Long time!

I guess blogging regularly is not an option for me. As I type this I am sad by how long it has been since I last blogged. I am sure there could be good reasons this time, but as usual, there are always excuses. I would like to think that I will get better, but things do not promise to slow down any time in the near future.

Matt starts back to school one week from tomorrow, so that is very bitter sweet. We are so excited that God has again provided for Matt's tuition for this year, and can not wait to see what this year holds for him. He will be taking Hebrew this year which will be all new to us. I am excited about that and pray that he enjoys it as much as he did Greek!

Joshua, Asher and I will begin school on the same day daddy does. We are very excited about it and I just pray that we enjoy our time and that God will make it clear to us through this school year if homeschooling is for us or not.

Lydia, has been very busy. She is now fully walking, and into everything. She apparently is allergic to something, though we don't know what...she had a minor outbreak of welts on her sweet little legs. She looked like she got into a fight with a mosquito and the mosquito won! We are praying that it was just something random and it won't happen again!

I have been helping with a ministry that is focused on teen moms and I have really been enjoying that. I have also just been overwhelmed with trying to get us ready for the new school year and praying that God will help me to see what is most important and focus on those things.

Please pray for our family. The last few weeks have been very hard for us. We have had friends going through very hard times, friends who are moving and friends and family who have been sick. We have been (and are) very heart-broken for our friends/family and our church family. It has seemed to be never ending. We know that God is still in control and are so thankful that NONE of this has taken Him by surprise. Though we have been caught by surprise MANY times, God was not. His plan is still in place and we are so thankful that He is in control.
