Things have been a blur lately. We had to change our plans, inventory came up (a disaster!) and now we're gearing up for a sale set this weekend.
I'm fried.
I've had the last two days off, but unfortunately they haven't been very restful. The house was wrecked, the kids are a mess and Anna is trying to
recover from VBS last week.
How did we get to this point? I don't know, but this in itself is draining. We need a break, a real break. We need some time to get away and be
quiet somewhere. To reconnect with God. I love my life, but I'm so tired. I need a recharge.
We've decided to put the older kids back in public school. By thier choice, and in thier words they want to "make a difference" and "share what
we've learned". Our mission in homeschooling them was to teach them what the public school wouldn't, the reality of God, the way the world really
works, and who Jesus is, what He's done, and what that means. If they are ready to go to "all the world and make disciples", then we've accomplished
that mission. I'm a little worried about where they are thier course work. Not that they are behind, but that they are so far ahead that they will be
bored. Especially Derek, he's so easily distracted and so easily becomes the distracation. I know they will tell us he's ADD. I know he's not, he just
sees things different.
On the subject of school, Tasha has decided to go to Bible college. She has her heart set on one in Nebraska, but we haven't really started
applying or checking them out. She wants to work with youth and maybe eventually in the mission field. I don't know if she knows what she's getting
into, but I guess that's what college is all about.
