Moving forward

The past few months have gone by so fast. Every time I look at this blog it just appears as one more thing to do in my list of things to do. Today I want to take some time to write. My teenager is great. I love her. I think if I make that my mantra for the next few years we will all reach the finish line. William and I are still homeschooling this year and planning on next year. This is really not a venture I saw myself on. Perhaps it is part of the refining process for me, who knows. Most days are good ones, some not so much. I wonder daily if I am doing everything I should be, but I suppose that is better than a complacency and prideful assurance that "all is well". I often think its the blind leading the blind. Emma is in art lessons and loves it, art and creativity are her passions. Michael and Allison are turning 8 soon. They are looking forward to their baptism in May, time has gone by so fast with them. My Kate is 5! She is still my baby, she still makes my heart smile.

I want to move forward every day, to move to the good. I want to be better every day in some little way so that in a year or a decade I can say I am becoming who God knows I can be. That makes my heart happy too.
