Welcome to My Blog!


Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

This Day. . .Only This Day (Part Deux)

Posted in God Things
Many of you have been praying for my family and all that is going on right now. You, dear ones, deserve an update, and an update you shall have. First, I wanted to be sure you all knew how precious your heart-felt prayers were (and are) to me. I can't thank you enough for standing with us as we wait.

Now, for the update. We know . . . as much as we knew before. The interview took place yesterday afternoon, so the first one is over. We don't know if there will be a second interview. I would love to say that my Hero felt fabulous about the whole thing, but that's not the case. The feedback from our close friend was something like "I don't think we got a chance to see the real [Hero] during the interview."  *sigh*  I know Hero was nervous, more than any other interview.

We are praying right now that God would give us peace that surpasses all understanding. We are fighting for our hearts to remain steadfast, focused, and faithful to the One who holds all things together. I am purposing not to let my heart or mind wander to those things which are not in keeping with the verse in yesterday's entry! Feel free to check that one out.

So, we wait. And there are verses that flood my mind:

"Those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength. . . "
"As the servant looks to the hand of the Master. . ."
"[W]e know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. . ."

And, I have the lyrics "given to me" some time ago as a reminder:

I'm Not Alone
by Me

I'm caught between what was and is and what may be
If I do life alone, the "was" is my home and "what may be" waits to take tomorrow's stage
I'm alone. . .
I'm freed from all that was and is to what may be
If I do life with You, the "is" is infused and "what may be" waits to take tomorrow's stage
I'm not alone!


Who loves that David's songs often begin troubled and end in freedom!

That's a tough spot to be in, but I know you are open to the Lord's will and sometimes it is not what we expect.

Hi Jen,

We had May & June off, so I was ready to start again. LOL What we are doing is taking every Friday off (it will make appointments, errands etc. easier without having to figure out how to do school around it) and we will have 3 weeks off throughout the school year and the entire month of June off next summer. We will see how that schedule works and if it doesn't we will change it again. LOL That is why I love homeschooling. Also, we are starting with Reading and Math this week, then adding 1 subject each week for the next 5 weeks..so our son won't be overwhelmed and neither will I...my daughter is only doing reading, phonics and math currently..she will do lapbooks with us but it isn't in her "curriculum" for Kindergarten. LOL
Have a blessed weekend!!
