I’ve been pondering this question after a series of less-than-positive e-mails surfaced recently in our homeschool’s group Yahoo loop. Apparently there was feedback from several people (who no longer participate in the group) that our group, now 60+ families, was unwelcoming and unsupportive to new homeschoolers. The question posed by the member who surfaced this […]
Back to Myself Again
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalms 90:12) Note to self: never write an extended entry when you’re tired. After that pity party, in which I managed to depress myself, I was able to get some sleep, feed myself scripture (like the verse above), and […]
Needing Something
I think I need a vacation from my vacation. We started school on last week, and I honestly wonder if I missed God on this one. Every day we’ve had a disruption of some sort, and with only one week of school under our belts, we are having what, for me, are too many nights […]

Many thanks to Tiany for this online event—I’ve learned a lot and I’m hoping to do the same for others! A short intro about you, how many blessings? How long have you been Homeschooling etc. Just in case this is someone’s first visit to your blog. I am a wife to a wonderful husband of 15-1/2 […]

Who Am I? (Lesson 7 of I Am…So You Don’t Have to Be)
I’m BAAAAAAAAACCCKK! I feel as if I’ve been away from "Blogland" forever, and I’ve missed the opportunity to check in on everyone and to update you on what has happened with me and the family. In reading through the next lesson of the "I Am" Bible study, I found the perfect marriage between my next […]
Feeling a Fresh Wind
11 comments is a record for me! You guys should slow it down, I might actually think that I have something to say (smile)! The last week or more has been busy, busy, busy. I will probably not take the time to write down everything that it has crossed my mind to blog for […]
Tagged by Singergirl
My daughter tagged me the other day, and this is one tag that I will make the time to respond to (thanks to the rest of you who understand that my intentions are good, but sometimes I simply run out of time. First, the rules: Every time you are tagged you must copy and paste […]
Here, Not in my Past (Lesson 6 of I Am…So You Don’t Have to Be)
This week’s questions: 1. How current is your God? Is he up to date on all your issues or do you have old hurts you still hold behind your back? 2. Has the enemy ever told you there are situations that are ‘old news’ that are better left stuffed down? Or perhaps because they were […]
Not Like I Planned, But Every Now and Then…
I wanted to be sure to take a minute and thank Keri Mae at AHappyHome for the Reflective Blogger Award, and also Bobbie and Lorri for the “You Rock” Awards. I will get around to nominating some others, but truthfully, I don’t get out much on the blogosphere—there is so much richness amongst my friends […]
There are only two times to praise Him–(Lesson 5 of I Am…So You Don’t Have to Be)
This week’s discussion questions were as follows: 1. Have you ever found yourself ‘in faith’ yet bewildered or demoralized? 2. Do you consider yourself content? Would you describe it as Decidedly Content or Dreamily Content? 3. If you are not content, are there circumstances that keep you from this feeling? 4. Have you ever found […]
Catching Up
Whew! I need a vacation from my vacation! Tomorrow I’ll hopefully get "out" and check on all of my blogger buds. I feel as if I missed alot! We’ve returned home from a combination year-end field trip/ sister’s retirement party/ visit with relatives vacation. Three states in eight days are hard, but it was […]
