Institute in Basic Life Principles

There are more things that I need to get caught up posting about than I even have time to think about. We are moved, not really all settled in. I'm now answering calls, scheduling and ordering for Allen on top of all the daily paperwork and invoices. We picked up school again about 3 weeks ago. So we are learning to be really flexible. If we are in the middle of school and the business phone rings than that becomes the priority for the moment. It has been difficult on all of us to not have the flexibility to just pick up and run errands, g0 someplace during the day and have often play dates. But in the long run, it is with purpose and will be for the best.

Have you heard of Institute in Basic Life Principles? It is a great seminar to attend you have have never been. I got (had) to go in high school, mainly because I couldn't be trusted at home alone for that time being. But what I learned stuck with me this entire time. They have an upcoming seminars in many different areas. So if you do not have a vacation planned and want to do something life changing I would suggest looking into attending one near you. You will never regret it. I still have my manual and have referred to it many times over the years.

They also have study materials, a home school course (which we are praying about for future years), and devotionals.

Just wanted to share this with you all.

I'm glad you are getting used to the "new schedule," although I know it will take more "getting used to" for awhile.
You are doing a good job!
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

I'm glad you are getting adjusted to your new place. I saw your hubby's truck the other day on my way home from my in-laws so I gave you a wave. :)

I've never heard of this material before but with a pre-teen now I need to start investigating this type of thing so I'll look this up. Thanks! :)

Praying for you guys!

Highway Horror

We were on our way back to college after a fun weekend trip to a friends home. The windows were down to allow at least the breeze in since it was scorching hot outside and this car had no air-conditioning, in fact, we were lucky it ran at all. And with the windows down, we actually had a nice cross breeze with the holes in the floor board.We were singing to whatever song we could find on the stations in the middle of Kansas on some little mostly unknown highway. It was the quickest route between Manhattan and Wichita. There are many things in life to fear and many things to fear in the flat lands . I had been in Wichita on two separate occasions when there were tornadoes , but this threat was even worse. On a long stretch of quiet highway we enjoyed the beautiful sights of the pastures and sky. There were several tractors working in the fields and mowing in the ditches. Up ahead of us, there was something covering the entire road for as far as we could see. As we neared, it lo

Devotion for Baby Shower

I am so sad to miss out on this opportunity to get to celebrate LeAnne and the gift of this baby boy. I was asked to share a devotional and while honored, I also know my wisdom and experience pales in comparison to many ladies that are in LeAnne's life. Especially the example of her mom Judy. I am so thankful for their close relationship and friendship and the instruction that her parents and Josh's parents give to them to seek after the Lord. The is no greater accomplishment. My own parenting has been a constant learning process and with each new child I realize how little I only thought I knew. I pray for less of me and my weaknesses so that HE can fill and lead our family. Devotional: Live Fully in the moment. While it is easy to love a sleeping, snuggling, cooing baby. Kisses on warm fuzzy heads & velvet skin. Chubby little fingers, toes and thighs. That breathtaking love so deep that our hearts hurt as they sigh and find utter fulfillment resting on our chests.

Teen Driver

My blood pressure is surely thru the roof!  We have a new teen driver.  An overly confident boy who has been, "driving for years." I reminded him that while he is doing a fantastic job the majority of the time, the lawn mower and the occasional farm truck during hay season does not a professional driver make.   I ran errands with him today for almost 2 hours.  And while I never let out a screen or grabbed the "oh crap!" bar, I can confidently say that my nerves can only handle the 1st hour.
