Everything and yet Nothing at all

Ever have those times that you feel like your life is in a whirlwind, and you have a mind boggling amount of things to do, but when asked what's happened in your day you can't think of a single exciting thing? We continue to plug along (very very slowly) with the unpacking. It is amazing to me how much longer it takes to "set up shop" with 6 instead of 3 children. A lot of our day is consumed with just keeping the status quo instead of getting ahead. But that's okay, no rush, the boxes are kind enough to sit there waiting for us.



Stephanie has had a good week. She seems to really like her new school. She has even shared with me a peer pressure situation where she totally stood up for her and her friend when someone wanted to involve them in something she was uncomfortable with. I was so proud of her and her friend was in "awe" that Stephanie would stand up to this somewhat scary person. Stephanie's response to that was "I'm not scared of her!". Once again it is proven that there are some UP sides to being a strong and unbending child (even if it is hard to parent one). This gave us a chance to talk about the pressures at school, what the bible says about these pressures, and pray together. Dare I say it... a moment of BONDING!!! Thank you Lord!
