Life at Oak Grove

A friend of mine posted something on facebook and I wanted to share it with you.   He had found this on youtube I imagine since I've found the code there...

Thanks to Albert Einstein for standing up and be firm on his faith.

Eveyrone around the world is experiencing hard times.

We thought we might not feel a thing since back in the 80s where there was a recession hubby didn't felt a thing because of being in the National Capital.

But this is a different time.   We are in 2009 now... and it hit hard everywhere.

We are currently looking in various options for us... for the company... for homeschooling.

I still have hope but the thread is thin.  very thin.

Only a miracle would help.   So God please bring contracts our way!  Thanks

So my husband offered for me to go up to the trailer by myself on Friday and Saturday...   I went with Bible, journal and books... planning to spend time with God and catching up on some reading.

Here's a little summary of the days.

ME, MYSELF AND...

• God obviously!


• the worship songs from Vineyard which moved me while I was driving


• the upside-down pizza - no comments


• the giant radishes - the Fraggles would have like them


• Max Lucado - I finished reading his latest book Fearless


• the Robot Wars - another book I needed to read to review


• prayer


• journalling


• getting encouraged by Amanda Bennett, the Lamberts (Five in a row), Terri Johnson (Knowledge Quest/Bramley Books), Malia Russel (Homemaking 911) and Cheryl Allin (TOS) from an e-book of TOS


• the rain falling.... (Saturday)


• the Word


• the cry of the owl on Friday night - Oh I wish I could have seen it


• exploring the book Heart of Wisdom sample document


• discovering my homeschool planner that I had just bought - The Well-Planned Day - I love it!


• the reminder to expect the unexpected


• putting me, the kids and our homeschool in God's hands


• an Xanadu (the movie)


• the drive back home in the rain because I couldn't go walk in the woods... well I guess I could have done it but honestly I didn't feel like being wet.

I had a good time but I want to go back when the leaves ar changing colors....
