With a family our size, life is ALWAYS hopping busy! Check out the post below to see what is NEW with our family and the things that have been keeping us busy. Thanks for reading and God bless you all! In Christian Love, The Rodrigues Family
It was a blessing to have the Larimore Family stop in for a visit on their vacation. What a sweet, Christian, fellow homeschooling family they are! 
Boy were these children glad to see their grandparents after our trip out West. 
We are SO excited for our oldest 2 girls- Nurie and Kaylee! They have wanted to study the Bible in more depth. In September, they started a Bible Institute Program at Ripley Baptist Temple. 
Girls, we love you and are SO excited to see your desire to be students of the Bible. Hugs, Daddy and Mama
What do you do when these are the type pics and messages your son sends you via text ALL the way from Washington State…
“Hope you have a good night I love you deeply.”???????
“I love you, Mama. You are my super hero.” ???❤???
I look toward Heaven and thank a merciful God for blessing me with such an incredible son! My heart rejoices at literally tasting the TRUTH of the verse…I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth!
“Timothy, I LOVE you and I am SO honored by you!” Forever Your Greatest Cheerleader, Mama xo ?❤??
**Just so you all know, the below picture is of Timothy signing “I LOVE YOU” in sign language.**
Daddy SURE does love his 9th girl- Janessa Ruth.
We just took her for a pediatric Optometrist Doctor appointment to make sure the area of injury (stroke) in her brain did not affect her eyes in a negative way. 
It did NOT! Hallelujah! The doctor said her eyes look great!
Janessa continues to be our living miracle of God’s grace and it shows God is STILL in the miracle working business! We praise His HOLY Name and thank Him for His goodness to us!!

Honestly, our daughter Nurie brings us nothing but joy! She is such a submissive young woman who has a VERY close walk with God. She strives to please Him in ALL she does! She is a great example to me. “I love you, honey.”
“Although we are excited to see what God does with your future, we are thrilled you have chosen to still live with us…traveling, singing, helping teach your younger siblings, sewing, putting yourself through Bible Institute and embracing ALL that your full life holds for you right now in this springtime season.”
“I LOVE you more than words could ever express.” Forever, Mama xoxoxo

I thought today was a good day to snap some pics from my old photo albums of us visiting the Twin Towers with my parents, sisters, and friend. 9-11, We will never forget! 
I LOVE that the weight is coming off so easily. I love the company I work for. I love being healthy. I LOVE the supplements I take. I LOVE Plexus! 
Nurie’s VERY best friend – Hosanna Plath – is engaged to her sweetheart- Timothy Noble at – https://timothynobleplayspiano.com .
Nurie is SO honored to have been asked by sweet Hosanna to be a bridesmaid at this BEAUTIFUL wedding event next June.
Isn’t this a WONDERFUL picture of the 2 of them? We rejoice at God’s goodness in their lives!
Also, check out Hosanna’s Family’s website. What a SWEET family they are and super musical too!
I am SO pleased with Nurie’s diligence. I have a sewing machine and sew some things…curtains, some simple dresses for my girls, blankets, etc. However, Nurie’s skill in sewing was limited to mending, sewing on a button, etc.
Well, last winter in a meeting we were in, Brother John O’Malley asked my girls if they knew how to sew. That inspired Nurie to learn. So, she went out and bought her own sewing machine. She watched and watched instructional youtube videos on how to use her machine. She went out and bought a pattern. She stayed up late…sewing and sewing and she….
MADE from scratch this BEAUTIFUL dress for Hannah.
Nurie, your diligence and willingness to learn and better yourself is SUCH a blessing to me! You are SUCH a hard worker in our home. I LOVE you! -Mama
21 years ago on (October 4, 1997) we said “I DO” to each other…for better or for worse. We meant those vows and have stayed true to them, even when the going was tough.
Now, we are more in love than EVER before and have learned how quickly the years fly by. We have learned to embrace a bit longer, gaze into each others eyes a bit longer, and put petty nothings where they belong.
