It should read Lions, and Tigers, and Bears OH MY!....but it doesn't.  Instead my life includes, chickens, gardens and horses.  But, I've got problems....at least "challenges" so, I thought I would put my "issues" into writing and ask for some advice!

Problem #1 - NOTHING is coming up in the garden!  It's been two weeks..and I've consistently watered...and nothing but GARLIC that was planted last fall has come up.  This didn't happen last year....so hat did I do wrong.

Problem #2 - My chickens are refusing to lay their eggs in the nesting boxes...and instead are finding the craziest places all over the barn and in boxes to lay their eggs...oh...and also below the roost...which makes finding the eggs in a timely manner......almost impossible.  HELP!

Problem #3 - My chickens keep digging little spots in the dirt (like little indentions in the dirt) where they can sit and keep cool I guess.  The problem is, they will even climb into my pots...WITH PLANTS IN THE POTS...and scratch out dirt and my plants in order to find a place to make their little "spot".

Problem #4 - We got a new horse...CHEROKEE...and we have had him two weeks.  He is wonderful...but SNERT is bullying him...and it is not calming down AT ALL.

Problem #5 - It is still dipping below freezing at night occassionally and that has cost me some flower plants.......ones that were SUPPOSED to be fine at even 40 below......so I don't get it.

Problem #6 - My barn cats keep making unseemly "deliveries" of their catches to my front door...and of course, eventually leave me the most "choice" parts of their catch to discover as I walk out the door.  GROSS!

Problem #6 - The "squishies" are making holes all over the pasture...which makes riding IN the pasture.....an adventure and I'm scared to death one of the horses is going to get hurt stepping into one of those holes.

Problem #7 - My barn cats, one especially, Ranger, will not stay away from the birds....and we LOVE birds.

Trivial issues...YES...I agree.....but hey, they ARE irritating! HA!

It is a GORGEOUS morning and a quiet one too! John is down in Denver attending the Republican State Convention as a delegate; Jordan just left to go to the conference:  Do Hard Things done by two of the Harris boys, and Jared is at a birthday sleepover and going bowling today with Cub Scouts.  THIS HARDLY EVER HAPPENS!  I'm home alone and in a house the size of ours.....  .....this is a real treat! 

It's been a great week.  I'm adjusting to "summer" quite quickly.  Yesterday I spent most of the day outside working in the garden and planting all the flowers that I bought when I was down in Denver on Thursday for traffic court.  (remember?...I did the ArtsatHome broadcast on location at Starbucks?)  It did my heart good to have my hands in the dirt again and working with beautiful colors.  I've been working hard on this rustic wildflower garden that John fenced for me last year.  It's coming together nicely and I'm looking forward to sitting out there with my morning coffee very soon.  However, I think I'll wait just a bit longer as earlier this week during my morning coffee time, we had a bear visit our house and make himself at home on our front deck.....even going so far as to stand on his hind legs and look through the door window.  Can you believe it?!  We've got the pictures to prove it...but I STILL can't figure out how to put them up on the site.  Hopefully, someone can help me with my technical challenges soon!

The morning I drove to Denver, in the first TWENTY minutes of my drive, I saw about 9 deer, 1 bear, a herd of elk and a herd of antelope.  Have I told you lately how much I LOVE living here?  I do have to admit that the coyote issue is driving me a bit crazy!  As I started Tuesday's broadcast of Beginning With The End In Mind, I was sitting at my writing table in front of the side window in the living room and when I looked up there was a coyote RIGHT BY the tree just a few feet from the house.  He was just walking by and my chickens were just calming watching him pass them.  It was really weird!

My thoughts this morning are still centering on change!  I'm facing alot of changes right now.  I think I've alluded to them in previous blogs.  I'm facing some huge changes within my work; I'm continuing to face changes as I continue to adapt to how and where we have chosen to live; I'm facing changes (not all bad) in friendships; I'm facing changes in seasons....and the list goes on, just like yours does I'm sure.  We talk alot about God being unchanging......       

and I know that to be true....and yet, HE does send US changes.  These changes are situations or people that we can struggle against.....or work with!  In other words, God uses change to refine us to be more like himself.  God uses change to accomplish his plan in our lives.  God uses change to get us out of our comfort zone and encourage us to grow in areas in which we need to grow. 

