The simple joys of childhood, no house payments, no bills hovering over your head, no work to be done (maybe a few chores to help out around the house). Simple living!!! I have been given the task to raise 4 amazing, beautiful children, each with their own gifts and talents, given to them by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!! What an overwhelming task at times!!! Especially in the face of a cancer diganosis. As far as I know, I am "cancer-free", hoping and praying that the nasty little bug will never return again in my life!!! But I am aware of the risk of recourance, a fact that will follow me the rest of my life. One Dr. said to me, once you reach 5 years, your good, 10 years and your golden!!! I am hoping and praying for ten years and beyond, so I can see my children grow into the adults that I am training them up to be.Raising children is definatley undervaulued in our society, for sure!!! Being a homeschooling, single parent, I am completley hands on every day, all day!!! I consider this a blessing, and a huge undertaking, one I hope and pray that I am succedding at each and every day!!
This picture, I simply entail "The Joy of Childhood" Simple, yet overwhelming at the same time.
I love my children with all my heart, I am blessed to have such amazing young people in my life everyday!!
Blessings to you today :) Shanda :)

So true!!!! Motherhood is such an honor, yet not a priority in our society today. We DO have a tremendous privilege to train up men and women that will love the Lord and not be so distracted by all of the glitter and fake happiness of the world. Can you imagine the impact of our 8 on world around them?
Love and prayers,
Cuz :)
P.S. Can you believe that it's been a year? And what a year it's been!
Shanda, I've been looking for a new post and here it is! The picture is great. You are doing an awesome job with the kids.
I often wonder what God has in store for them. What will they grow up to be? Where will they live? One thing for sure, they will grow up knowing that they have been loved. By God, you and all there family.
May God continue to shower you with His many blessings,
love always,
Michelle
