REFRESHING OASIS

it has been a wonderful four days of inspiration, sharing, encouraging, laughing, crying and eating yummy food with girlz who are walking similar paths..........isn't God gracious in allowing these times to let us know that we're not travelling the road alone, that someone else has been there before us, someone is beside us and others are coming behind who we can help and encourage.........this has been a little 'oasis' in the life of one homeschooling mum.........a big thank you to those special ones who made it all possiblex

LONG WEEKEND RETREAT

Last weekend we spent our annual long weekend with the A's at the Lake. Lots of fun was had.......travelling in convoy with w-t's, putting up tents in the dark, yummy food, lots of swimming and boating fun, the Homemade Muesli Triathlon, chocolate chip biscuiting/cream doughtnutting with only oar power, baking bread over an open fire, collecting walnuts, playing games (and possum tricks!), eating yummy food, chatting, reading and generally just relaxing. Thanks for the great time A family, we loved the time spent with you.

*HEART OF HEARTS*

I had a visit from a good friend today, someone who I regularly spend time with. She is always calm, gentle and never-changing, in other words......serene. Today I saw another side of her, one I haven't really seen before.......a tired, broken heart, a heart that loves her man and her children dearly, who wants only the best for them but a heart that has become overwhelmed with the day-to-day ups and downs of home-educating and parenting. We chatted, we prayed, we laughed and we cried together. I know just how she is feeling........not knowing what to do next, not knowing how to solve the problems, not being able to step out of the mire.

Thankfully we know a God who loves us right where we are, who knows how we are hurting, who is compassionate and who gives us wisdom as to what the next step might be.

I feel privileged to have seen your heart of hearts today. Thank you for sharing honestly with me. I'll continue to pray for you...........sending you lots of lovex