I find that I'm miserable and frustrated when I struggle against the change.  Why do I do that?  Why do I try to control things that are beyond my control?  I certainly am aware that I do NOT like the unknown.  It's not that I don't like adventure or even risk....I just like to take CALCULATED and planned risks.  My "trust factor" needs to be stronger and I need to trust that GOD is control and that HE knows the unknown.  I need to rest in his unchanging character during the CHANGES that I have to face.  SO, I guess you could say that this week, I did better in resting....and not struggling and chafing against the changes that I'm facing.  I tried to be more flexible and definitely tried to trust more.  What is that saying?  "Blessed are the flexible....for they shall bend, but not break."

I'm so thankful that God keeps me in the palm of His hand and that "HE that hath begun a good work...will complete it."   So, I'm going to choose to enjoy this "beautiful morning."  Who knows...I may even break into that great song from the musical "Oklahoma" and start singing....."Oh What A Beautiful Morning." 

This is the day that the Lord hath made...I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Faith and Courage,

Lori

One time, John and I won a trip to some resort in Arizona.  While there, we had the opportunity to participate in a leadership activity...otherwise known as some sort of ropes course.  When I found out that part of that "opportunity" included climbing to the top of a pole....and while strapped to some type of safety cord......I would be asked to jump out and off the pole in order to latch onto another rope and swing to another source of firm footing.......

    As you might imagine, when I realized what I was going to be asked to do, I conveniently found something else to fill my day and my time.  John, however, went with the group and participated.  He came back totally pumped and exhilarated and almost made me feel like I'd missed something.  Almost!

    Today I found myself thinking back to that missed opportunity and wondering once again what it would have felt like if I had pushed myself beyond my comfort zone...if I had trusted the instructors....if I hadn't been afraid of falling.....if I hadn't been afraid of letting go of one thing in order to gain another.  What would it have felt like to "free fall"?

     Do you think God sometimes asks us to experience the feeling of "free falling"?  Does He ask us to jump off and out on sheer faith that we will somehow make it to the other side safely?  Do you think He expects us to jump even when we can't feel his presence right beside us ready to catch us?  Every once in a while, I get the feeling I'm supposed to leap out....and yet, when I glance down, I see my knuckles white with terror and anxiety, trying to keep myself from falling much less jumping.  I see my hands and arms wrapped tightly around what I DO know and not being willing to experience the UNKNOWN.  

    Funny...I've always thought of myself as an adventurous sort of girl.  One that is willing to take risks.....but I guess that is true only to a certain extent.  Sometimes fear seems to grip my heart.....fear of the unknown takes over and keeps me from experiencing all that God has for me.  Oh ME of little faith! Yet, it is so much more comfortable and even COMFORTING to stay with what I know I can count on and the things I've grown to expect.

    However, I find myself once again feeling like I'm being asked to jump.  To let go...and Jump!  To free fall with no expectations of the future but a trust in the one who holds the future.   Wow...that takes courage......!!!!!  Anyone out there feeling the same way?

Faith AND Courage,

    After rearranging and cleaning the family room, I sat down to work on my 15 year olds transcripts and portfolio for the year.  Once again I was amazed by the non-standardized.....standardized requirements.  For example,  Georgia has just "upped" their credit requirements for their HS students again....now requiring 4 maths, 4 sciences and 3 foreign language I believe.  However, they continue to be one of the lowest ranking states, ranking 48th in SAT scores.  In Colorado, they have just "upped" their requirements to just three maths, three sciences and just now 2 foreign language I THINK, and yet, they currently rank 17 in SAT scores. However, Jordan's portfolio will be reviewed in Maine and the requirements for a HS diploma from that state are completely different yet again.

