It has been a busy month.
I now have a 7 year old.
And a 1 year old.
Someone grew teeth.
Someone lost them.
And in all the confusion, someone tried to take my place on the throne.
I've also become a work at home mom of sorts. I started a website that contains over 90 pages of information about homeschooling:http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/
I failed miserably at balancing work and family, and I'm ready to return my focus to the home. The following picture of me at my desk should give you a clue as to what the past 2 months have been like:
I'll spare you photos of what 2 months in a computer chair has done to my waistline.
You'll notice changes at Pressing On as well. I'll post most of my family pics and stories on my new homeschool blog. However, one thing that won't change here is that I'll continue to share truthfully from my heart.
I started this blog with the intent of telling funny stories about my life and family, but I was led in another direction. I don't want to share unpopular thoughts about marriage and child rearing. And I really, really, REALLY don't want to talk about labeling and ADHD.
But those are the topics that nag me until I give in and type. And those are the entries that sit in my draft box for weeks, haunting me until I press "publish". And those are the topics, among others, that I will continue to blog about.
I no longer ask the Lord to make people like the things I say. I ask Him to give me the courage to speak boldy about the very things people don't want to hear.
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
At my funeral, it won't matter what those on earth say about me. I want to hear the Lord say, "Well done!"

First of all, those are some cute kids you've got there. Your daughter has beautiful hair!
And as for writing unpopular views, I'm at least one person you can count on more often than not to agree with you 100%. Truth requires responsibility and accountability and we live in a society that values neither- and in many cases despises both. (Ooh, that was pretty good! I'll have to write that on paper so I don't forget it.:-)
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a supportive comment. I understand how difficult it is when you are made to feel like a fish out of water simply because you choose to live by your convictions. Stay bold and keep the faith. There's a crown at the end of this journey for those of us who endure.
Go, Jazzy! I am so glad to see you posting again! You have done an awesome job on the website. And I have agreed with everything you've posted so far. :) I love your boldness for the truth. God bless you!
That was good, Terry!
Thank you for your comments.
