Welcome! Nuestra Casa Es Su Casa ...Our house is your house

A glimpse into the life of Daniel and Jaynee Lockwood and their 12 precious blessings. Thank you for visiting; we pray that what we share here may always bring glory to our wonderful God and Saviour. May you praise the Lord with us for the great things He has done and continues to do as we serve Him sharing the gospel here in the little town of Cuidad Insurgentes, BCS Mexico. He alone is good and faithful!

Back to posting :)


If you don’t mind posts that only take a few minutes and may not be all that “refined”, you’ll have a bit more to read here.
My husband has been asking me for weeks….okay, maybe months (not proud of this)…to post more updates.  I stopped updating as much as I felt it was taking too much time….something that I want to use as best I can.  But when my husband wants me to use my time doing something that I’m not doing, making excuses isn’t an option.  So while I have tried this and that to find time to update more, it hasn’t happened.  Tonight I thought…I just need to do it.  The Lord just wants us to obey and then He will bless and what I have found is He often multiplies my time when I use it in the way He directs.

Soooo all that to say, hi! 
  When I think  of what is on my heart to share with others, I think of 4 main areas:

*Missions-  I LOVE missions!  Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others; discipling and teaching others in the Word of God; life on a foreign field; stories of what God is doing here

*Home School/Teaching-  I LOVE to teach!!  I LOVE home schooling my children!  When I was a little girl and people would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up (not sure if I’ll ever really grow up J ), I always said 3 things…. I want to be a wife/mother;  I want to be a missionary;  I want to be a teacher.  I always hoped the Lord would allow me to have one of those “dreams”.  He gave me ALL of them! 

*Encouraging others-  The Lord is so good and so faithful and teaches me so many things.  I LOVE sharing what the Lord is doing in my life with others!  I love giving Him the glory and encouraging others. 

*Family- I LOVE my family!  I really, really love my hubby!  I love our children!  I am so blessed!

Half of the time, when I think I should update, I just can’t think of what to share….I have so much I’d love to share and just can’t decide.  I can’t decide what to eat when my husband takes me out for a date.  I just want him to choose for me.  Drives him nuts! J  So I came up with a plan...

*Missions Monday- Posts about the work here in Mexico
*Teaching Tuesday- Home school posts; day in the life posts; teaching ladies and children
*Who or What you can pray for Wednesday-  Often times people want to pray for a missionary, but aren't sure what to pray about.  God loves to hear and answer prayer and we'd love to share some specific things you can pray about with us.
*Thursdays Thoughts- What the Lord has laid on my heart or is teaching/has taught me
*Family Friday- Posts about our family

I know….I can hear Daniel right now, “Babe, (that’s what he calls me ;) )….you are such an extremist.  You go from posting once every blue moon to wanting to post 5x a week.”  I know, I know.  But sometimes if I just have a goal, it’s easier to stick to it than having none at all in which I do nothing. I figure I can't post any less really. ;)  
So, the posts may be short or long.  Most of the pictures will probably be off my phone.  But I love pleasing my hubby J  And for those who are interested, I would love to continue to share what the Lord is doing here!  He is so wonderful!  

See you mañana J
This picture doesn't have anything to do with this post;  I just like it ;)  Well, maybe it does have something to do with this post :)
