This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Wed. update

First of all, thanks Les for the cyber hug. I appreciate it sooo much. Hugs means someone loves you, and I needed that right now, in this time of my life.

Please pray for my mom; she has been terribly ill, and has more tests tomorrow. Dr. thinks it was the flu and she is just having trouble regaining her strength. We are asking God to touch her if it be His will.

This week has been much better. The lists are helping so much. Dorcas, thanks a million for suggesting that I make a list of priorities. I made a list for each day what to do besides my usual work, and homeschooling, and it is really helping. I even managed to get some auctions put on ebay today.

Tues. Missie and I went to Reedy Falls Park and enjoyed it immensely. I will post some pictures. I am taking lots of pictures of Missie and her activities as this is her last year of middle school; she will be in high school next, and it is also her last year of homeschooling, Lord willing.

Tomorrow Missie goes to Laura's, (Byler) to do home economics with her, in the a.m. So that will be very good for her. Thanks Judy, with all you have going on in your life, you took time for Missie, to encourage her and help her; and for that I am so humbled and grateful. It will give me a couple of hours to be by myself. I may grocery shop. Mildred will be here with Preston.

Mildred is starting to work Tues., Thurs. and Fri. - 3 hrs. each day. On Friday, I have been asked to teach a class at the homeschool co-op at Abundant Life Church in Berea, as Missie attends co-op there. I am kind of excited about that. I will be doing crafts, and we will be making Christmas gifts; the children and I.

So overall, things are looking up. I am cleaning out stuff to prepare for the big move. We cannot move all of this stuff. You wonder where it all comes from. We are excited about it all; it seems this is the right time in our lives for us to move on. When we moved here, some things were different than they are now, concerning schooling for Missie. There was a holiness school; but it is now closed. And Missie is at an important part of her life, and needs a good holiness school and holiness friends. So we have to put her ahead of our own desires; because our greatest desire is for her to go this way of Holiness. No cost is too great to help her achieve this.

Thanks for all of the prayers. I have felt them and appreciated them.
