We have kept busy with volleyball games, drum lessons, AWANA's, boy scouts, bible studies, conferences, a whirlwind trip to Washington, homeschool group stuff, getting a handle on our school (which is still in the works), and of course just regular living.
I get up in the morning and start and do not stop until I lay my head on the pillow. I am not liking it and have been praying that God would slow things down in our family. Strip us of all of the unnecessary to focus on the important. As children get older, it gets harder. Season's change and I know that before I blink, they will be driving themselves to their own events and they will be gone. So I remind myself of this often. :)
Our bible study is "Organic God" by Margaret Feinberg. Right now what is standing out to me is just stripping away all of the extras and just being with God. I desire to know Him so deeply and just want to simply be with Him. Life is so full of distractions, lists are long, and I need to remind myself daily, to just simply rest at His feet.
