First day of school!!!!!   :)

This week I'll take all the kids to WalMart and get portraits done.  It's fun to see the changes each year.  Everyone's getting TALL!

Today I printed out the assignment sheets for tomorrow.  Went through each subject to make sure everything was there.  Got new chore cards ready. 

I'm getting up early tomorrow.  I want to exercise, shower, and eat before they all get up.  I also want to spend some time in prayer and stillness before the Lord.  Roy and I really want this year, our time homeschooling, to be glorifying to the Lord.  In the past I've not prayed about our studies specifically. They were just something we did.  But this year will be different.  This year I want to start our day knowing that I've put myself at the feet of God and presented myself in such a way that I can allow the Holy Spirit to work in me all day long.

And I pray hugely that I can have that meek and quiet spirit that God has called me to have!   When I have achieved that ....  well, it makes for a much smoother day with the children.  :)
