A PERIOD OF SILENCE

I have been absent for a while.  Life has been busy, but life has been sweet.  Some things have just had to be put aside, and the blog was the first to go.  

I am desperately trying to soak the moments in with my children, who just don't stop growing up for some reason.  The other day, all 4 of them had discovered popsicles left by some special people in our outside freezer.  Each one had their favorite color and was sitting on the picnic table enjoying a really hot summer day.  I looked out my kitchen window and forced myself to stop what I was doing and go outside.  Surrounded by tomatoes and heaps of dirty pans from canning, I opened the door and sat on the step and just stared at them, soaking in the moment.... one I didn't let slip away.  There have been so many I have.

School has started back up.  It's going very well considering I have officially added Aden to the schedule this year.  They are learning so much.  I am thankful for the opportunity I have to stay home, teach them & train them up in the Scriptures.  It is a huge task, but one I know I will never ever regret doing!  Our verse for the year is Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You!"

Guess that's it for now, but I do hope to write more... I'm realizing how much I have missed it.
