So after our hospital fiasco.......

Things are calming down after a busy start to the week.. My little guy has been home all week.  I have secretly loved having my boy home with me this week.  This reminds me of the days I homeschooled all three and we would just have a LARGE time at home with each other.  God please give me strength, wisdom, unity, and clear direction. 
I've had a productive week cleaning, cooking and mowing the lawn.  Yes, mowing th lawn!! The Mr. said he couldn't handle it until the weekend. I couldn't stand driving up to the jungle one more day so I gave him a head start.  My yard seriously looks like the kids cut it, but at least the grass isn't up to my ankles.
I also got a chance to hang the drapes I made, it really changed the look of the living room.  I'm excited that our little home is coming together.  I am seriously trying hard to be faithful over this humble beginning.  I want to show God that I am thankful for the provision he has made for this family.  I want to use my time to honor him by keeping my house in order, use my talents as a resource to decorate and furnish our home and use my home as a place of refuge.  I know works is not what God requires of us.  I could never "do" enough to show him how much I appreciate Him saving me.  So, I just consider these things small acts of worship and thanksgiving.
I still have some things I want to do to our home (is a girl ever really done decorating) but as God provides!  Come on over and have some tea!

  1. Oh my word! You did so good on the curtains~I love how they're kind of shimmery! I love that painting, too...I'm a huge fan of color in the home. Our house looks like a box of crayons threw up all over the walls...our living room is blue, our kitchen is sunshine yellow, our dining room is green, our bedroom is red~you get my drift, right?! It's definitely not boring...

    I love seeing how other people decorate. I feel the same way~that keeping our home clean and well taken care of is an act of worship to our Most High King. :) You're such a kindred spirit...I just love getting to know you! I'm so glad we "found" each other. :)
