Changes

Messing with my page here once again... I don't know... don't seem to have the time or patience to make it look really good but needed to do something... so this should do for a little while.

One more week till the kids head off to school... I'm nervous but that is normal for me when something different happens in my life.

I'll come back when I have more to say... my blogging hasn't been so interesting so it bums me out a bit.

The week has started out rough. My husband started off this morning around 1:00 am with a nasty bug... the worst of it only lasted about 7 hours but it has put him out of commission for the day. So no going to work for him... Hopefully he will be well enough to go tomorrow.
But now I'm feeling really yucky... but still determined not to lose my lunch!!
I guess this thing going around is pretty quick but is extremely contagious. So praying the kids don't catch it... I have tried to keep things disinfected and the doors are open for fresh air flow... we should be good to go I hope.

Need to get some sewing done and I really don't feel like doing anything.
Longing to be at the coast but then again would that honestly make me happy right now.
We did watch Goonies yesterday and I really really wanted to be over in Astoria again!!! I love the house!! It would be one place I would love to live in some day. Such a beautiful home with a gorgeous breathtaking view!!!

Not much else going on... the weight loss has been a struggle... things are going as well as I would like them to go... some what discouraging but oh well... I guess things are just going to go slow.
Half way through "Hind's Feet on High Places" now... should probably finish it this week so that I can start in on the next book... It takes me a little longer then most to get through a book.

SO hard to believe the kids will be starting school in 4 weeks!!! That is going to take some getting used to... I need to see how long it would take to walk to the school from here.

Need to go my stomach isn't doing so well.
Have a really good day and week!

Struggle
What a word that is... We struggle for so many reasons but it is so very hard when we are struggling and have no idea why. Is it that we are in sin or is it that we are struggling with and being hit by the ripples of someone else's sin.
I want my heart to be right before the King. I want to bare the fruit I'm called to produce.
I struggle with things that shouldn't bother me and it brings me down. The only way I know how to stop my continued struggle is to step back and totally put myself in the Lord's arms, meditating on His every word, and move on. Trying to walk to please the Lord and no one else. Because in the end He is always there, He knows my deepest most darkest secrets and still loves me, He is the finale one I will stand before... He stands with me.

It been another long week about finished.
Lots of walking, work outs and busy busy busy!
My friend and I headed out to Multnomah Falls on Wednesday and hiked all the way to the top. I actually did alright considering my fear of heights and water... But the waters were calm and so it made it a little easier to handle. The photo on the left is from the very top... and the one on the right is the bridge at the bottom where it all begins.
It ended up being a great day... But my body is paying for it now, not moving to well and I am exhausted. It was all worth it though!!

4 more weeks till school starts!!!! I have some more papers to take into the school when they open the offices up again the end of this month. Then we will be set. Feeling a little bit like an outcast from some of the homeschooling people but oh well... this is what I need to do at this time in our lives... who knows down the road we may try the schooling at home again.

A little over half way through with "Hinds Feet On High Places" for the book club I'm in then will be starting "A Girl Of The Limber lost" I am actually enjoying this book club thing... It gives me an excuse to sit down and read! Because honestly I wouldn't be reading much if I didn't have this kind of support.

Well I am really hungry all of a sudden and I need to go get lunch going for the kids and I.
Happy weekend!!!
