Colorado Zoo

Photobucket

 

Experiencing Colorado this time around has been so fun.  The children are older and able to go places that we didn't go before. This last weekend we had a back to school party at the local zoo.  What fun!  The kids were able to actually pet a giraffe and feed them.  Of course, petting anything but a dog or cat would be exciting, but a giraffe???  It was fun!  Along with the giraffe, we saw the typical zoo animals...   a mountain lion, bear, elephant, zebra, etc.  It was a great way to start the school year.

 

I hope you are having a great start to the school year, too.  We are excited to see what the Lord is going to do with our new land and the people we meet.  I have great goals this year (including a new book that I am writing).    Please let me know you stopped by to say hello.  If you haven't already done so, please look me up on Twitter and/or facebook.  I'd love to connect with you on there.

Homecoming

Photobucket

 

We have arrived!  We are in our new home ~ and what fun we are having decorating the house and filling our closets with our belongings.  After two years of praying and waiting, we can breathe the clean air of Colorado once again.  It's amazing how time really flew when we were in California.  Although it seemed to stretch on and on...  for so long (6 years)... in retrospect it wasn't long at all.  The Lord worked out the kinks and prepared our heart(s) for this transition, and we are thrilled.    

 

It's been quite an adventure getting here and becoming settled, but it has been good.  The Lord has shown us in so many ways that this move was right.  We have met some wonderful people already and are excited to dig into some local homeschooling groups in a few weeks.  What excites me the most is the opportunity to begin my ministry in helping mom's who homeschool.  Although I feel like I'm the one learning at the moment, I can't help but not deny the burning feeling I have inside to reach out and point other mom's to Jesus.  Homeschooling has always been the platform the Lord has used for me to share Him... and this new area is no different.  I am excited to share my heart and love for the Lord... and learn from others in the process.   

 

Thank you to all who supported me during this move.  Your prayers mean a lot to me and I want you to know that I felt them all the way!!!  Thank you.
