Today started early for me 4:30am to be exact. I could not get comfortable I was in the mist of horrible back and nerve pain. I got up and started praying seeking the Lord and asking what was going on with a few things I was about to embark on..One being a play I had done in the beginning of the summer and I was so excited to hear they were doing it again… As the details came forth I realized I would not in fact be able to do the play. Timing is everything! Being obedient to the Lords timing and voice for me is pivotal to my life. My flesh is screaming in pain as I wrote the Director to let her know sadly I would have to pass on doing another run. But, peace flew in and rested upon my heart once I had.
Peace is our promise as believers Peace was left for us. Peace is a free gift! Peace in the mist of trails. Peace no matter what is going on. We can have peace! We can be carriers of Peace and give it away. We can bring peace with us and change the atmosphere.
Today, I felt like Abraham putting his promise on the alter. I love to preform, love to make people laugh and love love love the stage. BUT, I love and trust the LORD more than my desires and dreams. I know that there is a purpose to why I can't do the play and I trust my father in heaven and I am grateful that I can be lead by PEACE.
Side note:
I was thinking this morning while I played on the floor with my 3 year old and all was wonderful in our world..(Even though the dishes were piled up and the laundry needs to be folded oh and i really need to organize my house…) I was thinking about how I always remember my mom being that kind of mom that played with us built forts, climb trees, roller skating, running, slip in slides, dolls, swings, any and everything. Im sure the house was clean and I know we ate because I grew up but i don't remember those things. I remember her standing with me and holding my hand. All that to say…I think I will forgo the chores for the time. Don't be surprised if you stop by to see the dishes still in the sink.. I'll do them when the girls go to bed.

The truth
So a lot has changed since I last wrote a post. Olivia is in school full time this year. Isabella is in speech therapy. Mommy is working two extra days a week. These are the main changes for us the big ones really.
Today was speech day for little chick and it was a horrible day for me… it was filled with tears and fighting with everything she has to not participate.. Its hard to watch her struggle with talking to watch her face get frustrated because she knows she can't say the word or say it the way it should be said in most cases. Bella is an amazing communicator! She is one of the smartest little people I have known.
Theres an internal struggle for me with all this… there are the facts that are so overwhelming I can only cry and scream inside and all to quickly find my place in a ball on the floor (the enemy and sometimes my flesh would like to be stuck here). Stuck focusing on the NOT YET. Focusing on HOW COME
But not this momma. Not for long.
For I know the Truth.
JESUS IS THE TRUTH
Today I am needing to remind myself of the HIS TRUTH.
The truth is Isabella has been given the words just like Jeremiah
The truth is Isabella has been given a future of hope
The truth is Isabella has been knit together by the hands of GOD
The truth is NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD not even speech issues and strong willed 3 year olds
The truth is HE has supplied all that Isabella needs and all I need, for us to make it to the other side of this.
The truth is we are not alone HE HAS NOT FORSAKEN US.
Choosing to stop and look to HIM waiting and resting in HIS presence.
Thanking HIM for the finished work.
Thanking HIM for today
Thanking HIM for the complete healing.
For nothing is broken or missing in HIM.
So grateful for JESUS.

One month in.
WE ARE ALIVE!
WE STILL LIKE EACH OTHER!
These were two of my worries starting this homeschooling journey. Amazingly we have had success.
This month has been so busy. Its actually not that much different than other months. I think there is always something to keep us busy and we tend to shift one thing over for another.
Truth:
No matter who we are or what stage in life we are in we are always facing a challenge.
Home schooling Olivia has really fit right into our day to day life. Its nice to have a schedule. I love schedules! I really do. I will be honest and say that my goal to be dressed and ready for the day before we start school has not been met yet. I mean I have clothes on just not anything I would want to be seen in. So what, I'm the teacher in her PJ'S. I am working on this though. Its been noticed. Someone little told me recently I look like Fancy Nancy's momma. "Oh wow" I thought she must be really pretty. lol
forgetting what she looked like in the book. She's pretty but we both have the same MOMMA Look. Work out Clothes (cause then maybe people will think "oh she just came from the gym") pony tail and no makeup. This pretty much sums up my uniform. I am trying to get out of this rut! Lord knows I need help. I guess it comes down to not really caring about yourself and being to tired taking care of all the other things around me. Its the typical momma thing always taking care of everyone and everything around you but not YOU. Needless to say I see this and I know I have changes to make.
Classroom Love:
I love having a classroom. I love having a kindergartener. She is so excited about everything we talk about. She hates sitting still and doing quiet work. She challenges me and reminds me daily that I am loved! This month the highlights have been watching her read a book to me. I am seeing how she learns best anything hands on and she is a go. We have been so blessed by this sweet time together.
Yes there are days were I think there is no way I can do this today or I want to scream SIT DOWN AND SHUT IT! But, even in those times i remind myself I cant be the only one screaming that in my head. there are other teachers other homeschooling momma's and papa's thinking the same thing.
So all in all I am happy with our first month. We are still alive and we still like each other. Maybe that doesn't seem like that much of a success. I'll take it. lol
Next month maybe I get out of my uniform and blowdry my hair. Goals are a good thing!
Bless you sweet friends for reading my post. May the Lord shine brightly upon you today! You are Loved!

Day 3
Just finished up day 3!
I am really learning how Olivia learns. I am asking that the Lord open my eyes to see how to teach her in the best way for her. She is loving the schedule and knowing that the school room doors open at 8:45am and class starts at 9. So far she is awake by 6:30 am asking is it time yet? So grateful for the adventure we are on.
I am finding it to be challenging during some moments mainly the ones which require her to do things she is not interested in. Oh you know like sitting still and reading! So, I am already seeing how we can change things from day to day to fit our needs.
I honestly am so focused on the schooling right now that my house has taken a back seat, like the last seat in a greyhound bus near the bathroom! I am giving myself this first week to focus on the schooling only and just let the chips fall where they may. Praying for Balance.
How do you handle it?
How do you handle the balance between babies and homeschooling your older children?
Here is my moment of realness... My goal was to be up and dressed (hair done, make up on) and ready for the day before we started school. 1out of 3 isn't bad! try again tomorrow. The funniest thing to me is that Olivia thinks having a picture in your outfit before school is apart of the daily schooling process. She doesn't think its only for the first and last day. At least we don't have to a student-teacher picture daily! Especially on the days I am still in my PJs.
Be Blessed!
