The idea to keep busy was a pretty good one, because right now the house is looking cleaner than it has in a while, and I seem to be somewhat motivated to keep things in order. We have been to two library progams this week. The Creature Teacher, and a South African Folk Singer. Both were great programs, and I am so thankful that I live near so many great libraries that have free summer programs. I am actually enjoying the summer reading program, and I never really did as a child.
I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
