Could it really be a month since I blogged? The summer has been so completely full...time is just rushing past and I feel like I'm caught in a strong current pushing me forward. Full of good things, but too many good things. Last night I decided that next summer we will have to learn to apply the word "no" to our vocabulary. I don't like the feeling of rushing here and there, I feel like I've missed too much time with my family.
The upside, the blessing, is that I have spent a lot of time serving the Lord, learning about the Lord, sharing the Lord side by side with my girls. But we've just been on the go so much...I would like some down time, family time. I guess that's one of the blessings about homeschooling. While most will be sending their children off to school in a couple of weeks, we will be settling in. The school year is our family time. It makes it easier to spend the summer serving and traveling. I am proud of all my girls have done this summer. They have really had the opportunity to give and serve these last couple of months. I am so glad they want to do those things.
We have a couple more weeks of activities planned, then most people will be back to school. That's when I plan to intentionally do nothing for a couple of weeks before we begin our school year. A little down time. A little play time.
