A Couple of New Adventures

In the past few weeks there have been 2 significant changes for me. I am truly excited about both.

Most of you know that Thomas takes home school tutorial classes in fine arts every Friday at Family Christian Academy. One of the classes offered to the middle and high school students is Creative Writing. The teacher from last year followed God's call to Europe and the space was vacant. In early summer I offered to tutor if a student needs a little extra help. (That's the joy of homeschooling, we share our talents with each other!) The administrator asked if I would consider teaching the class! Of course, I was thrilled to be asked but let her know that it probably wouldn't work since Lilianna and Elisha are home with me. She said she would pray about it, and I did, too. Weeks went by without a solution and nothing new from the administrator so I figured God's answer was no.

When I took Thomas on the first day of school, a Wednesday, the administrator approached me again. I started to explain the I had found no solution for see to Lilianna and Elisha. She cut me off halfway through my sentence with a gleeful, "Oh and I have someone to watch the babies here in the school while you teach!" I was so excited I got teary eyed. I had really wanted to teach this class and just as I had given up hope, God got me with a sneaky "yes." It got even better a week later when they asked me to teach Speech class also!

So that's New Adventure #1, I now teach middle and high school students Creative Writing and Speech on Fridays! Its amazing. I love the curriculum I chose and my students. The sitter is working out well. If the kids need me she just brings them to me. I even taught Speech a couple of weeks ago while holding Eli because he wanted to fall asleep on Mama.


New Adventure #2 is something I've done before but not in 9 1/2 years! I am now a consultant for The Pampered Chef. I am selling again. I thoroughly enjoy their products and their company. Everything is high quality and long-lasting. I have pieces that are 10 years old and work like the day I got them. If you are interested in hosting a Cooking Show in your home or just a catalog show please let me know! I love this new business, and I am excited to help you!
