OK, I am running around lkie a mad woman and trying to make everything work and come together! I feel like when I ignore the everyday stuff to take care of the extra stuff that the everyday suffers so tremendously that it makes focusing on the extra for even just a moment not even appealing or optional! Did any of that make sense?!? We are refinancing our house, and we have an appraiser coming on Wed. at 10 am. I feel like I must accomplish EVERYTHING to make just that perfect impression. But they really are not coming to evaluate the cob webs or the little finger prints on the windows from my dear little toddler, now are they!? Then why do I feel like this. Then, in an accidental pause, I hear this little voice speak- did you hear that!? I strain to hear-----" Be anxious for nothing". Who said that!? Is there someone in my house? I look around. I see no one except for kids trying to look like they are busy helping while they are actually trying to do what they want to be doing. I ignore it. I feel my stress level begin to rise and the attitude of my children feeding off of my attutude that is induced by the stress...........get the pic?.....and then I pause for a breath before I fall over. There it is again! "Be anxious for nothing". I think I better listen this time. I go to my bedroom and say, "Ok, Lord, I am listening." I was instantly clam. Isn't God amazing! Thank you Lord! I fell better now!

Posted by DandelionSeeds I feel just horrible that some thought I was "advertising" in some way when my intention was to share with other homeschoolers what I was offering as encouragement and a way for us to join together.
If you are one who was upset by my post, please feel free to delete it and email me or leave a comment on my page and I will personally apologize. To those who have joined in The Challenge, I'm so looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and hope we will all be able to bless our families and grow in the Lord through it! Thank you most importantly for seeing my heart. I never meant to disregard anyone's post when I left the comment about the Challenge, and want you all to know that anything you ever have to say to me, whether on topic or not, is more than welcome on my blog. I will also be making a new category on my blog that will list those of you who don't mind getting urgent prayer requests or information from time to time. I hope this way I will be able to avoid upsetting anyone similarly in the future.
Thanks for allowing me to comment on your blog. I hope you will accept my apology (and not be upset that I'm "off topic" from your post, but I have many people to get to still tonight).
In Him,
Amy Verlennich
