Great Day!

Today was a wonderful day. Sadie and I (for the most part) took a mental health day. We met with some other homeschooling families at Kid Zone park for lunch. We also talked about the start of the Suffolk Christian Home-schoolers group. I can not wait for that to officially start. It will be wonderful to be able to get up with other families and have Sadie get that same sort of socialization that Lilly and Gabe get at school. Jenn and I talked about the things that will want to do for the co-op that we are starting in October. It is going to be a little crazy in the beginning but I think that it is going to be wonderful. The kids are all doing work right now and I am about to start dinner. Tonight we are having Skillet Ham and Potatoes. It is a new recipe so I hope it is yummy!

School started again!

So school started last week! Things have been busy but good so far. Lilly is in the 4th grade and is as smart as ever. Gabe started Kindergarten and LOVES it. And Sadie is still home schooled working on 5th grade.

Kal and I are doing great. We went to a new Sunday School class on Sunday hoping to like it and we did. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. We learned something and I want to share it because it is quickly becoming my newest favorite bible verse.

Philippians 4:4

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done.

To me this is very powerful. This is not talking about telling God that you need to win the lottery or a brand new shiny car but telling Him that you want peace of mind for a certain situation or that you would like to release something in you that is making you angry or anxious. I have never thought about that before. I always thought that I had to work through something on my own and not "bother" God with something that I felt was so small in comparison to everything else in this world. Now I know.

I am reminded about the little saying "Don't tell God how big your problems are, Tell your problems how big your God is". I really like that. I have slowly started changing my attitude to this. It is not something that is easy. It is something that overtime I hope to fully be like. And the biggest thing I can do to help this change along is to talk to God and pray.

Well that is about all I have for today. Sadie is finishing up her lessons and then we are going to have lunch and visit with a friend.

I am going to put the venison jerky into the dehydrator and hope it all works out

Until next time....