     Of course, since we live in Colorado, I will be sure that my 15 year old completes all requirements for this state as well as any college that he is interested in attending....but, I'm trying to make a point.  The point being.....requirements for a HS diploma vary from state to state and in some cases, from school district to school district within that state.  From looking at the way the standardized test scores vary from state to state, it looks like the requirements for a HS diploma have very little to do with how well the students do on their standardized testing.

    In my humble opinion, these facts make a great supporting argument for individualizing the approach to a child's education to meet HIS specific needs rather than teaching to the masses or the lowest OR highest common denominator.  It also is a great supporting argument for home schoolers who wish to study their child.....and to walk a path that may be different from those around us who are more than happy to share their opinion about OUR children with us.  We cannot be driven by fear of "requirements"....each child is unique and must be taught according to his "bend", gifts and weaknesses.

    This "individualized" approach takes time to really know your child......to find what works best for your child, and to listen to your child.  I would love to hear some comments from some of you on ways you have found that have helped you to individualize your approach to teaching your children. Perhaps you have had some individuals discourage you from this approach.....perhaps you have caved to "fear" from time to time...perhaps you are finding joy in the journey.  Whatever the case...we would love to hear from you on teaching to the Heart of your child.

Faith and Courage,

Lori

I love the story of Nehemiah.  It never ceases to encourage and inspire me. Yet, at this point in the year, somehow, even with the "end" in sight, I find myself battling with discouragement. I'm sure all the SNOW still on the ground doesn't help my state of mind, or yours either for that matter.  However, I seem to be especially vulnerable to the attacks of individuals around me.  It could be the criticism of how I handled a rehearsal, a criticism of my skills, a criticism of mothering or how I run my household, or even a criticism of my choices in homeschooling.  Why am I more vulnerable at one time over another time.

Although I'm still in the midst of this "vulnerability", I think the answer is probably very simple.  Sometimes it is hard to separate the fact that even when I WANT to do things to honor and glorify God, I still hope that those around me will be pleased with the results, with me, and with my methodology and choices.  I want them to UNDERSTAND me, accept me, flaws and all.  It is even more discouraging when the criticism becomes mean and personal or even worse comes from a brother or sister in Christ.  Yet, there are times those criticisms bounce off like they should and there are other times when the arrows pierce all the way to the heart. 

Here are a few things that I think will help me get back on track, I hope they will help you too!

1.  My focus must constantly be maintained on Christ alone!  He is the ONLY one who will NOT disappoint or disillusion me.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

2.  I need to take care of myself and realize when I need some rest and not feel consumed by deadlines, the expectations of others, or even the expectations that I have of myself.

3.  When feeling discouraged and disillusioned, instead of first trying to find an earthly friend to talk with, I should run straight into the arms of my heavenly Father who holds me securely in the palm of his hand.

Wow....just reminding myself of this makes me feel at least a bit more hopeful.  I hope you find your "hope"  in Christ alone today and everyday!

Faith and Courage,

Lori

This past weekend I experienced quite a wakeup call.  Literally! 

I got up early on Saturday morning because it was going to be a full day of family and of course, production rehearsals.  When I opened my email to double check on some things, I found myself face to face with a situation that I was literally flabberghasted by.  I guess it was one of those times when you come face to face with a different worldview, a different belief foundation than your own and it affects what you are doing, your relationships and even your approach to communication.

Bottom line, I was faced with a situation in which people that I was working with (not MAFA) wanted to make a decision based on emotion and expediency.  However, the decision that they wished to make was not theirs to make number one, and number two it was not based on principle. 

A meeting was held to discuss the situation and the pending decision.  It was interesting to watch how an argument based on principle was something that others found difficult to argue against.  However, it was also obvious that a decision based on principle as opposed to one based on emotion and expediency was a new paradigm for some of the people present.  It almost seemed that to make a decision based on principle was a totally new concept for some of them. 

