The Silent, but not Forgotten Blog

February.  Yes, that was my last blog entry.  That was before a big dose of craziness hit our family!  It is good craziness, but it is craziness just the same!  I am vowing to be a better blogger.  Partially because I think I may have a few followers who haven't given up on me completely and partially because it is good therapy for me amidst my craziness!  So here we go...I would say I'm throwing more snowballs at you, but it's May now.  So here are a few seeds I'm planting for future blog subjects...

• Holy Spirit Retreat:  Was AWESOME!!!  I learned so much about myself and discerned so much over the weekend!

• Wartburg Theological Seminary now has 2 Lindley students!!!  Yes, crazy!  I am a "Discovery Student" right now, but as soon as I turn in my candidacy essay I will be admitted into the Diaconal Ministry program!  

•  Finishing up my first semester...well, why waste time, right?  I switched my classes from "audit" to "credit"...and I am just finishing them up.  I have loved every minute of my class time.  The professors are amazing and so knowledgeable,  and I am learning so much. 

•  Whose "call?"  OUR call!  I am realizing more and more each day that this journey we (the Lindley family) are on is a FAMILY CALL!  God has great things planned for all of us, including the kids, and I can't wait to watch it unfold a little more each day.  Every day I feel we are claiming this family call more and more.  It is so exciting!

• Part of our Family Call is homeschooling...I have had my share of doubts this year in particular about whether or not Steve and I are supposed to keep the homeschooling piece in our family.  I have had people question me on it..."wouldn't it be easier to put them in public school?"  Yes, it would be easier...but that doesn't mean we should!   As I have discerned my part of our family call, it has become quite clear that homeschooling is part of our family call.  I have had so many "moments" in the past month that have confirmed that.  So onward we go!  (And I have 2 large ABEKA boxes sitting here beside me with next year's curriculum in them to prove it!)

This is just a bit of what's brewing in my head right now for future blogs!  I am so happy to be back, and I promise to get to the blog more often!  Thanks for stopping by and not completely giving up on me!  Blessings to you!
