Quiet!What the heck is that?


I am sat in my room and its overwhelmingly quiet. Baby Boo is taking a nap and Daddy took Liv to swim.
I am shocked at how strange quiet is to me. How odd it feels. In fact, I am finding my self searching for the sound of a cry or whine for that matter. Quiet is like a long lost friend who takes a few minutes to reconnect, but then when you finally do you think to yourself "why don't we hang out more together?"

We are on the cusp of some major changes in this household. HOMESCHOOLING! Yes Livi Loo is starting K in August and The Lord has made it clear that we are to homeschool this year. Some days I am completely overwhelmed with the thought let alone actually doing it! How will I get it done and keep everything else afloat. Will I ever take a shower again? Will my house ever feel clean? Will the clean laundry ever find its way to the closet or will the chair be its home forever? Will we still like each other?

BREATHE. Relax. Trust. Rely. Repeat.

Its funny how easy it is to look around and think to myself. "Oh man those people have it together, if only I was like that person, If only I had that or could do this." I forget how much HE has placed in me! I forget all that HE has trusted me with. I forget that HE is IN me TO  do HIS will! HE makes a way for me. HE does the work HE paid the price. HE (JESUS) is why I live and move and have my being!

Just typing that I am filled with a sense of strength, a knowing that I can do all things through HIM who strengthens me.

Homeschooling is no "Goliath" Homeschooling is an adventure!

Honestly I have no idea what this year will be like. I do know that He has gone before me and made a way. I know that HE has equipped me and that I will have a lot to write about I am sure!

So, I will soak in all this quiet and let it cover me like a warm bath! Knowing how hard it is to come by. I am drinking it up.