Unfortunately, the world is full of people who are easily tossed to and fro on every wave of doctrine, emotion and situation.  Although it was challenging to take a stand, I was reminded once again, that to operate on principle, Biblical principles, is a strong testimony and a consistent testimony to those around us.  Sometimes in the past, I have found myself easily "tossed about" when I allow my emotions, or specific situations to cloud my judgement and discernment rather than operating on principle.  I pray that I will continue to try and ground myself in God and in His word so that I will stand firm on HIS principles and HIS priorities.

Sometimes I absolutely LOATHE the internet, email and all that comes with technology.  It seems so invasive at times.  Yet, there are other times, like today when I just can't get enough of it.  There is something exciting about being able to have the world at your fingertips especially when it comes to homeschooling......

We are in the middle of studying Ancient Rome and I have been able to instantaneously download lapbook projects, unit studies and much more using the internet.  It's a good thing too...since we are receiving a second foot of snow in the past four days making going to get anything pretty much an impossibility. 

Despite the snow, spring fever has set in with all of us so I needed to change up our approach to studying just a bit in order to keep our interest level high enough to continue.  Today, in one of the unit studies I downloaded we have been visiting websites that take us through Roman architecture and on virtual tours of Rome.  Since we leave for Rome on a "Field Trip" with Master's Academy in less than two weeks, the subject has become even more exciting.

I thought I would pass some of these links on to you just in case you are approaching your study of history by specific time periods.

Building Big:  Shapes Lab    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/lab/shapes.html

Roman Open Air Museum  http://www.villa-rustica.de/tour/toure.html

Tour of Rome Monuments:  http://www.virtualrome.com/rome/monuments/index.html

Oh....and by the way.....be sure to check out the book review section on the site www.theendinmind.net  You will see it listed on the right hand column.  This will take you to a link where I am listing all the books I have used and loved over the years in our homeschooling using a time period and arts related approach.  I haven't reviewed them all yet, but I have at least gotten them all "rated".  

You may be asking, what in the WORLD does THIS blog have to do with "beginning with the end in mind".  Well, when it comes to educating and training our children, books, websites and so much more can all help us in our journey.....but then, that's fodder for another blog on another day.

For those of you enjoying spring weather, think of us out here with four feet of snow on the ground and be sure to send us a comment now and then.

Faith and Courage,

It’s funny in which areas I find it easy to be flexible and areas in which I can find it VERY challenging to be flexible.  There have been times when I have felt great satisfaction at my ability to flex and yet other times when I feel that if I have to flex or bend anymore I will absolutely break into a million pieces.  In analyzing those more “challenging” times, I have to admit that the “more challenging” areas are areas in which I really to control the outcome.  How foolish of me to think that I can ultimately control any outcome!  Sure, I need to plan, schedule, pray and work, but ultimately, the outcome of anything and everything I do is in God’s control.

This morning I was talking with a dear friend of mine and as we talked I was reminded once again of how much we push ourselves even beyond acceptable limits so that we can stay ahead of the game.  Then, one morning, or more likely, late one night, we begin to realize we have been out of sync and out of balance for too long.  Why?  Because we are pushing ourselves more than anyone else would EVER push us and because we cannot accept our limitations of time and energy.  SO, what do we do when the “to do” list is so long that there is no way humanly possible to get it all done.  The key word in that phrase is humanly possible.  If God has given us specific priorities as women, are we confident that He can do all that we need him to do above ALL that we ask or think?  Are we confident that God will work in and through us and our limitations to bring HIM the ultimate glory for the solutions and outcomes of our “to do” lists?

As my friend and I talked about all that was weighing on our hearts and minds this morning, I began to realize that same passage in Proverbs 3:5-6.  “Leaning NOT on our own understanding”, isn’t just about making decisions, it is about relying on GOD for the wisdom on what to do when, and what to flex on and leave until later, or what to delegate to others.  God does not reward us for “leaning on our own understanding” or on our own abilities.  He wants us to stay focused on our priorities, on our God-given desires for the right end result with our marriages, our families, and our ministries.  That being said, if something needs to “wait” until a more appropriate time so that we can stay focused on our God-given responsibilities and priorities, then GOD will take care of the outcome of our decision to stay true to HIS principles. 

