October 9, 2013 So, I decided to paint a pillow. How does this go along with My Moving Challenge? ? Well, I’m tying it in by explaining how important it is to use what you have…by moving things around the house. You see, this was formerly an outdoor pillow. Even more perfect for a little […]
Moving Writing
October 8, 2013 This post is a part of a 31 Days Challenge: Today, I had a quick conference with Amber after school about writing. We talked about progress and what really works for us. I talked about how I have really seen my third graders grow as writers and I attributed it to the paragraph diagram. […]
Moving Words
October 7, 2013 This is Day 7 in a 31 Days Challenge: This verse from our sermon yesterday keeps coming to my mind: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord…” Colossians 3:23 (NIV) And this…our memory verse for this week from the edition of HomeLife. You […]
Move Out of the Way
October 6, 2013 This post is Day 6 in a 31 Days Challenge: This morning in our children’s sermon, Miss Jennifer said this: Move out of the way so that God can work through you. As this Sunday comes to close, I’m praying to release the control I still have on a few things because […]
Real Life Moving
October 5, 2013 This post is Day 5 in a 31 Days Challenge: I keep telling my friends I’m going to put a disclaimer on my front door that says, “Give me at least til Christmas and we’ll look somewhat moved in.” But I’m not sure that’s even true. Christmas will be here before we […]
Moving: Standing Still.
October 4, 2013 This post is Day 4 in The Nester’s 31 Days Challenge: Moving#StandingStill….An oxymoron? Not sure….I probably should ask my mother-in-law… I realized just how much we are constantly moving to the next thing at our amazing Ron Clark experience with my school (more on that in a later post). Another teacher mentioned she felt […]
Moved. By Family…
October 3, 2013 This post is Day 3 of The Nester’s 31 Day Challenge: A year ago today, my first grandparent died. For my whole life, my husband’s whole life, and my (at the time, one) child’s whole life, we all still had all four grandparents and [Kuy] great-grandparents. Until that day. My grandfather died from pneumonia. […]
31 Days: Day Two of Moving
October 2, 2013 This post is Day 2 of The Nester’s 31 Day Challenge: On this second day of 31 days of Moving: in all aspects of life, I’m more nervous I won’t have enough to talk about but this morning my devotion had this verse and confirmed what I feel challenged to do. […]
31 Days Challenge: Moving
October 1, 2013 Moving outside our comfort zone is hard. It’s tough. It’s a true challenge. This 31 day challenge for me is more than just our story of moving homes. It’s about moving my family, moving my faith, and moving outside the comfort of what I know to be easy to actually just doing […]
I Thought It Would Be Harder
September 16, 2013 I thought it would be harder. I thought I would miss the old house more. But already, I love this house. I love the openness. I loved on moving day that everyone stood around and was eating and talking at the bar. I love looking out the window and seeing Kuy play […]
