Vacation Week

We decided to do a"staycation" this year. We wanted to save some moola, and Tim was very serious about keeping me near home with our docs and all. It actually was a great week. We got to swim in our neighborhood pool all week by ourselves :) All the kiddos were in school so the privacy was niiiiiiice. We took the boys to the river a couple of days and to the national federation of turkeys. They loved it! Brayden did the best turkey call out of all of us. I beat Tim at "virtual hunting".......once....out of I'm not going to say how many times.... ;). Overall it's been a great week....a simple week. I loved it :)
We start homeschool this next week. I'm a bit nervous, but I know it will be fun. Bryson is super excited so that makes it better. I decided to include Brayden in our studies. I'm not doing anything "formal" with him. I figure he will learn and it will be alot easier than trying to entertain him while schooling Bryson. It will be a fun time with the boys....challenging I'm sure, but fun.
It seems like trust has been a theme for us this week. We expected an answer from God and He remained silent so it's obvious we must wait and trust. We got news that some blood levels are up that increase clotting. Willow Grace is at risk, especially if they go up any. It also increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. I know God has a plan in it all. I have felt like trust has been my spring board for learning all week long. It's hard to trust God with your child's life. It's hard to trust God with your own life. I want to see my sweet babies grow up. I want to grow old with Timothy. It's not dramatics; it's reality. Am I really willing to trust God with my child's life? With my own life? It makes financial trust, etc seem insignificant. I can't think about it too much to tell you the truth. I have to give it over to the Lord continually and leave it there. Regardless, His plan is perfect. His love is perfect. He knows it all, controls it all, and made it all. Why not trust? So here's to another week. I'm sure this week will be the same theme....trust :)
