Oh Snap!

Well, I did it again. Holy ba-jeebas (?) batman! Look at the date on my last entry.  Yikes.

Ok, so it’s been a crazy hectic end-of-school-year-summer.  I honestly have been engrossing myself into some good books, keeping myself daily in the word and striving to be a better Christian example in my home.  Of course having the girls running amuck everyday doesn’t make things calmer. 

Hard to believe one of our kids is a High School graduate.  That is proving to be quite the transition. For us.  We were expecting a change in our parenting style when Ian turned 18, but failed to prepare ourselves for this transition!  He’s great and we love him but this boy is going to have to figure it out on his own.  The concrete is hard and cold, but he’ll do just fine.  I’m sure once the cash runs out he’ll be 1. Working more and 2. Finally enrolled in college. Better late than never, right?  Yes, he is still living at home…just thinks this is either Motel 6 or a frat house.

Few books to recommend:

Circle Maker (Mark Batterson)

Screwtape Letters (CS Lewis) if you haven’t already.

And always…Not A Fan (Kyle Idelman)

I’m going to move on to a John Piper heavy reader…I need some good sustenance to chew on.

 

I know this is short, but sitting here my eyes are heavy and I’m brain dead.  Kids went down without a problem so maybe I should follow suit.

 

In Him,Forever Blessed~
