This has been a difficult school year for us. We live in an old home and at Christmas we noticed our Living Room Floor was bouncy and sloping where it had not been before. In January, we discovered that about 800 square feet of our 1200 square foot home had rotten floor joists and we had to replace it all. We had to move out for a bout 2 months in Feb and when we moved back in we only were in 3 rooms and slowly finished the rest as we could get it done. We have had a tremendous amount of help in so many ways and after 7 months, we "moved" back into our kitchen last week
. Needless to say this made school work challenging and some days we had to just get the "meat and potatoes" done and leave the rest. Many days we could do very little at all. I was worried about test scores but just decided to take it in stride and "trust, rest & rejoice in the Lord". The older boys (6th & 8th) scored there best yet
and my youngest (K) accepted Jesus into his heart a few weeks later
! What more could I ask for? I certainly don't want to repeat this year but I am so thankful for the impact HOD has had on my family and the way the Lord took what little we could do this year and blessed it beyond what we could have ever done ourselves!
