Update on us

I guess it has been a little bit since I wrote something last. Things have been going really well for us. We moved and are now in our own place. Praise the Lord!! It is big enough for us and we love it! We are out in the country, and when I open the blinds to all the windows in my living room I feel like I am in the middle of a forrest. It is really peaceful and I even think we have a deer family living on our property. We pull up and they don't even run off. Anyway we are slowing getting back on track with homeschooling and chores. Another kid has started counseling and I hope to get a few more in soon too. I don't go to my Domesic Violence Support Group any more. I feel like that stage of my life has past. I am truely a survivor now and life is better.  Thinking about that was such a strange thought a while back, survivor??? But now that I am totally out of the picture I can look back and see things were really bad.  I guess when you are going through it, its hard to understand what is happening. I did survive, and now I thrive! I am amazed everyday that we have been rescued and how God has provided our every need every day! With no husband it is easy to see that God is my provider. I even get to stay home with my kids:)
 
 I Timothy 6:8 Now Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content.
 

I am learning to live my life so if I died tomorrow I can truely say I have done all that was required of me. I lived the life that God intended. That is my goal each day. For a smaller and fun goal this week I am trying to make each one of my kids laugh each day. I would like to set a new small goal for each week. So stay tuned.... :)