NO one but each of us understand the LOVE we share between each other for our 13 precious children. They mean so much to us! ?????????????
To have 13 children and be in full time ministry, has meant sacrifices; but, the more we follow God and His ways…the more we see His hand of blessing upon our lives.
It is a rich life…filled with love, joy, peace, laughter, contentment, surrender, and more blessings than we can list!
It is a GOOD life!
Their VERY first kiss on October 4, 1997.
We just finished our 21st anniversary trip / Kaylee’s home school senior trip! It was SO fun! We went to Amish country. ?Hannah tagged along and nursing Janessa. Kaylee LOVES farms and hopes to marry a farmer someday! ??? So, for a special treat to Kaylee, we brought her to an Amish farm with LOTS of different animals. ? Kaylee was in her GLORY! “It was fun, Kaylee, and we LOVE you! It has been a JOY homeschooling you!” Hugs, Daddy & Momma ?
They had a LOT of different animals at this farm that you were allowed to feed. SO neat!
This bull gave David a piece of its mind! LOL.
“Some more please!” and if not….”I’ll just stick my head in your window and help myself!” LOL.
Poor David. This Ostrich pecked his hand and finger VERY hard twice! LOL. ??
This was SO neat to feed all these animals on a LOVELY Amish Farm! It was a drive through safari (of sorts) right in Ohio!
Our anniversary trip was indeed lovely!! It brought me to tears when it was coming to a close. 3 nights is the longest we have ever been able to afford and break away from our precious children and extremely busy lives. However, it is a CHERISHED 3 days! What a LOVELY room and gorgeous hotel my amazing husband booked for us. Again, it was nice to have Kaylee along in celebration of her upcoming graduation from high school. Hannah and baby Janessa also were with us. What a wonderful time we had! 21 years….and going strong! (We went to an Amish musical play named- “Stolen”. Hence the pics with the Amish actors.)
Well, our family just finished ANOTHER order of 100,000 Smiley Gospel Tracts. ?
What is neat, is that ALL the way in Spokane, Washington, Timothy volunteered at the fair at an Amazing Grace Mission booth.
The man there, told Timothy that he LOVES the Smiley Tracts and they are (BY FAR) the most quality he has ever seen. ?
Timothy responded, my Dad printed those! ? The man said (as of right now) our printing ministry is the only place they know where to order “Smilies” from.
It was a GREAT blessing to Timothy to see his Dad’s work and ministry having far reaching effects…all the way there in Washington State. ?
That particular booth at that fair passed out over 12,000 Smiley Gospel Tracts AND about 204 souls were saved! ??????
How it blessed our hearts to hear that! Also, we recently got a message through our website from a person that found one of our smiley tracts in a bathroom stall…in a far away state. ? Our website is on the back and they messaged us to let us know what a blessing that was to them.
We give God the glory! We won’t know until eternity how God is using our printing ministry to spread His glorious Gospel. ❤
We thought we’d share our blessing with you. God is good and faithful and to serve Him full time is our EXTREME honor! ?❤
I was BEYOND thrilled to meet at the mall the wonderful ladies and their families from the pregnancy center that I volunteer at. Lauren Bare and Kristen Miller are the sweetest ever and I cried when I met Kristen’s 2 adopted children for the FIRST time. They are precious!
We cannot believe that our little Janessa Ruth is already a HALF a year old! 6 months SURE did fly by and she brings our home IMMENSE joy!
Righteous / Bible Choices= Persecution 
Sinful / Worldly Choices= Consequences & Judgement. 
Let’s not confuse the two. -Jill Rodrigues
~ Ps 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. ~Ps 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. ~Ps 63:1 “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary” ~Ps 63:7 “Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” ~Psalms 14:1 “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
~Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” ~Ps 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. -What a GREAT God we serve! ~Ps 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. ~Ps 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. ~Ps 73:26 “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” ~Ps 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
I love these verses. He is the ONLY One that satisfieth the thirsting in my soul Jill
