Just the Beginning

Well, let me first start by introducing myself. I am Diane Marcengill. I am married to the christian singer "Russell Dean". We have 4 children: Brandon 22, Michelle 19, Isaac 7, and Cade 4. They keep life fun and interesting all the time. I will post more about them with pictures as soon as I learn how and I have a little more time.

We have always homeschooled/unschooled our children. That is a learning process in itself. I have learned way more since I graduated and started introducing the world to the children than I ever did in school. Who knew history, science, and reading could be so fun! We believe in a natural approach to life and I believe learning is as natural as breathing. If children are raised in a home where interesting things are around and are happening, they will be curious and will learn. We have witnessed it over and over. Children are naturally curious and they want to do whatever you are doing so the best way we can teach is by example. Always be curious and interested and they will be as well.

Our newest adventure is that we are selling our home and most of our belongings and we are moving into an RV and we will be traveling full time with the ministry. We are not sure exactly when or where will be the first destination. We are leaving the details up to God. We are just trying to be obedient. We are all excited about this next chapter in our life. I will keep you updated as things start to develop.

This past weekend was incredible. We had the opportunity to go to Shelby, NC in the ice and snow. Russ had to sing at Landmark Baptist Church sunday morning and night. We had a great time playing in the ice with a little snow mixed in. The christmas service was a great blessing. Pastor Allen and his wife, Elaine, were very gracious hosts. We look forward to visiting them again some time next year.

I will try to keep pictures and activities posted on a regular basis but anyone who knows me well will know it will probably be sporadic. Thanks for reading this long post!
