Jan. 20, 2008 - Better Late Than Never
"Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise"
It sits there on my list.....It stares at me...haunting me even.....my resolution that in '08, I would start a blog! Why am I so stinkin intimidated???? I'm sure it is the perfectionist in me. What if I don't do it "good enough?" And a touch of the self-doubter as well...will they like me even?? Did you hear that??? I just stepped out of my comfort zone! 
Well, I wish I could say that I have "arrived' in the world of homeschooling. But the truth would be that this whole blog thing was finally executed simply because I am about to lose my mind right now! I am seriously struggling since the holidays and can't seem to get out of my "rut.' And obviously my kids are in the same rut because they all of a sudden act as though it is the summer break and books are out the window. We butt heads daily it seems. I said I am struggling...but I am not waving any white flags just yet!
"For I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" Phil 4:13
First of all, I have to remind myself that no, Talysa can't do this....but God can through me if I surrender.
Secondly, this is my third year homeschooling my three children....not too bad! 
I must learn to focus on my past success not my in the moment struggles.
Thirdly, my kids are great kids, wonderful kids, and their poor attitude is probably just a reflection of my own these days.
Lastly, I have hope! I have great people like yourself! The advice I have recieved on this site has been priceless!
So, you see, this is actually divine intervention. I need encouragement and help daily so God has given me the strength to attain my goal.....to become a part of your community of fellowship.
Did you hear that??? (squeals of excitement) I'm a blogger!
