Christy-FAITHeducation wrote a new blog post: The Truth about Motherhood, Homeschooling, and Life’s Highs and Lows…

We have all experienced it…The rush of adrenaline when something is new… That feeling of exhilaration when we hear from God and follow his command.  Then it happens…
The mundane routine of normal life.

I resolve this year to begin anew,
A fresh start,
A clean slate,
To try, to fail, to try again,
I want to pursue my dreams of the future more than regarding my mistakes of the past as long as I am learning from my mistakes in the present to make my future dreams a reality.
Our family [...]

Christy wrote a new blog post: How will you be remembered?

Tonight my family and I gathered with neighbors for a potluck dinner.  It was a pleasant night with good food, and lots of neighbors, old and new, getting to know each other better or trading old stories with long-time friends.  The only drawback to the evening was the reason we had all gathered.  A dear [...]
