Ginny over at Proverbs 22:6 Academy has sent me the sweetest gift. She had a contest a while back, and for those of us who entered but didn't win, she made us these beautiful magnets. It is proudly displayed on my fridge at this moment. She does absolutely beautiful work. It's one of the most pretty things I've seen. Thank you so much Ginny, that was so very sweet of you. Here are some pictures.
Today was a good day. School has gone better than it has in a long time. Though I'm feeling like I'm not getting much accomplished though. But I need to think here, I'm sure I have gotten things done. I get schooling done every day, I keep the house picked up, I make meals (even if they are not from scratch), I finished the crochet scarf for my friend. I guess I have finished some things. I think the fact that it seems like it's the same thing every day, I don't feel like I'm really accomplishing anything much. I guess I have to get out of that frame of mind. I just have so much in my mind I want to do, and I don't get anywhere near finished with what I want. I don't even get things started. Sorry, I'm sounding pretty down, just in one of those moods I guess.
Tomorrow at 7:30am MT my sister will be having a shot put in her back. It's suppose to help with the back pain she's had for years. If you think about it, could you please say a prayer for her. Thanks.
Well, I don't want to leave this on a glum, down note. So lets see, what can say that is cheery. I can't think of much to say, so I'll leave you with a picture from our old house in the summer.
I think we feel like we are spinning our wheels from time time to time, but the end result shows that we really did make progress. It's kind of like watching our children grow. We don't often see how tall they have become until someone who hasn't seen them in a while comments on it. I think learning can be like that. We don't get to see how much they have grown and how much we have really done until someone from the outside comments on it. So don't get down.
I have said a prayer for your sister that she will be better.
Thank-you very much for the lovely compliment. I am so gald that you are enjoying your little surprise.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I don't think you are being glum. It's just a fact, winter is dragging on and it is taking it's toll. And doing the same thing every day is what happens to me in the winter. It was encouraging to me to hear you thinking through the fact that you are doing things, but don't feel like a lot is happening. I feel the same way right now! And I am proud of you for finishing your friend's scarf. I know what that took!

Sorry you are gloomy. I think maybe it is kind of the time of year. I get down this time of year a lot and feel like I battling with myself every few days about not feeling like I am accomplishing much.
What a beautiful gift! Thanks for sharing pictures. I will say a prayer for your sister that all goes well. And thanks for sharing a beautiful "warm" photo, I'm needing to see that right now! Have a blessed and lovely weekend.
This blog is so I can share my journey with the Lord, my journey as a wife and mother, and my journey as a homeschool mom. I pray that you will see the Lord in my life through happy and sad times, and that this blog glorifies the Lord.
This is an award and tag free zone, thank you.
