Hurricane!

*Long post alert*

I’m not exactly certain what happened during the last two weeks. It’s all a blur!!
We prepped for the hurricane.
We left.
We spent time with family and homeschooled on the road.
We got to see my mom feeling pretty good and talked lots about how her experience with cancer changed us all.
One of my closest friends had life saving emergency surgery and I freaked out for her more than I even realized!
I left my older children in the upstate for a fun week.
I came back home and did all my hurricane clean up.
Our HOA scheduled & completed repairs (thank you!)!
I went back to my parents and got my kids, spent some time with my wonderful mother in law and aunt n uncle in law, spent some time with a good friend, saw my Granny who hasn’t been doing well (and it was an amazing day!!) and got to see my aunt who was doing an incredible job keeping my Granny in good spirits, got to spend some quality time with my brother and parents!
Then I came back home and threw the most incredible lifelong bestie a baby shower!
And then today, we are at home and everything is just back to normal!  And they are (to my delight!) so happy to be homeschooling today!

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

How Do I Homeschool with a Toddler at home?

I still can't imagine being thrown into homeschooling so quickly. I know I've said this before, but I personally needed the time to prepare. I'm a creative soul, and schedules do NOT come naturally to me, so I was so incredibly grateful to learn from my preschooler homeschool curriculum how to schedule the days for my youngest so that I could do it well! I just got off the phone with the owner of the My Father's World curriculum and he gave me permission to share some of it with you to help you adjust to your new way of life as well! I set up Brayden’s mornings like this so he will play happily & feel included while I homeschool the older kids (and of course, I include him in the schooling as possible as well). I treat his activities as though they as just as important as big kid school so he does them diligently and put them away in boxes after so they are special so he loves them while they are out. Once Avery finishes his K4 schedule he joins Brayden in t...

Musings on Classic Christianity by Bob George

     Many Christians live in a constant state of worry about whether or not they are good enough. This is not new information to me, because for the longest time, this was me. I, like many others, lived in a constant struggle of trying to be good enough, failing, and then trying to hide my failures from the world and still look “good enough.” God does not intend for me to live like that. He sent His son so that I may live life abundantly.     The illustration of Creation, The Fall, and Jesus’s Sacrifice really solidified to me that the Holy Spirit truly lives within me so therefore I should allow my body to be a vessel for him. At the time of Creation, God created mankind with a perfect union to Him. Up until the first sin, Adam and Eve lived fully and had a complete relationship with God. After the first sin, mankind fell from the perfect relationship with God. While Adam and Eve were still technically alive, they were not abundantly living because th...
