LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE...

Gardens that need tending.

FROM THE CAMERA...
Hannah and Andrew are playing on our homeschool baseball/softball teams.  This has been a big breakthrough for Hannah.  She was often picked on and made fun of when it came to team sports.  So when she wanted to play softball I was thrilled.  The night before she was very nervous.  So much so that she was physically sick.  We got there and she was still very nervous.  So we took the time to pray.  One by one her teammates showed up.  First thing they did was their devotional time.  Then the coach told them to pair up and throw the ball around.  I held my breath...then all of a sudden a young man about 16 years old came up to Hannah and asked if she had a partner.  She told him no.  He grabbed a ball and was playing catch with her.  He has taught her all about catching the ball.  It is such a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful organization where I do not need to worry about my child being made fun of because she is different.

SOMETHING FUN TO SHARE...
I filled out my LAST financial aid papers for college!!  I will be done in December.

ON MY PRAYER LIST...
Our future children...might sound weird to some.  But God knows who will come into our home.
Military

BIBLE VERSE, DEVOTIONAL...
Proverbs 4:18
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."

I'm taking part in Happy Homemaker Monday over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

You know reading about Hannah's experience brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for her and so thrilled that there are still amazing young people like the young man who came up to her. What a blessing Jen :)
