About SoCalVal

Photobucket

Welcome to my little corner of the beach in Southern California. I am married to one amazing man who loves me with a heart of Christ and who has blessed me to be a stay-at-home homeschool mom of three wonderful blessings. My heart is for homeschool ministry and helping others through encouragement. I've been homeschooling since the beginning and love it more and more every day.


I began my journey in homeschooling based on Bible scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapter 6:6-12 Homeschooling With Encouragement is dedicated to encourage the homeschool mom. I am the owner of a Yahoo group, monthly newsletter, two homeschool blogs, and the Weblink Education website.


Please take your time and thumb through my past postings as well as the Ministry links sponsored on this blog.

We're Here!

Hurray!  We're here in Colorado.  What a beautiful place to be...  the air is so clean and the sky is so blue.  We are loving the farm life.  Quite a change for this city girl.  Everyone is doing well and learning how to cope with the new allergies, but loving the peace and quiet.  The drive went well - long, but well.  We made the trip through the night (14 hours) and didn't have a bump in the road.  I'm always amazed at how many people travel at night. 

Anyway, the Lord is doing a great work here in this tiny part of CO.  We are meeting people and praying hard about where the Lord is leading us.  It seems like the people we meet were destined to be met.  We're discovering new things and listening carefully.  There's no doubt that the Lord is talking!  I do have a prayer request...  can keep my little son in prayer this week - he is still in his cast and having such a hard time.  He can't do most things and it frustrates him.  In fact, he will push himself until he is in pain - his cast is even getting soft at the bottom!  So, we will visit the doctor when we return to CA but need to push through this week with little activity.  He could use some peace.  Thanks everyone. 

I have lots of pictures already - I just can't post them yet.  There is no internet where we are staying (or television, or radio) and when we do make a stop at the library in town we aren't given much time to be on the Internet.  Lots of new things for everyone to get used to.  So, I'll have to post photos when we get back - with lots of stories (like running over a fox, having our trash thrown about the front yard by wild animals, a bird crashing into our window...etc).  Have a great rest of the week!

Well, we're under the same Colorado sky at least! So close, yet so far!! The Wengers (Kimi and Scott) and camping in Montrose for the 4th, maybe you will see them. Can't wait to hear the full report!

Love, Donna

I do so hope you are having a wonderful time.
Breathing there is so much better than breathing here. The California you left will not look the same when you return.
Because of Jesus, Bobbie

Glad (almost) all is going well for you guys. Will pray for your son. Hey, we have a little fox problem here, can you swing on by and run over her too? The neighbor & I would be much appreciative. :) Sounds like wildlife abounds - your not in "Kansas" anymore. Have a great remainder of a trip!!!
