Man it bugs me when I finish praying (especially this morning) and then I get up and walk out of my room and the FIRST encounter i have with one of my children results in a 'cranky mama' outburst.
It especially bugged me this morning because I'm up to 1 Corinthians 13 in my bible...and I was particularly convicted by verses 4-7 which is really well known and not new to me, but you know how God just hits you with a scripture sometimes? Well, I got a good dose of conviction from this one this morning...
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
...not easily angered...mmm...not to mention the rest of it.
To change the topic, my shoulder/neck seems to be responding well to resting. Despite the fact that I'm being naughty and sewing a little something I've been dying to make (and kinda has a deadline for when it needs to be finished). I'll try and post a pic when I'm done :) which will be in a while cause I'm trying to make it in 15min chunks of time in an effort not to void all the 'resting' I'm doing lol.
Still researching the homeschool option...leaning towards not doing it now!! But that's why I'm researching and praying and really wanting to get God's leading on this one, cause it's not a small decision...
Better go do 15mins of sewing before the kids wake from their naps :)
Have an awesome friday - spring is on it's way!!! I see blossoms and daffodils despite the cranky weather. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Oh - duh! One of the main reasons I wanted to post today was cause I saw this embroidery and was so inspired!! It's amazing how a little inspiration can change you from never wanting to do embroidery again, to wanting to break out the sewing hoop right away lol.

I can't believe I read that now... Last night when I put Nicholas to bed I apologised to him for being a "grumpy mama" all day. He said "that's alright, because I love you." I told him that it wasn't alright...
I'm intersted in your homeschooling thoughts... I think I would want to homeschool my kids from ages 12-15! I know I won't, but I have this desire to have them close by me during those years. :)
It never ceases to amaze me how many times I'll read a post by someone else at exactly (or near enough) the same time I was thinking/going through the same thing. Interesting huh.
Yeah...homeschooling...lots of thoughts and that's about it at the moment! lol
