Dear Friends,
God is so amazing, He has proved himself to be ever faithful as he has provided finances over and above what we were asking for. A big thank you to all of you who have responded to Gods promptings and who have contributed to being a part of Gods answer to our prayers, you are wonderful.
Another answer to prayer in this last month has been the approval to push forward with the pilot for the foundations for farming project. Talks are now underway with the regional offices in order to figure out where and how to next move forward. We are also very thankful that the health of the boys has improved and thus allowing us to catch up on some much needed sleep.
Having shared much about what Ed gets up to in previous letters we thought that this month we would share a little of what life is like on the home front. With 3 little people around all day everyday things can get somewhat rowdy at home, and with no playgroups or mums and tots to go to we have to get a little more creative, and I am having to learn to be ok with getting messy.
A Homeschooling lifestyle has been a challenge but on the whole a very positive one where together we have been learning much more than just academic studies.
Two mornings a week Alana goes to ‘Kumon’ where she is studying Maths and Spanish. From there she has homework to do every day (except Sundays) which we do every morning after breakfast. We then get out of the house for a breather to either buy bread or play in the park, before returning for a snack. After this Lucas has a morning nap. Isaiah has just recently started joining us for our study time, where by Alana and I focus on her studies until lunch time. Our afternoons are then free for playing, or ballet (which Alana does 2 times a week).
I am so thankful for the privilege of being able to be at home learning with my children. Yes there are times when I just want to scream (sometimes I do!), but the moments when I hear them happily playing and giggling, or Alana suddenly talks about something we have just been studying, of which I wasn’t sure she was understanding at all makes it all so worthwhile.
Thank God for:
- Providing the finances we needed
- Approval of foundations for farming project
- Improved health of the boys
Ask God for:
- Guidance for the foundations for farming pilot
- Patience and understanding of each of our children
- Wisdom in some of our more complicated relationships
Ed, Sarah, Alana, Isaiah & Lucas
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
