I'm sorry that I've been sporatic here lately... after Monday, well, things didn't slow down.  I've felt terrible about not getting back to all of you.  I hope that you know how much I appreciate you stopping by my blog and letting me know how the challenge is going for you, as well as lifting me up in prayer and thinking of me.

I'm still pregnant... thank the Lord... seriously... I think this time I could wait until July sometime... I just really feel as if things are moving so fast around here lately that the baby will be here before we're "ready".  We're still talking about a name... nothing decided yet and it's driving me crazy...

I haven't forgotten about the magnets and contests... I feel just horrible that I haven't gotten those taken care of... I'm hoping to get to that this weekend and taking care of all three contests at once.  Thanks for being patient ladies.  I really hate not being timely, and had I known how crazy things were going to get, I wouldn't have done so many things, but The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge turned out to be quite the "deal"... I really can't believe how God is moving in the whole thing.  I'm excited to hear how you're all doing with it and will be asking for input when we're done.

Let's see... what else... I'm still in the process of getting the house finished for showings.  Just the thought of selling our home at this stage of my pregnancy gets me a little apprehensive, but my "motto" these days is... "God knows..." since I have no clue what is going to happen in our lives if we sell our home.  Seriously... I have no idea... we've prayed so long to be rid of our financial debt, and to sell our home would help, but after that... well, we really have no idea.  We just know that we can't be used how the Lord wants us if we have financial ties holding us back.  I keep praying for a motor home to just "show up" in our driveway (you know... I new 40 footer? a;lsfdja;sdlfja;sldf ... I mean, that would surely be a sign right?)  I have pictures to post of Monday and what my house looked like when we got the call for the showing... you really will die laughing...

Mike is still working on A Clean Heart website to get the magnets up for sale, as well as the 52 week devotional.  Yes, we're proofing and getting it ready to be sold  (I've found all kinds of typos and reference mistakes so I'm making those changes on the ones already posted as I can get to them).  There are other books (children's) that have been sitting on the sidelines as well, so we'll see where the Lord is leading all this.  Seems to be so much right now... we're trying to take things slowly, but that doesn't seem to be how things are winding up.

The Clean Heart, Clean Home Organizer is also getting revamped.  When I started with the idea, I had no clue of what it would become.  There are many typos to be fixed, as well as things to be added to make it one nice and neat organizer for anyone to begin at anytime (there have been many who have joined after April 1st... again... I'm just amazed).  So as I get that finished (probably not until after baby is here and the challenge is done) that will be available as well.

I've also started a curriculum about LOVE with my children that I'm so excited about!  I found that in doing "Boot Camp" with my kids, and then The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge, that the hearts are so important when homeschooling.  I really needed to find something that would bring that all together with my kids... so I'm in the process of doing that with my kids and will share more as I complete it.  I'm really excited to see what God has in store for that as well.  In today's world "love" is a term so over-used and this is biblically based to teach our children on very real levels, what love really is and how love is shown.
So... you can see... I really have been sluffing off and relaxing... asldjf;asdljf;sadlj.  Maybe I'll ask to stay in the hospital for a few extra days to get some rest... just kidding.  I really am sorry about not getting to comment on your blogs lately.  Please know that I'm thinking of you all and I'm so thankful for each of you and consider myself so blessed to be "meeting" all of you through this blog.  May you all have a wonderful Easter and take time to truly appreciate what Jesus did for each of us and how awesome is our God! 

God Bless each of you and your families!

In Him,
Amy
