Tired

I have been working so much lately at three different jobs and I am so tired. If I make it through this week, I will be very happy. Next week is much better and calmer. I am looking forward to an entire day at home -- nowhere to go sounds sooooo nice. 

On the positive side, the kids have been doing really well with this schedule. They have been getting their homework done while I am gone. That part has been going amazingly well. Jt has been working on improving his writing. That is our focus for this coming year. He has gotten much better with his attitude toward writing which I am grateful for that change. He simply has to learn to write better and kicking up a fuss won't get him out of it. 

So that is where we are at right now. Busy, busy, busy. And soon hockey starts and we will be really busy. I think I need a vacation.

VBS

My kids went to VBS at the church where we attend AWANAs. What a fabulous place!! It is not our home church but we have always loved attending AWANAs there. They are so nice. My kids just loved VBS tonight and were so glad they went. They came home just bubbling over with what they had discussed. The topic was on God's Wondrous Creation and that "God turned alot of nothing into something cosmically cool." They had so much fun. I am incredibly thankful for the leaders and volunteers that are making this time so special for my kids. I appreciate that they are leading my kids to God in a way that is fun and exciting. I hope and pray my kids will always remember the special times they had at VBS and that they will continue the tradition by taking their own kids to VBS. 

This is their key verse for the day:

Before the mountains were born 
or you brought forth the earth and the world, 
from everlasting to everlasting you are God
Psalm 90:2

bible verse

Today has been a rather trying day. There are days like that. I was working on our yearbook from last school year. I include bible verses and in the process of looking for one for a page I was working on, I came across this verse. It really spoke to me and was a comfort. 

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God. 
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 
Isaiah 41:10

I hope this verse speaks to you, also.
