thougths from me | Luv'N Lambert Life

I keep telling myself that I am going to come up with a better system for blogging and an idea for weekly posts yet that doesn’t happen. So hear I am again, giving a blog update very quickly because our busy life is consumed with living and not with writing at this time. Maybe one day the writing will come but for now I’m content to simply live life.

At this point, I’m back to the house overhaul. My birthday is coming up and all I can keep thinking is how I want this or that for the house – not a lot for me, myself. I’d love to put in new bookshelves that are sturdier than the ones we are currently using, made of real wood to hold the weight of all the books we own. Heck, I’d love to buy a building just to house my books! That’s a dream in itself!

Speaking of the shelves, my current cleaning is to catalog all the books so that I know what I’m using. I’m doing this with both Classroom Organizer online which I can use with the laptop or my phone to scan in ISBN numbers. I’m also using my BookCrawler app so these are stored in two separate places and maybe I can keep up a little easier with what we do and don’t have already. I’m pretty good though as only a few multiples have made it into our home library!

For now, we have a break in doctor’s appointments for the kids and my Mom. This small break will be devoted to cleaning and clearing junk in the house and our lives and also to school, field trips and lessons that must be completed. Yet, another reason our days are busy and full right now. When it’s too hot or too cold to be outside, we do school! Oh the perks of living in ole South Carolina!

So that is my update for now, for lack of an idea of anything else to post today. Perhaps my brain will regain function after I get some of this mess organized.

Until next time…

Have you ever thought about how the things in your past affect your day to day now? As a little girl, I remember playing like most children. I would play dolls and I would teach them. I also loved to sing.

As an adult, I often think back to those childhood days and how those times of play have truly prepared me for my future, for today. As a child, I never imagined that I would be teaching my children at home. I always thought my career would be in education and that I’d also be singing somewhere outside of my home and church.

I remember sitting down with my dolls and with my imaginary pals, pretending I had an entire classroom in front of me. I remember passing out pencils and worksheets, having those students complete tests and reviews of schoolwork. I remember holding music classes with those students, singing and teaching those dolls to sing, too.

Now I have real students in my children and I know that all of my play was provided by God to prepare me for His will. I am equipped by the Lord for this job that He’s provided me. This is God’s plan come to life.

As a parent, I always allow my children plenty of time to play and use their imagination. I do not direct their playtime. I know from my own experiences that the things they learn and the actions they take during their play is God’s way of preparing them for a future that I cannot personally understand. One day they will each do great things but these things will be as God has chosen for them in order to glorify Him. Only He can lead them on this path that He wishes for them to follow, just as He has done for me before them.

What ways has God prepared you for your own journey in life? What ways does He prepare your children?
