Today I officially started Home School!!!

Today Cayla read all on her own for the first time, about 6 short sentences, It was so awesome! I am so so blessed to have such a smart child to start this Home School adventure with, she learns so quickly, it is probably more an encouragement to me then then to her. It just blows me away because I had to go to kindergarten twice, and she is starting kindergarten at a first grade level! Thank you Jesus!

So yeah, I have not posted in forever, it is partly because I have had nothing to share, well, that’s worth sharing any way. I have also been so incredibly busy with these kids of mine, still trying to find a balance some how. Spiritually I have been in a really hard place, my circumstances have not really changed, yet my walk with the Lord has. He is always faithful to me, but it is me who is prone to wonder. I at times forget that his ways are better, always better, and I decide to do what I foolishly think is right, kinda like my 3 and 5 year old often say, “I wanna do what I wanna do”, and yet I am 30.

So after the Lord has allowed me to hit a wall or two or ten, I decide that maybe he is right after all, better late then never , right? So I start to the path of obedience, coming from disobedience, finally allowing doors to close that I have been holding open through my own failing strength, changing my priorities, that have gotten way messed up, and I have just simply stopped, and have been taking a good O’ll look at the reflection in the mirror.

Recently I have went through this amazing study through Psalms 23 with Nancy Leigh Demoss (podcasts), the Lord is MY shepherd! It has been the personal reminder, of who my Lord is to me , that i desperately NEEDED to pull my soul out of the pit I had fallen into. I am so thankful that he alone is my Redeemer, my Savior, my good Shepherd, and he pursues me even when I go my own way, because he loves me.

So today, yeah, today was a good day, the first one in a while, I am so thankful for this day!

I will try to be better about posting, BUT…. my first priority WILL be my kids, so we’ll see, I’ll just say this, If the Lord allows :)

Even though I may walk through the deep dark valley I shall fear no evil, for you, My God, are with me. Your strength, O Lord, shall be my only comfort. Your goodness and your mercy pursue me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of my Lord forever!

May the Lord be my ONLY vision!
