I am not real sure why I have waited until now to write this post. It has been wrestling around in my head and heart for months now!   I guess it was the middle of last year that both E and I got this crazy tugging at our hearts...something from God about homeschooling. What????? Us???? Why Lord? NO WAY!   Oh, Yes, that is what we said to God. End of discussion, door slammed shut...dead bolt

Today, I was reading a blog post on www.steadymom.com, and the words written there validate just how I have been feeling! ...when contemplating organization...  Life with little ones is always evolving. Just when you think you have something figured out, the entire game plan changes, the phase passes, and there’s something new to tackle.  Today, these few short sentences gave me freedom and

I was forwarded this article today that connected with my soul. I am curious what it does for yours? A Counter-Cultural Quiet by Adam McHugh Tuesday, Dec 08, 2009For some people, the Advent season on the church calendar is one of the most anticipated times of the year. For some, there is no other time in which their love of God is stronger, there is no other time in which they are more aware of

I am sitting here, just having put my son to bed, listening to the presidential address... all I can think about is the advertising that keeps coming out of my tv all day. They speak words into my home that penetrate my heart. Victoria's secret...Victoria's secret show...it's getting hot in here, etc. Oh yes, tonight...while our president speaks about pulling out of the war, or not to pull out

Last weekend, we got the soon-to-be expected call that Eric's grandfather had died. The cancer that festered inside his body had finally taken him away from us. Although we were warned, we were somewhat expecting his death, it was still an awful call to get. The wonder, the worry, the overwhelming overflow of memories, explaining to your 2 and 4 year old why we aren't going to see grandpa in his

Have you ever heard this statement before or even thought of the concept? Of course, we all know that once the toothpaste comes out, it ISN'T going back in! That is the obvious result you will get when handing over the tube to your two year old with no assistance. (I don't recommend it)  I have to admit, I never heard anyone use this word picture or analogy before, but a few weeks ago, I was

Some of you may have followed a previous blog I had going with a very similar name. I have decided to start over...refill...with a brand new coffee cup. I am a completely different person now than when I wrote my previous blog. I still drink coffee, I still consider myself an addict, and I still write all my posts over a cup o' joe. The difference is, I am writing over a cup of DECAFF joe, with a
