I have totally been neglecting my poor blog, I know. It's late but I just wanted to get something up, so I won't ramble on too much. We just finished two weeks of Sonlight Christian Academy, a missionary home schooling co-op we're a part off. It is always a blast but also a lot of extra work. It is never easy to get 4 kids out of the door at 7:30 in the morning and to have the little one's schedules all mixed up. This time it was extra busy as WON just opened a second car wash the same week (I'll blog about that soon). Jake was out the door at 6am so I lost my helpmate. But praise the Lord it all worked out well and the boys learned a lot and enjoyed hanging out with friends. I had a lot of fun teaching math and language arts to the k thorough 2nd graders. I had a MASSIVE amount of fun going to the pool everyday and teaching the dolphin class breast stroke, front crawl, etc. I got a lovely tan! I will post pictures of the two weeks soon. 


Something else that has happen in the last two weeks is that the rains have come. After a long, dry, three months, they are a welcomed changed! I have been amazed at how our parched, dusty, brown lawn and plot has been transformed into a lush, green garden in such a short time! The Lord quicken to me the verse in Isaiah 58:11, "And the Lord will continually guide you and satisfy your desire in scorched places. And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail." So thankful that in the dry and difficult times, the Lord is there continually refreshing me. It is visual reminder to be in His Word, prayer, and meditation to stay fresh and living!
