I'm baaaack...

If I still have anyone out there who occasionally drops by to see if I've written any words here- thank you and sorry for the dry spell.

It's not a coincidence that I ran out of energy and things to say exactly when I started home schooling my girls. While we so clearly felt God's guidance and leading as we made the decision of whether or not to bring the girls home to finish their school year, and while it's been an amazing experience, it has taken up any residual brain energy I may have had.

I am so thankful for this opportunity and enjoy having the girls at home, but it is a lot of work. I typically spend 1-2 hours an evening preparing work for Emilie, which basically equals any "down time" I used to have. My mornings also include some last minute prep, which takes at least 15-30 minutes more.

I am really enjoying the prep and studying I have to do and Emilie soaks up everything I send her way, which makes the prep a lot of fun, too. I wish so much that I wasn't working as well as schooling the girls, because what fun we would have if we had whole days together to explore!

Katy has struggled some with remaining focused and driven, but the change in her and the loss of the stress that came from being in the High School environment has been remarkable and so worth while. My girl was suffering and again, I am thankful that she could come home to heal and to grow. It hasn't been easy, not by a long shot, but it has been and continues to be worthwhile.

So, all that to explain why even though God has been faithfully teaching me and drawing me closer, I've had nothing to write down here. I do feel the stirrings again and I'm so grateful. I think there was a part of me that was worried that the "spilling over" that happened on this blog had dried up. I loved having a place to spill out what God was teaching me-because when He teaches-there's more truth and love than I can hold! It has to go somewhere!

Anyway, if anyone does read this, consider these rambling thoughts as my commitment and stated desire to keep going here and to keep telling of His faithfulness in my life. I love to hear from you-take a moment and tell me if you dropped by.
