Amazing Grace....

Amazing Grace...How Sweet the Sound...
These words transform me into a place of praise and wonder.
Love for the God of the Universe...
Joy Unspeakable...
Peace...

Welcome to my blog...a place for the happenings of the day and the thoughts of a scattered mind! Hopefully, a place for an encouraging word. I hope to learn quite a bit about making this more of a homey place...a place to grab your coffee or tea and chat...like neighbors used to do over their fences. I am sure that I will not be able to visit alot...you have your things to do and I have mine, but when we do come together, I hope it will be time well spent.
Let me introduce myself...
I am Carrie...married to Dana for 16 years. We have five children who fill our days with laughter, love, joy, some frustration and alot of teachable moments. We have chosen to homeschool and pray that God will help us to walk faithfully down that path, being good stewards of all that He has entrusted to us. We have not been given a super abundance of patience and are not naturally gifted and creative teachers...but we have a firm conviction for our family and follow this path of sacrifice for such a short time...time sure flies when measured by growing children!
I love to read and preparing for school keeps me busy! I cannot tell you HOW thankful I am for the public library. I also enjoy scrapbooking (alot) and sewing (some)...there is not much time for these activities through the course of a day though.
Our children, four boys and one girl, range in age from 2-14...I am sure you will get to know them over time...
Introduce yourself when you have time! Time for me to go...we'll chat soon!
