Our Family

Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!
{Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Mark 12:28-30} 

Hello! I’m Stephanie. I’m happily married to David, my best friend and Army veteran, for 23 years. Together we are raising our tribe, teaching and training our seven children: Victoria (22), Gregory (17), Rebekah (15), Irelyne (13), Dalton (12), Moriyah (7), Elisheva (5).

Being the wife and mother that I was created to be is my heart and deepest passion along with teaching our girls to embrace the same calling and training our boys to be men of virtue, a characteristic that is lacking in our culture these days. Our boys are blessed to be surrounded and growing up with their sisters and to see and experience what biblical womanhood should look like for their future wives.

My children and I are blessed to have such a loving and devoted husband and father. David is a retired Army Ranger Officer. He spends every free moment with us and is careful to give quality time to each of us. We each benefit from his understanding of Scripture, leadership, outdoor survival skills and knowledge, intelligence, and great cooking/baking abilities. He loves the LORD YaHWeH with all his heart.

Through the years as our family has grown we have always served our creator. Over the last 12 years, our family has discovered the Hebrew Roots of our faith and our eyes have been opened to the truth of what that means. We now study the scriptures from a Hebraic perspective verses the greek mindset that is completely opposite. I talk a lot about that here and how we are applying these truths to our lives by living out our faith through a lifestyle of learning not so much in a classroom setting but in the setting of real life! Our family ministry is one of being “watchmen” to the lost tribes of Israel and to awaken the hearts of those that are asleep to the truth!

We spent nearly 5 years living on our 40 foot RV traveling with David’s job and were blessed with this amazing opportunity. We are sharing truth along the way, learning, serving and loving one another!

The late newspaper columnist and humorist, Erma Bombeck once said this about family. “We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.” However, we have not waited to figure out the common thread that bonds us together, yes we are a family but we see our family as part of the bigger picture of the family of Yahweh.

Our desire is to raise up children who walk with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob serving him with their whole heart. After all, the heart is what the Father sees, not the outward appearance (1Sam. 16:7), hence the name of our website. We believe worship is a lifestyle. We have daily family worship in our home and believe this will lay the foundation for multigenerational faithfulness. Therefore we also homeschool so that Deut. 6 is being lived out daily and we are talking of the ways of Yahweh morning noon and night and we can meditate on the Word all day long.(Psalm 1)

Yes, we share toothpaste and diseases, inflict pain and kissing to heal it in the same instance, we laugh, love, and pray. Far from perfect, we are making our way on this journey together,  though not in the mainstream of society; it is where Yahweh would have us, on the set-apart path, sold out for HIM! May HE alone receive ALL the glory!

We are happy to share in our journey with you. Please let us know you were here! May our Father richly bless you!

 

“Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.”
(Psalm 145:3-4)

“There will be a day when watchmen cry out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Come, let us go up to Zion, to YHWH our Elohim.’”
Jeremiah 31:6
