While most of the people who read this initially will likely already know me, I'll introduce my circus anyway. :) I call our crew a traveling circus, not because we have exotic animals or are gypsies, but because we bring entertainment with us wherever we go! There is NEVER a dull moment with us around. I should clarify - it's not always entertainment in a laughing, fun sort of way, but at least you can learn something from watching us! :)
Anyway, my sweet husband works his tail off to carry the costs of a growing circus. We are so blessed to have him as the leader of our family! Our kids are 13 years old, nearly 12, 5, 2, & 15 months. God humored me and my slightly OCD personality, and they are perfectly girl/boy/girl/boy/girl. Any other kids will have to fit this pattern. :)
Our family is not your traditional American-dream-chasing family. I heard it said once that being a stay-at-home mom is like taking a vow of poverty. On some months, I feel like that might be an accurate description! But we have decided that we can best accomplish God's call on our lives if I stay at home with our kids to raise them up and teach them. Our oldest two attend public school and live with their mom & step-dad. We're homeschooling our 5 year old, and plan to homeschool the little two as well. Our main goal as a family is to encourage each other to have a close, real relationship with Jesus Christ, while pointing anyone else we come in contact with in the same direction.
So, who knows what this blog will turn out to be like! But I'm excited about this new way to share my life with you! I love to organize, craft, homeschool, and a ton of other things, so I'm sure there will be a wide variety of posts. If you have any topic ideas, please let me know!
In the meantime, I pray that God will open your eyes to see how He is at work around you and that He'll give you the courage to be a part of it!
