Homeschooling Is Life! - A Beautiful Memory ~ and an Invitation!

• Nov. 8, 2008 - A Beautiful Memory ~ and an Invitation!

When I was a little girl there was someone who appeared in my little world that God used in a very special way. I know that many of us have that special "someone" or even more than just one. This person was a dear "little old lady" who really wasn't that old when I first met her, but she became a wonderful friend and teacher. I've spoken about her, written a tribute to her and am still in awe of the Lord and how He brought her into my life and the lives of many people I may never meet...this side of heaven!

I have an opportunity to share more about her this coming week! Her name was Shelley Abbott, a musical missionary and neighbor of mine many years ago. On Thursday, I will be participating in the "Girlhood's Cherished Moments" audio conference with Jill Novak and sharing "Grandma Abbott's" heart with you. Please join me! It is free and I'd love for you to tune in.

There are several wonderful workshops and talks, so please don't miss it. Gather up your kids Wednesday and Thursday and grab your handwork and notebooks and listen in. It will be such a wonderful couple of days!

Oh, and please pray for Jill and all the Girlhood speakers as she brings this resource to you! It takes a lot of prayer and thought and work to make these things happen.

You will find the info for getting online with us below.

Please make sure you get on at the right time for your time zone!

I hate I missed this. It was one of those days, including running Daniella to a craft class.

I so enjoyed hearing your talk today on Jill's conference line. I was so beautiful and made me all warm and fuzzy inside. Moments of tears and laughter filled our home during this time of your story-telling. Thank you so much~Nancy King kingskreation.net

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 17, 14, 12 and 10 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
