Wow.  I don't have much time, but I knew I had to write this.  I was over on a friend's blog the other day and she had a post about the grass always being greener somewhere else....but what if you then find out its astroturf!  It really made me think.  We have not been content with our house.  Even my three year old has caught the bug....she said "we need a new house" the other day.  Then today I was talking to another wonderful pastor/homeschooling family who is expecting their seventh baby.  I told him that we were praying for a bigger house.  He said, "remember, your house is twice the size of ours!  Don't forget to be content with what God gives you."   Ouch.  THEN, for some odd reason I get the Alpha Omega email devotional (I don't use their curriculum).  Today's topic was being content!  Ugh.  I guess God thought that I have been really dense lately.  He had to hit me over the head 3 times, not once! 

So....instead of praying for a bigger house I am now asking God to make me content.  I am also asking God to give me the creativity to make our house more organized and run smoother.

Sorry ladies, just because I am an author of homeschooling books....doesn't mean that I have everything together.  God's still working on me too!
