Hey friends!!

 So, my last post was a little over a year ago, after that post our life was literally turned upside down.

September 11th, 2023, we started our new school year with a curriculum that took a lot of work from not just the kids but me as well. It was going great, and for the first time in all my homeschool years we had everything organized and functional when we started. If you are a mom who homeschools then you know how excited I was 😂. However, that very weekend, we had to take a weekend trip 3 hours away to my mother's that was unexpected.

Little did I know this would be the Lord beginning to shift our life again. During this trip, my husband and I felt the Lord ending our current season and nudging us to move back to my hometown to help out at the church where I grew up, where we got married, dedicated our children and our son was baptized. 

That move was all God ordain, we hit every obstacle along the journey of getting our home ready to sell. Our water well went out and had to be replaced. Our buyer prolonged our closing 2 months. It was a very stressful and absolutely hectic time. We also knew the devil was definitely not happy, but we continued to pray and move forward.

We moved back mid-October and begun the search for where the Lord would have us settle while living with my mom, who also lives in a little community of just our family. 

It was a very taxing 5 months until we bought property. We have since purchased a home to go on the property and moved in, but there is work to be done. The housing market is absolutely crazy right now, no one can really afford to buy even with great credit scores due to high interest rates. We were blessed to buy our home and not have a house note.

I also started a job in the corporate world that is not far from our home. Thankfully the hours work great with our homeschool schedule. The Lord knew I would need to be working because 3 months into working, my husband got laid off due to our economy. 

We changed curriculum again this year because we learned that our kids are not a lot of bookwork homeschoolers. If you haven't looked into Acellus-Academy or Power Homeschool, I highly suggest it! We absolutely love it. The curriculum is great for catching and holding your child's attention! 

So, this is just an update on our life, so many lessons were learned in this last year. I will be posting as I feel the Lord leading me to share. 

I pray all of you are doing well. I will continue this blog in the full intent God had me start it, just bear with me as life has been extremely challenging for us. I'd love to hear from you, feel free to reach out.
