Homeschooling Is Life! - Greetings and some housekeeping~

Hi Blogging friends!

I've been so busy that I am not always able to get on here and take care of blog business. I hope to be able to catch up on that in the next ten minutes!

I said I'd give away some Ebooks this month, and am a little behind on that too. If you have left me a comment recently with your email address, be looking for a download in your inbox. If you would like to have a free copy of "Haircuts For Little Men" please let me know. I know we can all use a little help now and then, and if you are up to the challenge of learning how to do haircuts at home, it can really save you some money.

We've got several friends who are struggling in this crazy-wacked out economy and I'd like to tell you about at least one of them who has a great idea and a website where you can help out. Go here and see how keeping CHRIST in Christmas might help out a family who needs it.

Other than that, please keep us in prayer while we deal with a crisis in our extended family. Just pray.

When it rains it pours, and I don't mean Morton's salt! However, just thought that might make a really good spiritual lesson, when life rains down adversity, the Lord will help you as you remain in Him, and be salt (and light) in these situations.

Please continue to pray for Jessica Hulcy and her recovery. If you aren't getting her updates through caringbridge, you are missing seeing God move and also the blessing of her family as they chronicle this amazing journey. She still has a lot of recovery to go through, but God is doing amazing things. Keep her in your prayers.

Also, my friend over at UnderTheSky could use your prayers also. She's a gal who I worked with for several years over the internet, but we've never met in person! But she's been there for me when things were tough here, both spiritually speaking and in practical ways.

We are hoping here to have a peaceful weekend, and know that with the Prince of Peace we can have that. I pray that He will give you that peace also, even if it seems impossible in light of what is going on in YOUR life today. He can and will do it.

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. "

John 14:27

Blessings!

Yes, haircuts are expensive! I've been the Painter Family Barber since about our 2nd year of marriage. Our boys have never had their hair cut by anyone else. I do understand about extended family chaos and will pray peace and wisdom for y'all!
Blessings,

Thanks for the offer of the "Haircuts" book, but I think someone else might utilize it more. I'm a "clippers" kind of home barber... and haven't used scissors in years (except to hack on my own hair).
Blessings,

Be Blessed!

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.
