July 13, 2009

Well now.... crisis after crisis seems to hit our family. But by the grace of God....... I needed Him so much today. My heart was broken in a million pieces.
I missed classes and cried the better part of the day.
Why? Because one of our daughter's is in need of serious prayer, and God knows it.
I must obey.
And obey, I will.
He listens to the tears of a Momma when she cries out to Him about one of the littles in her care.
He may not answer right away, or next week... maybe not even until next year or 10 yeas... but He will answer.
So pray, I must.

Some decisions have been made about the childrens schooling this coming year.
Abi, the social butterfly wants to go back to public school.
So we are going to allow it, but with one stipulation. Grades will be kept up and she is NOT attending school in this town. Her Dad will drive her back and forth to the next town over (about 5 miles away, I guess), and the oldest daughter is going to be homeschooled again. I am going ot order a preset curriculum for her, and while I will trust her to work independently for the better part of the day, I am also going to quiz her each day or every other.

I have to return to school again tomorrow. I took today off, a mental health day, one might say, and have to get back to the grind in the AM. That's ok though, cause I am taking the Lord with me, so it won't be bad.

The garden is looking great! Especially our tomato plants. We have three in the bed right outside the kitchen window, and they are HUGE! Toppling over huge..... with tons of green tomatoes all over them! We've gotten a few peppers so far, and the corn is doing alright, but our cabbage... well.... after that wild hail storm we got, it put holes in the leaves and the plants never did seem to quite recover from that.

It's time for me to go to bed, so I'm heading out. Tomorrow is going to be a long one! :)

~Blessings!~
