Gatherings

Here’s what’s happening in my kitchen…My big success is that I actually went grocery shopping and bought more than 2 days worth of food! I am considering making a “cooking schedule” so that the kids can help me with the cooking. Right now there’s a chicken roasting in the oven.
With the children…They are [...]

Yesterday, as my 1rst-3rd grade Sunday School class came in the classroom door, before everyone was even seated, they began to offer up prayer requests and praises. You’ve gotta smile; I did. Somewhere in there you know someone is going to have a concern over a family pet, a request for the healing [...]

Yesterday, on February 1rst, it immediately occurred to me that I had survived homeschooling in January!! It can really be the hardest month in the homeschool year.
Before I even realized it, I was already getting back in the groove and accelerating our days. I have a little method I use:
September-October: Get the cobwebs out [...]

It’s Thankful Thursday…and I am THANKFUL! I was thinking how God’s teaching this old dog (me!) new tricks! The picture above is our dog. Christian recently taught him to walk on the treadmill a little. He doesn’t love it but he’ll do it as he aimlessly chases the treat ahead of him. He’s [...]

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.” Psalm 23:2-3a

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17

~Watching snow fall.
~Knowing it’s [...]

This picture is of my little sanctuary. I’ll explain more about it in a minute…
Well, it’s January. That’s a very significant statement to most homeschoolers. If you’re asking “why?” I’ll explain for your sake. It’s because, for most of us, January is the hardest month to homeschool!! We’ve been homeschooling since September, we’re [...]

I Celebrate the Day
~Relient K

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You’ve touched my life

Because here is where You’re finding me, in the exact same place as New Year’s eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We’re less [...]

I have been blogging for quite some time. I can’t tell you how long ’cause I don’t know but it could be measured in years. This is actually my 3rd blog. Every once in awhile I feel the need (whether I follow that need or not) to just remind the world that my world ain’t [...]
