Walking Therein

Balancing Life

[Ok, I'm kidding myself... I haven't had the brain power to enthrall and wow a monkey for a couple of weeks now. Let's face it... if you're not mad at me and even still reading, I haven't even had enough brain power to make a definite decision on my dear little darling's name!!]

    [If you get The Old Schoolhouse magazine, there's just the article to read on seasons of friendships on p.40.  If you don't get the mag, get it. There are many many articles written by wonderful homeschoolers that you will want to read in addition to this one.]

Hey girl! I was just dropping by to say hello! I do know what you are talking about. I have dial up too! Yes...oh the wait! Then the disconnections or timeouts or bad gateways and on and on! Well, I can't wait to have 8 children, but with 2 little ones and one on the way, I still find myself busy. I am fairly new to blogging and you're right. It's a lot of fun...could EASILY take up a day if you let it. In fact, I am spending more time on here today than I should. I do try to post an entry each day, mainly because I have found it to be a great way to journal! I enjoy doing it and just copy off a print of the entry and add it to a little binder. I thought maybe the kiddos would enjoy reading about when they were young later! Well, today, I was just trying to visit a few people I haven't talked to in a while. So, hello! Good to hear from you! You're right. God is perfect and knows just what we need! Enjoy your day with your beautiful children.

Charity

you are amazing!!!

Balance really is the thing, isn't it? Seeking first the kingdom of God, abiding in Christ, ministering in your family to those He has given you and to those outside the family that He brings to you in one way or another. And yet don't over do it and wear yourself out unnecessarily. Laugh, have a little fun, enjoy the sunshine and all that He has given you. God's grace is sufficient and so you start where you are (does that make any sense?). And "if the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that..."

Thanks for a great post!

That's true, you do need to watch out how much time you spend on the computer. For me though, a bunch of my education is online. Lets see, I have writing, all of my blogs, math, life skills, my business, and a lot more.

I still think that it would be really fun to just take the computer and stick it somewhere where I couldn't get on it, or move to a place with no electricity. It would be really interesting to see what life without technology would be like. I think I would like to do that someday.

The main reason why I stopped by your blog is to tell you not to name the pixie Lillie, if you put the name together, Lilly Dixon doesn't sound good. At least that what I think Lucy, or Lucie would be much better. Lol, do you have any other names?

I also meant to mention that my husband is making a goat milking stand so it looks like someone will be milking. I know I can't commit to it during this seson of my life but I am excited to think of one day getting more involved. Right now I tend to the children and the home that is the best I can do.

This was a wonderful post, Jacque, and an encouragement to me. Life has surely become hectic here as well. The focus toward Christ is where I aim to be.... if that is what we seek, everything else will fall into place. That is the beauty of a life filled with the love of Christ!

Ok, I do have to admit, I do think of blog entries when I mow. I know that it's good for my body and everything, but if you or Eric want to come and mow our lawn, then I would be glad to let you! I also love to sing, but it's not really possible well pushing the mower, did I mention that there is no self propelled on this mower? Lol!

That is true, I've never really thought of that! She won't be Pixie Muffin Dixon for the rest of her life!

So this is a normal procedure? You usually take longer for boys?

Thanks for the compliment, I really try to keep my post biblicly sound, as non christiains do probably get on my blog.

Eric

P.S. Time to get the Pixie on your side bar!
