, but often needing to ask for forgiveness! I pray God will use this broken vessel, as I seek to lead my little ones to Christ & to share what I am learning along the way!
We love GOD and long for Him to be glorified in our lives & through this blog! And I pray that everything you find here, will ultimately lead you & your family back to HIM… in the every day moments… the uncertainties of raising little ones… the slobbery kisses & bedtime stories… the diapers & the cries… the times of training, teaching and discipline… the endless cleaning & organizing… the hours spent on our knees in prayer… the days full of laughter & joy. For, we know that raising a family for HIS glory brings so many questions… we understand- we’ve been there… WE ARE THERE! And, without God's strength & grace, we would be nothing & could do nothing. {{In fact, right now, we are going through a bit of a “life transition” (which we covet your prayers for) & we are calling out to God every day, every hour, every moment!}}
So, this blog really stems from our desire to help & encourage other mommies & families out along the way as we struggle together to raise our children for God's glory! I pray you will find hope & encouragement and that you will be blessed!
I enjoy writing about our family, our faith, our homeschooling journey, our marriage, motherhood, home-making & life in general, buy mostly I am passionate about GOD and leading little (& big) hearts to Him! Here is a sampling of what you will find at “Our Family for His Glory”…

Dear Jessica,
I wanted to let you know what a blessing your website is. I found your blog through a link on the HOD discussion board. Your posts have been such an encouragement to me and make me want to be a better wife and mother. I am a first generation Christian and need all the help I can get raising my daughters for HIS glory. I will be praying for your wonderful family regarding your move since we are facing a move in the near future as well. I am so excited to try out the HOD curriculum, especially after reading your ethusiastic reviews. You are a wonderful role model, please keep encouraging us mothers with your wisdom!
Blessings to you and your family!

I found you on WLW blog hop. I am loving what I've read so far and can't wait to read more. Can't wait to 'know' you better. You have a beautiful family!
I am hopping over from WLW. I am a new homeschooling mommy, so I am loving finding other families that see homeschooling as being the best way to bring up their children(i NEVER thought I would be saying I homeschooled). I am excited to read more from you!
Thanks, Jessica! I love to read thru your posts...they are very encouraging. My little twins (our youngest) are just your twins' age, and love to peak at pictures of all of your kiddos, but especially your twinkles! You have a lovely family!
Wow! Im so glad I stopped by because your blog is such an encouraging place. We are about to adopt a sibling set and will instantly be a "big" family. I look forward to gleaning wisdom from you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! It looks like we write about many of the same topics. :) When I start to feel like things are crazy with four children under 7, I'll think of you and your six! Enjoy your blessings!
