Hi, I'm here again at last :-) my school room is nearly finished, I've kinda got a bit side tracked trying to sort out our bedroom before I get too big, as we're hoping for another home birth so got to make it suitable! The children seem to enjoy having the little room though I have to watch them because they are good at messing it up too!

I bought teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons, and I started it and it went well for about a week, then my eldest dd decided she didn't want to do it, so  I've decided to give her a couple more weeks and then try again, my ds wants to do it but he'll be 4 this month and a bit young I feel, as he gets bored about halfway through one lesson.

I went on a ladies weekend last week, well it was just one night, but it was really nice to be cooked for and not have to clean up and not to have anyone demanding your time, being able to fully particiapate in the services without worrying about children, and having some space all to myself. I love my children and dh but the break was really nice, I think we all need a bit of time sometimes to just get with God and let him sort out some heart issues, I also attend a bible study goup (CBSI) it's really good and we're studying Mark this year, the importance of spending time with Jesus before we can go out in His power is what really came across this week so I'm trying to make more of an effort to just spend some time being in His presence, prayerfully and doing my daily reading.                                                                      

Last night I read Psalm 139 (one of my favourite Psalms) and what really struck me anew was "how precious are your thoughts towards me O Lord, they are inumerable....all my days were ordained and written in your book before they came to be" How awesome, I've known this truth forever so to speak but God's really speaking to me through it at the moment - almost as if he's wooing me and drawing me back to himself as I feel life's got a bit on top of me this year and I'm not where I should be with God.  I've just been spending time thinking about this truth - God thinks about me all the time! Even when my dh or my dc or any other member of my family aren't thinking of me God is, His love for me is perfect and neverending, there is no wonder it is so easy to love Him back eh! Blessings