Wow!  That’s so much easier said than done.  ESPECIALLY, when the to do list is just another name for people waiting on us for answers, direction, progress and much more.  With people’s expectations and demands lurking behind our “to do“ list, being flexible can be very challenging.  Even harder, is the fear that often lurks behind our motivation to stay ahead of the game.  What if parts of our lives or our ministries  fall apart or are delayed as a result of our not being able to keep up?  The responsibility we feel for these areas is very real.  Although it is good and necessary to feel that responsibility, who are we kidding to think that things will fall apart if we have to flex with some deadlines or expectations?  Let’s be real!  God doesn’t need any of us.  IF something is important enough to God that it has to be done right now, and it isn’t something that HE has enabled us with time and energy to do WHILE taking care of our families, then HE can and HE WILL find another way to fulfill HIS purpose. 

IF we can keep that in mind, some of the pressure and frantic fear we feel will subside.  Remember the story of Jesus in the boat with the disciples!  The disciples were caught in a storm and the boat was filling with water FAST!   The disciples were frantic with fear and even frustrated with Jesus for SLEEPING in the boat.  What were Jesus words:  “Peace, BE STILL”.  Obviously, Jesus was talking to the storm but I have a feeling that his words were also directed to the disciples.  Jesus had control of that storm, the wind, the waves AND the boat the entire time. 

The last few days I’ve had a very uneasy and almost nervous feeling.  John kept asking me if I was worried about something and of course, I couldn’t figure out what was bothering me.  It has been a very busy two months and I KNEW I was feeling the effect of that busyness.  However, it was more than that.  I was trying to control my time, my energy, my relationships ALL BY MYSELF once again.  When will I ever learn.  I can’t be everything to everyone!  I can’t do everything at once.  I have to flex…I have to have patience with myself…but more importantly, once I prioritize, I MUST leave the outcome with God himself and trust that if I’m doing what I can do within HIS priorities, that HE WILL INDEED take care of the rest.  My “to do” list has not gotten any smaller today, but I am going to take some things off my plate in order to get a “grip” on some other areas.

For example:

                Jordan and John have both been sick over the past couple of weeks.  John is still sick and Jordan is still not up to par.  Jared and I have been traveling on our lovely field trip to Boston.  Put all of that together, and despite the fact that I have all my plans for our home school planned out for the rest of the year, everyone is at loose ends regarding being able to focus.  Solution:  TIME FOR SPRING BREAK!  

                The minute I decided to let the boys have some “break” time which would allow me some time to rest and restructure after this period of travel, I felt some relief.  Yes…school will ultimately get done…but it can’t be done while I’m feeling at “loose ends”.   The boys are happy, I’m happy and when MAMA is happy…dad is happy as well…even if he does have a fever.

                I’ve had a ton of meetings that I’m supposed to be having the past week or so.  In looking at them, they were ALL important and even seemed urgent.  However, I also knew that I did not have the brainpower because of my traveling to focus on the subjects at hand and make those meetings worthwhile.  Thus, I notified everyone that I was delaying the meetings.  Guess what!  NO ONE got mad at me.  In some cases, they had been feeling the same way I had and were relieved that we had a little more time to get our thoughts and notes together.

                I’m directing the community theater’s spring musical and we are NOT on schedule as far as I’m concerned!  I’ve been feeling stress and frustration on every level!  WHY?  I haven’t had time or at least taken the time to really focus and get organized on this production.  I’ve been allowing myself to be tossed “to and fro”.  Solution:  set aside some time to lay out a plan…and then work the plan!  RESULT:  I’m still concerned…..but more peaceful…if that makes sense!   

Faith and Courage,
