Bible Study

I have come to the conclusion that I need to keep up with blogging. It would be wonderful to go back a couple years from now and see how much my faith has grown and how far I have come in life.

Well, tonight was our first night back to bible study. We haven't been going like we use to every single Tuesday for a long time now. Probably before I started working at the post office; which was quite a long time ago. I am so happy tonight went as well as it did. For Kye I mean. He was excellent on how he behaved! It's not the ideal place for a toddler, with there being no toys or a huge place to run around but there is something that he absolutely loves there; puppies! The Showard's have two little puppies which Kye loves dearly. He goes back and forth to their cage to keep checking on them. It's so cute. 

However, I just love being around this group of strong people. They are so encouraging and open. They make me feel so welcomed as soon as I walk in the door. That is, after they say hi to Kye and then notice ME! Haha. I am used to that though. 
I have learned so much from them and am continuing to learn more. I learn something new every time I am able to be completely focused and hear what Mr. Bill is teaching on. 
I introduced myself to a book that Mr. Bill said he refers back to when he is studying a certain book in the Bible. It is like a commentary which explains the Bible in depth which helps interpret every little detail about what is being taught. I'm really interested in it and hope that I can find this book to have for my own to refer back to when I am having trouble understanding. 
SN: Some times I wish I could be able to just go to Barnes & Noble every now and then to just be able to have some quiet time to myself and be able to read. I would be able to focus so much more. Just being in that environment at B&N is so relaxing and peaceful. I could never make that happen with Kye though, that boy is a wild child. Hopefully one day I could be able to enjoy sitting down in a quiet place and be able to have reference to any book I need to help me learn a little more. 
I really pray that this will keep up and I will continue to go every Tuesday night. It is such a blessing to be able to be a part of this bible study that I can call my own and to learn so much.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assem...
