Well, it has been quite some time since I have blogged here last. Kudos to those of you homeschool bloggers who write daily or close to it. I just don’t seem to have THAT much to say :-)….

The last time I posted it was our last day of school. My plan was to continue lessons but with a much lighter schedule. Well, that didn’t happen…at least the planned lessons didn’t. I decided and felt that mom needed a break…so I determined that I would take the rest of May off and start putting together our lesson plan for next year starting June 1…we start in July. So I did that and it has been wonderful. We have started a more regular schedule of establishing a discipline of blessing our rooms and the house, I’ve been able to keep up with the laundry and keeping some kind of dinner ready. I’m finding that I hear much less ‘whining/complaining’ and more ‘doing’ when I announce it’s time to bless the house or our rooms.

At night I would study my BPA materials and contemplate on our lessons for next year but I’ve not decided on much…well I do decide but I keep changing my mind…. It is very frustrating!! But I”ve decided not to stress over that but just stay in God’s presence and in His peace.

And in my attempt to stay focused on my family and home I let the blog ‘go’…. Sometimes I wonder what is the purpose of this blog in my life. It seems I could go without it but then I know I will miss sharing with all of you…so I keep it.

One of the BEST things I did for myself was to get back in God’s presence on an everyday basis. I”m not just talking about reading my bible everyday…that is the letter…but I”m talking about getting into the manifest presence of the Lord and have Him walk with me all day long thru worship and adoration and praise. I was shopping in Walmart and ran across Prophetess Juanita Bynum’s new CD release called A PIECE OF MY PASSION

I thought I was in 5am prayer again…I experienced God in a whole new way…God knows I needed the refreshment and renewal that only His Spirit can give. Our days come and go with such ’smoothness’(for lack of a better word) which I know is directly related to my mood/disposition/temperament. So this let me know that part of my stress from last year was not spending enough time in Him manifest presence AND I see that we need more breaks…not just 1 or 2 days here and there. So after each quarter is over we’ll take a 2-3 week break. We’ll see how that goes….9 weeks straight can seem like forever…but we’ll see how it goes.

I’ve also determined that maybe I won’t blog about my ‘plans’ b/c plans change and plans just don’t plain happen sometimes…so I think it is safer to blog ‘after-the-fact’.

So with that said I won’t spend time talking about what I ‘want’ to use for curricula and what schedule we will keep…I’ll just do it and then share it later - if it works out for us…
