One Week Down

Today is the first day of our second week of school. We've decided to work today, after all it is Labor Day! :) Actually, we have our first field trip of the year planned for tomorrow. We're going to Mammoth Cave. So we're working today, so we can play tomorrow!

Our first week of school was draining, but I know we will get back in the swing of things soon. We are doing a new online curriculum and that always takes a little bit to navigate and get to know the site. But my boys are very "tech-savvy" and it was momma that needed the help! :)

The online stuff is perfect for us. I watch a baby two days a week (a very cute and kissable one, I may add) and being able to log on anywhere and see how the boys are doing is very convenient. Matt is here on those days to help give instruction, but sometimes they just need things explained in a different way. And I can sign in wherever I am, and see the exact lesson and assignment that they are on!

I'm still a little concerned with how I will balance homeschool and church planting. Last week, I felt like I had given more attention to church than I did my children. That kind of guilt is heavy... I know I was called here to plant this church and if I don't do certain things, well...they just don't get done. But, my boys must always come before my ministry... So, I'm still working on this one.

"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." ~John 14:27
