With one kid in high school, one in middle and 2 in elementary...and I miss the freedom to just go volunteer w/ the kids....and to do housework in peace....and to meet the hubster for lunch....daytime bible study....<br />I will stop complaining and remember to pray for you and all moms, working and staying @ home!<br />&quot;Invigorate my soul so I can praise YOU well, use Your decrees to put iron in my soul.

It was so nice to see a pot pop up. You sound busy as ever but also happy. You sound like you made just the right choice, too.Susannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-32430818655168709802009-10-18T21:32:18.724-05:002009-10-18T21:32:18.724-05:00Katherine==<br />I hear you. I have the same mixed feelings about blogging. It&#39;s hard to put together thoughts when we are going through transitions. At least for me, it is. Just trying to sort out life, let alone a coherent blog post.<br />Your new life sounds exciting, though I know you are tired. God is doing some great things, I know.<br />I love your blog posts. They are always, always, a breath of fresh air.<br />Thanks for &quot;popping in&quot;. Will look forward to your posts when you can...<br />Also....new blog format???Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08247035131903329580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-76143632910646537692009-10-18T08:57:55.253-05:002009-10-18T08:57:55.253-05:00Katherine, I just happened on a whim to read your blog today. I stayed home from church today w/ sick 5yo and a playful 2yo! It was sweet and the most peace I&#39;ve gotten in weeks. <br /><br />We also have had a transition in our family, and my life doesn&#39;t seem the same as the past 2 yrs. But it is the task God has given me and I do find that there is &quot;joy in the journey&quot; (Michael Card song!).<br /><br />You are a blessing and an inspiration to me. Thank you for your honesty in sharing your about your life w/ so many. <br /><br />May God continually bless you and your family.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Debbie<br />P.S. Looking forward to having another driver in my household, too, but it&#39;s at least 4 years away!

Add the ministry into the mix and I feel successful if i make it through the week without a break down (meaning me, not the kids). Sometimes you are too busy living life to document it and that&#39;s ok...but it is good to hear from you when you check in.Cassandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11845050304928353063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-66213611102830553682009-10-17T11:39:21.794-05:002009-10-17T11:39:21.794-05:00Katherine! Good to hear how your family is doing. I was just thinking about you and praying for you yesterday. I know I&#39;ve said this before, but thank you for sharing your family and your life with us. You are such an inspiration!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Melissamholgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03418317558780973735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-52690904416723347082009-10-17T07:39:19.034-05:002009-10-17T07:39:19.034-05:00Oh Katherine, I was so excited to see your blog this morning. I keep in touch with what is happening with you all thru it. I have missed you so much!!!! Did not realize I was such a fan and follower til I wasn’t getting my feed every other day <br /><br />Loved Elizabeth Elliot’s quote. So true. It reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Jimmy Buffet. Since this song is a bit more profound and deep, it did ot make the Top 10! It’s called, “It’s my Job.”<br /><br />Here is a part of it:<br /><br />In the middle of late last night I was sittin&#39; on a curb <br />I didn&#39;t know what about, but I was feelin&#39; quite disturbed <br />A street sweeper came whistlin&#39; by, he was bouncin&#39; every step <br />It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept <br /><br />Chorus: <br />He said, &quot;It&#39;s my job to be cleaning up this mess <br />And that&#39;s enough reason to go for me <br />It&#39;s my job to be better than the rest <br />And that makes a day for me.&quot;<br /><br />Love you and miss you and your family. I am glad that you have 6 weeks under your belt, the major adjustments have been made, and now you’re at the point of perfecting and tweaking them. Smile, because it is the task that has been giving you. Like your chore chart. The task has changed. The old one is gone, but you have created the habit of doing those things, so you still need to do them, but you have a new focus, a new chore, to conquer just like the old one. Pat yourself on the back, you would never have gotten a new task if you had not been completely successful at the old task <br /><br />Love you – MaryMary McElyeanoreply@blogger.com
