Still here....

Just wanted to post quickly to make certain that my blog doesn't get thrown away. As you can see, I haven't been around at all since early summer. Lots of things going on in life and it has been best not to blog during this time. I hope that I'll be able to get back to writing and blogging again once the new year rolls around, if not sooner.

I also want to thank everyone who has been praying for our family's needs. My dad is doing extremely well, my mother-in-law is finished with her chemo and in the middle or her radiation and herceptin, and both aunts are doing well for their age.

The biggest news is that I am grandma to FOUR terrific kids now, in addition to my sweet 8 year old granddaughter Nova, and my precious angel Ellora. That makes six grandkids...Wow! Chelle and Josh have Ronald, 10; Thomas, 8; they arrived on June 15. Last Thursday they were joined by their brother Isaiah, 5; and sister Destiny, 4. This is the first they have been together in over 3 years. I love them all so much it's hard to believe that they haven't been a part of my life forever!

Please continue your prayers for us as a family. I am so sorry not to be able to stay in touch with the many of you that I have gotten to know and love at hsblogger.com, and hope that things are such that I can be back sometime sooner than later.

Love to all,
Kathy

So glad you updated. I have thought of you often and wondered how the adoption was going. It is so good to hear that they seem to be settling in. I bet they are so happy to be together. Your daughter is an amazing woman.

Lord thank you for your kindness to this family. Thank you for improved health in all the members who have suffered through illness. Thank you for the blessing of four new grandchildren. Put your loving arms around this family and hold them close as they adapt to all the changes. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Have a great new year.

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
