Best of 2020
I understand that life is filled with both the glorious snippets and devastating circumstances sprinkled throughout a calendar year. But I challenge you to look back and find the GOOD of what God did each month. Maybe it was that you had some time to yourself to really invest in your passions. Or maybe you had a really bad month but it was the same month that you caught up with a lifelong friend over Zoom. Maybe you bonded with your kids or had a baby in the midst of COVID. Whatever the case, I want to end 2020 with a heart of thankfulness and always see what God did rather than what I think was missing.
Homeschool Update
If you're doing the homeschool thing this year, you know that some days are just flat out rough. Then, some days we do all the things and I go to bed feeling so content and thankful. And then some days are in between. Regardless of how crazy the week may be, I see now more than ever that we are doing holy work.
Homeschool Round-Up
As you know, we're homeschooling for the first time this year! Wesley, our 6 year-old was supposed to enter Kindergarten in August 2020, so we'll be doing kindergarten and first grade with him. Reid our 4 year-old will be doing Pre-K and Kindergarten, and then Nate will just be tagging along learning basic preschool concepts.
