Are you flexible? How do you handle change?
Me I liked a schedule, I liked knowing what was coming ahead of me. Didn't like curve balls tossed into my path.
Then I meant my husband.
Wow was I in for a shake up in my organized laid out plans.
Over 18 yrs God has had to deal with my attitude many times. I have had to turn to to Him and ask for help.
Today, is one of those days. My plans for today have been erased and rewritten 2-3 times, with some extra stuff thrown in.
What I had planned is not going to be even finished or touched today.
How am I responding? Can others see Gods grace through me? Is it ok for the school books to be closed for a day and allow real life hands on learning to happen? Yes.
I don't need to stress out and have anxiety for my plan for the day to be finished.
If I am looking for God to lead my day then I need to trust in his leading.

Ever wonder
About the decisions you made in your life? I do often, is this were God wanted me. Or is it what I made happen?
How do we know? There are days that I felt it was Gods intervention. Then other days I just know i am reaping from what I sowed while walking without him.

Time is just flying....
I know I said I would be here more.
Living just seems to get fuller as my four grow. Somehow I had it in my head that life slows the older the children get. Not the case at least here. Is that the same in your home?
As for what has been going on in my neck of the woods.
-music, lots of it. The whole family is involved in the music at church.
- orchestra is still a huge part of our life.
- I just finished a big job of sewing four timpani covers for the MAYS orchestra
- Trying to stay on task with school so hopefully we can take a break this summer.
- Re evaluating the plan for next year we did experiment this year with other curriculum.
Waiting to see God's plan for this season in life.
Blessings friends,

Update on my son
Wow where did a month go?
My son finished up all his shots. The last ones where rough since he had migraines and stomach sick from the shots.
Rabies shots have come a long way over the years, very happy for that! They give less and they r given in the arms and legs.
We never have seen that cat again.
As of January 16th we are off our break from school and activities.
Enrolled my oldest in double the classes then he had last semester. So this requires more time out of the home and school schedule changes.
With the younger we are finishing up writing and have started Easy Grammar. So far I am liking it a lot. We are going to be starting our next comprehension with Narnia.
I am feeling pretty good about the learning we have done this year.
I don't feel behind like I normally have and that we need to make a dash for the finish. I don't know if it is I am coming more comfortable in homeschooling or if we are just more on task.
Well off to begin my day, we have been so blessed this winter with above normal temps. Makes life enjoyable windows open and fresh air.

Second shot
We went Friday for my boy to have his second dose of rabies vaccine. He is so brave, each time they have to switch arms. This time he had a mild headache and upset tummy afterwards.
It is hard as a mom to make your child go through all these shots. Not sure how parents did yrs ago when the rabies shots were much worse. My dad told about when he had to go through it as a child. I am very, very thankful my boy is not having to experience it.
Two more times then he will be done.

Extra thankfulness
The week of Thanksgiving became very overwhelming. I found one thing in the mix to be thankful for, my dear friend.
As I write this post today and things are returning to normal I can see the blessings and the items to be thankful for. It is not always easy while in the storm to see clearly. I am blessed with Christian friends that come along my side and help me see.
1.) thankful for a husband that saw I needed a break and helped it happen.
2.) for my girlfriend that prays with me, loves my children and is there for me always.
3.) my mom is alive and for God directing the ER Dr to find she had had a small heart attack.
4.) that God answered prayers and my dad has returned to my life. That we saw each other and planning to see each other again.
5.) God knew what was ahead of us with my son and he provided the means so that when it did happen he would be taken care of.
6.) brave little boy who still isn't upset with the cat that bit him. That he has been brave and strong while enduring all the shots he has had to receive.
7.) a break from hosting the Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. We had a small one just us and I found peace and joy in my kitchen preparing for my guys. With my baby girl by my side helping.
Had a wonderful 4 day weekend on our vacation from life. Enjoyed our children with out demands of school, commitments or work.
Happy late Thanksgiving to all! May you have also received many blessings
