Where do I begin?

As I try to write a new and much needed entry, my mind goes blank!  What do I write about?  My life seems so uneventful compared to so many of you out there.  Although, uneventful is what I like.  I yearn for a relaxed and easy-going life style.  Although relaxed is something I have yet to accomplish.  I find myself stressed over day to day issues, and the future.  I don't like it when I feel my life could change at any moment and I have to totally trust God for tomorrow.  What do I mean??  My husband is very unhappy in his job (as I am also for him) and is actively looking for something else.  And in his line of work, this new job could take us anywhere in the U.S.  My selfish side gets in the way when I think of my beautiful home that I fear having to lose if we have to move.  I don't like change...although I should be used to it by now.  We have lived in 4 states and  moved about 10 times in 13 years of marriage.  Now let me say, not one of those moves has been a bad one.  In fact, they have all been a great adventure and experience.  So why would I doubt that God could have something better for me?  He's never let me down before!!!!  I am grateful that my husband has a job and at least we are not unemployed or without a home while actively and desperately looking for a new job.    I am constantly praying that God would help me to be the strong, supportive, loving wife that I need to be right now, regardless of my own fears and struggles. 

Oh boy.....that was a load off.  Maybe I just needed to vent.  I hadn't planned on going into all of that.  As far as school goes, it seems to be going good so far.  This week will be our 4th week.  The girls are trying to get back into the swing of things.  We are reading alot of 'living books' and enjoying everything we have read so far.  History is so much more interesting and fun when you read a living book versus a boring text book with the facts just regurgitated (did I spell that right?) back to you.  If we could just read fun books all day for school, I would be happy!!!  Actually, I guess we really do, besides our math and typing.  Hmmmm!!  Guess that's why I think school is so much fun!!!  Well, now that we are back into a routine, I hope to keep this going and current.  It feels good to put my thoughts out there again.
