Ok, here is some real truth, I am burned out!!  I tried to turn up the fire a few months ago, and so much has been going on that I just feel drained.  I guess I am going on out of obedience.  I love my children dearly, and care about their minds and spirits.  The "fun" school ideas, games, songs and all the rest has kind of puttered out.  I do not like that, and wish I was able to be refreshed or a fire put under me (one or the other-whichever works) because these days with them are short.  I know these are the fun, creative days, and they will soon be over.  I am exhausted with the drama of life's events....just tired.  I pray for refreshing.  A fire under me is just too much to deal with.  Does anyone else go through this?  Maybe it is because it is spring, and so many other things are going on....  Well, theres the truth.  Maybe, with God's help I can climb up out of this time period of frustrations and searching.  At His feet, Melissa
