Prayer & Organizing...

<p>This morning I woke up wanting to finally get our home better organized.. Well, I say better organized- what that really means, is that I am not organized at all so I've decided to organize our home! I should have done this before now but for some reason I have just been living with the clutter. I havent been motivated enough to get started until now. I used to do things so differently. I figured I wouldve had a groove by now but I havent even applied myself to be honest. I get distracted very easily. Why I felt the need to start this organizing right now is beyond me. My youngest sister is having her baby shower on July 21st and I am in charge of making the diaper cake, diaper monkey, blankets, and paper palm trees in.. Drum roll please........ ONE WEEK!!!! Yea, overwhelming right? So, I have my craft pantry in order and half of my room done. Now that I think about it, it doesnt seem like much BUT its a start! *Dont dis-credit yourself if it's not happening as fast as you'd like, atleast your getting something done!* I have been praying for God to grant me motivation to get my priorities done first. I even asked our pastor to pray for me about focusing better.

I should also be praying that I get everything accomplished right on time... Back to work I go!

Homeschool or Not?

Well, I have not seen my blog in a month short of 2 years. So much has happened since my last post. On March 19th of 2011 my husband and I got married. Noah did absolutely wonderful in Pre-K and that much better in Kindergarten. Katelyn is in Middle school and Glen will be going to the 4th grade. They have done wonderfully with their grades and have adjusted fairly well in the new environment of a blended family. Don't get me wrong, we have had our fair share of issues so far, and are sure to have more in the future, just as any other family will. The main thing we have going for us is our relationship with God and being able to talk with eachother.

This school year I am still debating on homeschooling my son. I have researched, prayed, worried, had heated discussions, voiced my opinions and listened to opinions from others. For some reason I just cannot shake wanting to homeschool him. There's a part of me that worries the education I give him wont be good enough, then the other part worries that the public school will have him around issues and other children that can influence him wrongly, public schools also dont teach children the importance of having a relationship with Christ. I feel as if I am supposed to be his teacher, I would love to teach him different things and just watch his little mind work. Please dont misunderstand me, I am not in anyway saying that school isnt good, because it is. I have friends that have flat out told me they could not homeschool their children because they do not have the patience for it. I believe I can do it, I'm not ignoring the fact that it would be challenging, but I know that with the strength of God I can do anything. I deeply desire doing what God wants me to do, knowing what would be best for Noah, for Katelyn and Glen also, but I'm not 100% in charge of their lives like I am for Noah. Their lives are extremely important to me, but I am not at liberty to make any decisions like this for their lives. If it were up to me I would homeschool them all. So, I am going to be praying for God to reveal what it is that I need to be doing.


On another note: My sister had her baby on July 3rd... I am officially Aunt!


Until Next time! Be Safe
