ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I LAST POSTED AN ENTRY..SEEMS TO BE THAT WAY FOR ME.   I LAST POSTED ABOUT THE LITTLE GIRL NAMED ANGELA THAT WE TOOK INTO OUR HOME BECAUSE HER PARENTS ARE IN JAIL.  SHES BEEN HERE NOW FOR ALMOST 5 MONTHS.   SINCE I LAST WROTE SHES BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CROHNS DISEASE.   WHICH IS A DISEASE WHERE THE IMUNE SYSTEM IN THE INTESTINES GOES HAYWIRE AND ATTACKS IT SELF AND CAUSES INFLAMATION, BLEEDING AND DIAREAH AND STOMACH PAIN AFTER EATING.  ITS VERY RAIR FOR A CHILD AT AGE 5 TO HAVE IT.  IT CAN BE HEREDITARY.  HER MOTHER HAS IT VERY BAD.  ANGELA IS DOING BETTER NOW SINCE SHE WAS PUT ON ANTI INFLAMATORY MEDS.  THE FAMILY HAS ADJUSTED WELL TO HAVING HER HERE BUT SHE WILL LIKELY BE GOING EARLY JUNE..   WE ARE PRAYING ABOUT WHAT TO DO .. SHE WASNT IN A GOOD SITUATION BEFORE..I WONT GET INTO DETAILS.. ANYONE WHO READS THIS PLEASE PRAY WE DO WHAT GOD WANTS NOT WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR EYES.  WE CAN MAKE QUICK JUDGEMENTS BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID AND BASED ON HOW OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST.  IF HER MOM HAS MADE A TRUE TRANSFORMATION I PRAY GOD WILL REVEAL IT TO ME SO I CAN FEEL FREE IN GIVING HER DAUGHTER BACK.  THE DAD ALSO NEEDS PRAYER HE SHOWS NO OUTWARD SIGNS OF CHANGE.  MY INTEREST IS IN WHAT IS BEST FOR ANGELA.   SHE HAS A RELATIVE WHO IM HOPING WITH TAKE HER IN.  THE SAME RELATIVE HAS HER BABY BROTHER AND IS ALMOST FINISHED ADOPTING HIM.  OK NOW ON TO HOMESCHOOL NEWS.

THERE ISNT MUCH TO TELL..LOL ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR WHERE WE SEEM TO HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH.  GOD HAS REVEALED WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND WE ARE MAKING THE CHANGES.  I ORDERED  TIMES TALES DELUXE WITH DIVISION AND ITS AMAZING HOW FAST IT WORKS! MY DAUGHTER WHO IS 8 KNOWS HER MULTIPLICATION!  MY SON WHO HAD BEEN STRUGGLING IS DOING GOOD WITH IT TOO..   I LOVE IT!    I HAVE MORE TO SHARE BUT NEED TO FINISH THAT LATER.

I CANT REMEMBER IF I TALKED ABOUT CERTAIN PEOPLE IN OUR LIFE HAD BEEN TRYING TO COUNCIL US AND TELL US WE SHOULD PUT OUR CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOL... JUST TO TRY IT AND SEE.  OUR FINANCES ARENT WHAT THEY NEED TO BE.  OF COURSE I PRAYED FOR GOD TO TELL US WHAT HE WOULD HAVE US TO DO AND WE FEEL HE WANTS US TO CONTINUE TO HOMESCHOOL.  WHEN TIMES GET REAL TUFF AND I TAKE MY EYES OFF OF GOD FOR A BIT THAT THOUGHT," WELL ,BOY IT WOULD BE EASIER TO PUT THEM IN PS.  I COULD WORK AND WE WOULDN'T STRUGGLE SO".  BUT THEN GOD GETS MY ATTENTION AGAIN AS HE IS SO GOOD AT DOING.. AND I REALIZE, THIS IS OUR MINISTRY.OUR CHILDREN AND AS WE KNOW ANY MINITRY GOD HAS GIVEN US COMES AT A PRICE SOMETIMES...A PRICE WELL WORTH IT. OUR HARD WORK AND STRUGGLES ARE NOW BUT WE WILL SEE GODS GLORY IN MY CHILDREN SOMEDAY.  WE WILL SEE WHY HES CALLED US TO DO THIS DIFFICULT TASK.  GOD HAS A PURPOSE AND PLAN FOR EACH OF OUR LIVES AND WE CANT LIVE ON WHAT MAKES SENSE ALL THE TIME..GODS WAYS ARENT ALWAYS OUR WAYS...GOD HAS PUT SUCH DEAR FRIEND(SISTA) IN MY LIFE WHO KNOWS MY HEART AND WILL SIT AND LISTEN TO MY BELLY ACHES AND CRYS AND I KNOW SHE UNDERSTANDS AND I KNOW SHE WILL ALWAYS GIVE ME A WORD FROM THE LORD..OR A TESTIMONY FROM HER LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSES..SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS.. I HOPE SHE REALIZES WHAT A BLESSING AND GIFT SHE IS.  SO THANK YOU SISTA!! 

WELL I THINK THATS MY LIFE FOR NOW. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU!

Time flys way to fast..its hard to keep up..well let me bring you all up to date.  Well lets start with school:  We started out strong and with in about two weeks my husband went to the hospital with a suspected heart attack.  Well praise God he was ok and put on a cardiac diet...he had to stay the night so school was put off for two days then...ok now we are about two weeks in to oct...(that heart thingy happen the end of sept) A man from our church needed a home for his little girl cause he messed up and has to go back to jail and do rehab..so i said id take her in if needed so she can stay in school (shes public schooled in Kindergarden) so he took me up on it in a matter of a few days of offering she was moved in with bed, dresser and clothes and toys..

Her name is Angela and she is 5 yrs old.  Her parents are both in jail and or rehab and have been in and out since she was born.  God has given me such a burden for this child..ive taught her  on wednesday nights for about a year and half now. She has the blondest hair and she has such a sweet nature.  She can be wild at times but her sweetness and manners just over ride that.  Shes been here for almost a week and has been sick the whole week but feeling better.  Part of having her here is my adventure..and her being in Public school is the others..as i learn how to be a parent to a child i will have to say goodbye to in 6-9 mos to a life of uncertainty and the other learning how the system oporates and feeling like a foreigner and i watch this little child step up on the bus step and go with a bus driver ive never met to a school full of adults i barely know.  God has a perfect plan in all this and i know his name will be glorfied in the end of this adventure.  Its gona be a wild ride for sure.  I will be sharing my hands on understanding of the differences of my homeschooling my own children with the public schooling of Angela.  Well I think thats it for now.. i will return to share more.  Please pray for Angela that she is in whos ever hands he would have them to be in.   And that His protection and love will continue to cover her no matter where shes at.  Thank you!
