My Changing Boys

It is amazing to me to watch my boys grow and change! Ethan is now 20 months old and repeats just about everything he hears. He just brought me his brothers drawing and said,"Ook OOk a robot". He does this often and I am always surprised! And yesterday as I laid him down for nap he said poop and and looked down at his diaper.I checked and he had peed but just a couple minutes later he did poop and he did the same thing this morning. Maybe it is time to potty train...

Homeschooling can be quite time consuming and hard.Especially with little ones running around making things harder. But I am extremely excited when I see my seven year old reading huge words or my five year old add in his head. Homeschooling is a giving up of many wants and of self. Many people can't do it. Give up so much of themselves and their time.
It has taught me how selfish I can be. It has been a humbling learning experience that I wouldn't have if I had put my kids in school and went to work to find fulfillment. Or gone to college! I have felt the pressure to do just that. I am glad though that I didn't give in to them!

God moves

God moves in our lives just like the changing weather and seasons! I go through many ups and downs but all the downs are worth the ups! LOL! I am excited when I can see God moving in our lives and see changes that only God could have made! I love it when things are not going good in many ways in our lives but yet we are content and happy and know God is taking care of us and what ever we are dealing with.
My life is full of things that do get me down many times. I don't handle things the right way so many times. But I am learning to accept that I can do my best to fix things then leave them to God and rest knowing God can take care of me and my mistakes better then I ever could!
I am beginning to be able to happily accept who I am because The God of all made me. He loves who I am and is extremely happy with me! I have faults and am glad I do because without those faults I wouldn't need my God and Savior Jesus Christ to help me. I am glad to be able to look back over my life and see how God has changed me because I gave my faults to Him and was determined to become better through Him!
