We can all relate, I know. <br /><br />This line of yours speaks the most to me today from this post: "{it] depends on where I set my sight." Do true. Lord, help me to set my sight on you and your ways. <br /><br />Thanks, Kara. <br /><br />Merry Christmas, <br />Jennifer Dougan<br />www.jenniferdougan.comJennifer Douganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659224247916807471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963904886344675653.post-82352352975181920162015-11-12T21:59:38.516-06:002015-11-12T21:59:38.516-06:00Are you feeling better lately?

Yes, "the walls, the words, and how to take them all down after they go up." Beautiful. Hard some moments but so worth it, huh?

These words, thoughts have been essential to my walk on this eternity road. The Holy Bible states that every day is completely brand new. Easy to choose these words each day? Nope. But I really Do appreciate all He does for & in me & my family. In Eccl. it says that God "..seeks that which has passed by..."... I don't understand that. Chewing on that for couple days. I know I've read those Words before but yesterday The Holy Spirit of The Living God "High-Lighted" those Words to me. So looking forward to His Comprehension. ........

I have never watched a zombie show but one day, a couple years ago, I was shopping in Target and probably about 20 or so (high school or college age) young people all dressed as zombies came swarming through the store. Kids were crying and I have to admit being slightly frightened myself.

I think many of us moms who never before saw homeschooling in action, started out by copying traditional schooling because that was all we knew how to do. I pulled my son out of first grade to homeschool him and at first I went crazy trying to follow a rigid boxed curriculum. On top of that, I printed out the whole school rubric for first grade and started using it as a check-list! I impressed my friends, but it didn't take long for me to realize that my son was miserable doing worksheets and that my nature is to push against the box anyway! So we ditched it all in favor of a lot of library visits, nature walks and child-led learning or in other words, we unschooled for his elementary years. We created a lot of special memories together.Camiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019972786838081366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963904886344675653.post-39845091335408213662015-09-18T05:49:58.637-05:002015-09-18T05:49:58.637-05:00Thanks, Mindy. :) You gotta laugh, right?

If it is another kind of insect I will scoop it up and return it to the outdoors. We once got a small lizard in the house (not sure where it came from...) and I had to rescue that one and deposit it far from home to live out its life. My husband is not a fan of reptiles!

Our ring story is similar. The baby clothes? I too have saved some sentimental outfits away in drawers and consider them special. My journals... yes! Protected and carried from country to country. What a special drawing from your friend too. <br /><br />Re your comment on my post "When Scrunched Up Faces Reveal Secret Fears," wow, yes, those are several similarities. Thanks for the website idea and the new term as I learn more about dyslexia. I like that term. <br /><br />Jennifer Dougan<br />www.jenniferdougan.comJennifer Douganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659224247916807471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963904886344675653.post-11073161064231816142015-03-30T15:33:46.280-05:002015-03-30T15:33:46.280-05:00A fun way to know you better : )A fun way to know you better : )Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612406279237224676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963904886344675653.post-75047111825171423932015-03-29T21:01:25.395-05:002015-03-29T21:01:25.395-05:00I love seeing what your favorite items are!I love seeing what your favorite items are!Anna Whiston-Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14921348961654008115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963904886344675653.post-85308171233032481212015-03-26T07:36:50.755-05:002015-03-26T07:36:50.755-05:00Right, Mindy?
