"If you don't see the real me, you won't see what love has won..." Vota

Put the puzzle back together, oh Lord.

Well my house is back to normal on the inside. The outdoor lights are still up and on. This is a job for hubby-- ladders and I are not a good mix. I have been accused of being a klutz a few times in my life and more recently CRAZY. So I think a klutzy crazy person has no business on an extension ladder. Anyhow, enough of the self-knocking, it feels nice to get back to normal.

I am currently taking a break from packing for the next 12 days. Hubby is taking the girls, dogs and me (myself and I too) to my mamma's house for a few days so I can visit with my sister who is in from out of town. I will also get to love on my nephew and my newest niece and my oldest niece too! I am very excited and so are the girls. I betcha Nanny will rethink her dreams of having 4 grandkids from each of us 3 kids. Haahaa haahhaa, can you imagine 12 children all near in age and running with excitement all around a rather small house... I am and I think it is funny. Well for this dream to come true, my baby sisters will have to take over the last two for me-- I'm stuck at 2 for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that my hubby is advancing in years and doesn't wish to be 65 at high school graduation. Anyway, BACK TO THE POINT, I will spend the last days of this year with my mamma, daddy, sister and her family and brother and his family. My dear old hubby :) will show up just in time to kiss me one last time before next year. Then we are off to his mom's house to spend the first few days of the New Year with her, and his baby sister and nephews. I am stoked (am I too old to use this phrase?)! What an awesome way to end this year and begin a new year.


After those few days at his mom's house we are headed back to my mamma's house so hubby can go to train for his perchloric acid clean up job at Y-12 in Oak Ridge. It gets even better... my uncle and aunt from Williamsburg are coming in to town the day after his training and we get to spend time with them and my aunt who lives in Chattanooga and my cousin. We may not have all gotten together right at Christmas but we are getting together.

There are a few disappointments that really break my heart. My mamaw was going to be coming and now is too ill to make the trip. She really doesn't feel well enough to travel such a long way. This makes me so sad for I was thrilled to tears last October when I found out she was coming. I guess God knows best. No, I know He does. There are a few more issues I will not go into that are even more disappointing. It kills me that I can't do anything about them either. I have no control. I can't fix things. I don't know how. It really... well I am crying now so that is what it does. I just wish Satan would give our family a break. We came so close to having the first real family reunion since I was 12 I guess. I was so sure God was going to answer my prayers on this. He seems to give me about everything I ask for. I guess this one is going to be a little lesson for me in patience. I know what His will is for us. He did put us all together in the same family for a reason. I just need to stop being so controlling and wait on Him. I need to stop being the spoiled child of God. I really have been spoiled by Him. Is that possible? He gives me so much and loves me so much. He loves my family that much too. I just imagine His heart hurts as bad-- probably worse than mine. He did not create us for strife. He created us to bring Him glory. I'll tell you what; God will be truly glorified if my family all comes together. I was counting on that picture! Oh Lord, You know my every thought and prayer. You know what we have all been through as a family and as individuals. Only You can fit us back together in the places where we were created to fit. Oh Dear Trinity, make our puzzle into a beautiful picture. I have not lost hope!

  8. Well they doooo get to graduate just like everyone else who finishes high school. It just depends on the umbrella school you are associated with as to where. My nephew got to graduate (though not homeschooled, but in a program for early graduates and homeschoolers called middle college) from a college with his diploma and many college credits all at once. Pretty nifty huh? There is one umbrella school, Family Life Academy, that they get to graduate at the Grand Ol' Opry or whatever it is in Nashville. There are co-ops for more local groups. They also have home school proms. Who'd a thunk it, huh?
