a Month…a whole month? REALLY? Tomorrow marks a month since I last posted , and it’s not because of a lack of want. it’s been a very crazy month and i wish I could say it was going to get better. Actually it will…..once we leave on vacations, but until then the month coming will hold some fun!
It had been a pretty focused month …and then it happened last week….I got sick. I have not been sick all winter…I would start down the cold road and then I would take extra vitamins and then Id be fine.My seeds That needed to be are all started…They aren’t really doing much BUT they are started at least!I had my laptop sitting next to last week, open all ready to write but my arms ached so BAD! I just rolled over and went to sleep.
So here are some of th things we have accomplished over the last month
- Little Bean turned 6
- Picnics
- Weasels’s 3rd quarterly report was written and sent in.
- Homeschool curriculum for grade 3 has been purchased and recieveed
- Letter of Intent to homeschool has been sent in
- Away has been completed
- we acquired a second set of college stdents (related to a class that they take in the special education degree) they spend 25 hours with a family over the course of a semester. For whatever reason the second set couldn’t finish out their hours with their assigned family so we were asked if we could fit in another set. this was a fourth semester participating in this program…a lot of this college kids don’t…or can’t connect but the group we had this semester really connected wonderfully with weasel…..they were simply amazing!
- My stack of reading is GOING NO WHERE FAST! I just had too many things going on at once, but soon I will have more time once homeschooling is done for the year.
- we (my Women’s Bible study group that I leadI) put on this AMZING Ladies Brunch….. And we are beginning to form the foundation of a a thriving women Ministry in our church. this was really time consuming, BUT it’s what I am called to do and I love it!
- we are getting ready to kick off our next ladies Bible study using Rest Assured By Vicki Courtney which I reviewed here a couple of months ago. I have fallen in Love with the book and it is beginning a 4 level Bible study series spanning 4 books
- Rest Assured
- The Best Yes
- Thrive
- Fervent
- and even though I have been silent on the blog, I have been writing. There is a blog series pending the release of Stacey Thacker’s book Fresh Out of Amazing. This series of blog posts has been shall we say….HARD! that seems like such an understatement.
- There have been people in my life who need me…not just my hubby and kids. I have some friends who are really going through some really hard things…unthinkable things. sad things. and I will be there for them. I made a determination a year ago that I would be that friend that God uses to be a light….(I write this as Michael W. Smith’s song I will be Here for You come on)
- We also have another Bible study meeting here in our home.
- and there are somethings I just can’t share. tThey quite possibly could require “new Normal’s” But we are willing. That’s really what God asks of us, is willingness. Usually based around our “i’ll never…” statements..
- Little Bean accepted christ as his Savior, then later that week, 3 young girls from our church followed suit! what an amazing blessing…Did I mention Little Bean accepted Christ on MOTHER”S DAY 🙂
- Hubby and I celebrated 13 years of marriage..while I was sick 🙁
- Tomorrow is Hubby’s Birthday!
Well there is a look inside our last month. You will be hearing more from me more often I have some really neat thing coming down the line including a weekly project Post, sharing my latest creations and a snapshot into my planner….I have been using The Happy Planner for the last 7 months and boy am I loving it. There will also be some Why I do what I do posts, inspired by Rest Assured and The Best yes, So won’t you Stay tuned in the coming days weeks and months as we jump into writing again! I promise It won’t be a month till you hear from me again !
Blessings
