Praying for you here.

Yes, we had a great time. The kids loved the beach. We played in the water and gathered sea shells. We went on the beach at night & caught lots of sand crabs. We went to a water park and played putt putt golf. We were exhausted by the end, but it was worth it.

and we had a great vacation. Now I'm getting ready to start school Monday. Dd chose to start with Historical Fiction in DITHOR. We can't wait!

so I'll be away from the boards a few days. We're going to Gulf Shores. I'm so excited; I just LOVE the beach! If you ladies have time & feel led to do so, please pray for a safe & wonderful time for me & my family. "See" you ladies next week!

Tansy, your post really encouraged me. We are in the process of adopting from China. When I hear testimonies like yours, it helps me to keep on moving through the red tape & mounds of paperwork. Thanks for sharing your story. May God continue to bless your family!

Sorry to hear that you're sick. I hope you'll be well soon. Also, I'm glad to hear that school is going better for you guys. Take care of yourself & don't do too much. 102 is a pretty high fever for an adult!

She is strongwilled--like her mommy :wink: , so I give her choices whenever it's appropriate. What I plan to do is to show her 3-4 books in the genre, and then let her decide which one she wa...

I too am so glad that this board is up and going again.

Glad to have you here! I know what you mean about needing a laid out plan. I too need a little structure to go along with the fun & flexibility. Oh, and about the planning, I have a tentative schedule that goes all the way through high school--even for my 5 year old!

I am praying for you. I've been where you are twice. Praying that you will feel God's arms wrapped around you at this time. That's what carried me through, and I know He'll carry you through this as well. I take great comfort in knowing that one day we will see our precious babies & spend eternity w...

I'm praying for your precious little one, and for you and your family. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort as you lean on Him.

Thanks, ladies. Things are better today.

I posted this on HSR & copied it here b/c you ladies always give such wonderful, Godly advice & show so much love & compassion. Thanks. I don't want to sound as if I'm throwing a pity party. I'm not. I know I have so much to be thankful for & God has blessed me abundantly. However, I still struggle ...
