I have had very little to blog about the past year.  I never really decided on a theme or purpose for my blog.   Our school days leave very little to blog about.  I love My Father's World curriculum and we are enjoying Exploring Countries and Cultures this year.  I feel blessed that God lead us to this curriculum.  But, on a day to day basis, I don't have much to say.

In my personal life, the past year has been a year with some heavy struggles.   I have grown closer to God through these struggles.  But, they were way to personal to share on such a public blog.  These were the kind of struggles that you share with a close friend (while sharing coffee and chocolate), knowing that crying together and prayer together would be healing.

So, my problem was that I had nothing to say that was interesting and at the same time not to personal.  This led me to ignore my blog. 

Last night while unable to sleep, I had a new idea for my blog.  I am going to share about the blessings that God has added to my life.  This will help me to remember to look for things to be thankful about each day  and I will have something to say most days.   

My idea for this came from this blog: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/ourquiverfull.    (If the link doesn't work, click on jkestes in my friends list.)

They have a very sick little boy and yet they have made it a practice to end each blog with something they are thankful for.   If they can be thankful while in the hospital with a very sick little boy, then I certainly can be more thankful at home with my healthy family.   

My other thought was that God want us to remember how he cares and provides for us.  We are to tell our children of the ways that God provides.  God likes to have us look back and remember his faithfulness.  I am going to start recording God's faithful to me.  Starting today.

Nice blog, neat idea to find a blessing to write about each day. We all need that reminder.
