AUGUST 10 ON 10



OKAY, what a day! Today was our very first day homeschooling. And it was a rocky start. The girls have years of  traditional school to unpack and I have my years as a teacher to unpack before this thing levels out. But tomorrow will be a new and better day! God has called us to this new adventure, this I know! He will equip the called, not call the equipped.
 
 
 
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.



Morning has come....



the hubs has hung my Mother's day gifts

ready to go




she can't read that she's not in school yet, so child 4 was happy just to hold a sign


guess who helped catapult the rocky start

 


she avoided naptime today but as you can see the whine was at a ALL TIME HIGH

dinner date with the hubs at my favorite place

so that time you have the neighbor girl watch the kids and she brings a giant bag of toys yet somehow your house looks like this after 3 hours. I am glad they had a good time!

SQUEEEEEE! My name is in Jen Hatmaker's new book "For the Love." just because you were on the Launch team. It comes out August 18, you must immediately order it or get it. It is a great book! I promise!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
