Where do I start
My brain is a big ball of mess at the moment.. I feel like there are a thousand people in there fighting over who gets to speak first.. there's just that much that I want to update you on!! So in order to keep my sanity I'm just going to make a list of all the different things I think we'd end up talking about I'd talk your ear off about, if we could sit across from each other over a hot cup of coffee.
In no particular order
1. Food! Nutrition! My food journey.
My new way of eating.. my new love for learning about how to properly feed my body.. and my massive inability to turn head knowledge in to practical life skills .. ( I have a hard time staying on plan). How God is convicting me about my food journey.. oo good title.. I'm going to go back and change it...
2. Parenting
My inadequacies and what God's trying to teach me.. the books that I'm reading...etc. Lately it feels like not much of what I'm doing is returning any fruit. If I'm really honest with myself, I'm a lazy mom. I enjoy my phone too much and I feel like there's too much time in my days with my kids where I'm wrapped up in what's going on online and not what's going on with my kids.. I need to be more Present!! BAHHH!! feeling so convicted about that but having a hard time with it at the same time.
3. Homeschooling
We are officially on the fence at the moment about homeschooling. There was a time where I thought we were 100% convinced that it was the best option, but then my dear husband (now to be refereed to as Mr. H for Handsome.. lol) told me that he's not sure anymore.. and we haven't had 3 seconds to talk about it.. so now I'm flip flopping.. is it really the best? should they go to school? they're so social and love people.. would I be robbing them of valuable experiences? Do they need to be taught at home to really get a solid christian worldview or is that something I can achieve around school hours? And even more honestly.. Can I homeschool? Am I organized enough? will they be behind if it's up to me? Even just thinking about following a written out curriculum like abcjesuslovesme.com is overwhelming.. planning.. yuck! If I can't follow a plan for eating, how well would I honestly follow a plan for teaching? especially when there's so much work involved in getting lessons together.. (see the theme? I'm realizing that I'm lazier then I thought)
4. Camp
All the details of what's going on here at Kadesh.. what it's like for me when I'm not really involved in the day to day events at camp.. fitting being at camp with our schedule.. the challenge with boundaries and our family.. being a director's wife.. etc.
5. Bible
This is probably the one that all others grow out of.. there's so much to talk about this one.. I feel like if I start writing my point form notes, I'll just never stop..
Anyways I'm hearing K moving around so my time is just about up. I'll try to tackle one of those at a time in their own posts.
Also, here's a current list of books I have on the go.
I'll probably write about each of those at some point too.
I've gotta run but I wanted to say thank you for your encouragement to get back at this! At some point I expect an equally detailed update on your life.. :)
Blessings!!
