Keeping our secret is driving me absolutely crazy, so I decided to blog to save my sanity....

We're expecting blessing #6 in January!!!

The kids don't know yet, because as soon as they know they'll tell Grandma (who will be less than pleased about the whole situation). 

I've been on a cleaning and organizing jaunt, which seems to be the story of my life, and hope to get things in a little better running order before we add another little one to the mix.  The thought of having 3 children who are 3 years old and younger frightens me a little, I'll have to admit.  But I know there are loads of other people who are doing the same.  I find lots of encouragement in the MOMYS group from ladies who have 2x as many kiddos and are still managing.

It is definitely an opportunity to rely more upon the Lord in more ways than one.  Only He can supply the strength, endurance, and wisdom that I need to parent, disciple, and homeschool all of these children for Him.  Only He can give me calm and peace in the midst of living a lifestyle that is completely counter-cultural and just plain weird to most of the people that we know.  I just pray that He would make us a bright light shining for Him.

Today's Project: Purging and organizing our office, filing away all of the 'outgrown' school books until the next children need them.

Today's Reading: Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin (although 'I'm finding it a little difficult to be too fascinating when I've got nausea that lasts throughout the day

Today's Dinner: BBQ Chicken, Oven Baked Potatoes, Asparagus & Chocolate Brownies for dessert .. yum!
