That is what we are doing this year! It has been tough getting into the swing of things this year. The house has been revamped, we have a new room mate, we have a packed schedule, and full course loads, and a couple reluctant learners. Equal a lot......So we are still trying to figure it all out and leaning heavy on the Lord. Day by day! He has a plan and it IS good and it is FOR my good.
Being Conformed Daily,
Kim
