I figured I better get an entry out now, because I know I won't be near a computer to blog until Sunday at the earliest. First, the rest of our week.
It's been going good. Attitudes have been better, and the child we have been working with so hard is actually more advanced in the 'hard' area then we thought. I guess I over helped, and didn't 'push' enough. I've read so much stuff about not pushing them too hard, if they are not getting it, step back, don't do too much. Well, I think I've backed off too much, because now that the child has no choice, no help and has to figure out each thing, they are doing great. And doing work that before they 'couldn't' do and needed help. Ahhh, the sin in us, they learn how to play the game young. If I act like I don't know, mom will make it less hard. And they played the game well. But now, no more games, no more stepping back, we are pushing through. It will be a summer long event, but I believe that they will be more to grade level by the end of summer in this subject. It is a blessing to know that they are more advanced in this subject than I first realized, as it was something that was really bothering us. But now, it's getting better. Thank you Lord.
I had a great time at woman's bible study last night. We are really getting close with each other, and I'm really blessed by them all. Other than that, this week has been normal, school, laundry, cooking, not much out of the norm.
But now for this weekend. My church is having a woman's conference, which is like a woman's retreat, but we are not going away and spending the night anywhere. It's tonight and tomorrow for part of the day. My mom is coming out today and she'll be going with me. She prefers to stay at hotels instead of people's houses, so she won't be sleeping here, but we will be going together. I am really excited about this conference. It's my first it quite a few years, and since I'm not big on traveling right now, I'm glad it's just a conference and not a retreat.
The kids are looking forward to Nana coming out here and are excited to show her all the new things they have, i.e. bikes, Wii games etc... She'll have dinner with us tonight, and then tomorrow we'll all have a late lunch when the conference is over. It will be good to see her again and spend some time with her. I am a little nervous about her and me at the conference together. Nothing bad, but I tend to close up a bit when she's around. And I really want to be opened to the Lord and what He has for me tonight and tomorrow. So if you think about it could you say a prayer for me, that I would be, do, say or whatever the Lord wants me to be, do say this weekend. Regardless of my mom being there and what she might think or say. I'm blessed by my mom, and she loves the Lord, so I'm not saying she would be mean or anything. It's just an issue on my end, and I need to get through it. I believe this weekend is going to be the big step with that. I really could use your prayers.
So, that being said, you now know why I won't be near a computer after this entry. I have to finish up school, go grocery shopping and be back and ready for her to come over by 3:00 this afternoon. That gives me 3 1/2 hours from the time I'm writing this. Thankfully the kids have done great today and school is just about done. The chicken is already in the crockpot for dinner tonight, and all I have to do is finish up my grocery list. I guess I better get to it. I pray you all have a blessed weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful time at the women's conference. It sounds like a fun weekend! Maybe it will help to build up your relationship with your mom. I will pray that that will happen!
I pray MANY blessings on this week end for you my SSiC. May the Lord move inside you and grow you in the way he wants. May he also bring you and your mom closer and in a deeper relationship. Be truly blessed my friend. (((((HUGS))))))
I am not sure if we will connect before I go on my trip but I wanted you to know you were in my thoughts. You are such a special friend. Thank you.
I hope your mom and you had a blessed time.I can't wait to hear how things turned out for you. It sounds like a couple of us had a busy, spiritually filled weekend.
Love and prayers,
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.
