What a mess my house is with papers and books everywhere. I wonder sometimes about all that I do. It seems that it may be in vain. I really would rather not waste my life with doing, doing, doing and nothing coming from it.
Ah...but the reality is, the kids are learning and happy. They work hard, they play hard, they cry and laugh, they listen and they frustrate, they help out and they make messes, and then they sleep to awake for another day to do it all again. I know that life is that. It's making the ordinary extraordinary without concentrating on the spectacular or phenomenal.
I pray that the moments that we spend together will be extraordinary in being kind, being quick to fix what we see wrong in ourselves so that we all mature into better people, yes, even me. I know that this homeschooling journey that has become part of my life is not just for my kids or the community that we are a part of, it is a personal journey for me. I get to learn and grow and change to become a better me.
I'll clean up the papers and books as I can. I'll know that my doing is a work that needs to be done and be done well. I'll wait to see what all this will bring tomorrow, next year, and into the lives of my children.

I didn't know you blogged! Well, at least you used to blog 6 months ago :-) I will read your posts if you blog again...but no pressure. Just wanted to let you know that Bridgette is liking your essay class...she says that she is starting to feel more comfortable with her writing. ~Melissa
I need to blog more. It's good for the muse inside. I'm glad Bridgette enjoyed the Essay Class.
