When school lets out you'll have the kids around to be a part of the project, and you could mix fun trips to the store with ice-cream, and maybe play a few board games inbetween working. <BR/><BR/>I love what you have done. You are making huge strides. God bless you Rachel. You truly have a mother's heart. Happy Mother's Day. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had that book you were talking about!!<BR/><BR/>KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123430890236503375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-12233632646399578532008-05-07T22:35:00.000-07:002008-05-07T22:35:00.000-07:00YES, I have the same thoughts as you do Rachel, I ...YES, I have the same thoughts as you do Rachel, I feel so pressed for time and making the right choices for my family! My middle son is just lost right now, wandering about in a fog. Please pray for Don and I to have wisdom to deal with him.<BR/>I love watching your house take shape and will pray that each piece of your porch will be present and accounted for when you get ready for that phase!<BR/>Bless you this week,<BR/>Donna LynnDonna Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199541594618454494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-74970958304511849892008-05-07T21:21:00.000-07:002008-05-07T21:21:00.000-07:00HI RACHEL, LOOKS LIKE YOU CONTINUE TO MEET THE CHA...HI RACHEL, LOOKS LIKE YOU CONTINUE TO MEET THE CHALLENGE WITH SUCCESS.

I think you are spending your time wisely in making and taking care of your home and family.<BR/>I'm going to be 62 in September and every single day I have thoughts of time going too quickly. There are so many things I'd like to experience; so many people I'd like to meet and love. So many projects I'd like to finish. So many kisses I need to give my children and my grandchildren and my friends. I so enjoy my life now and what I do with it but I find feelings of guilt creeping in when I'm checking my favorite blogs or blogging myself. Am I using my time wisely? How much more time do I have? Do I want to know? These are questions that undoubtedly have been asked by millions for eons before me; none have been able to come back and give us the answers! This I can tell you: As you grow older time passes faster and faster. It's Monday morning and then it's Sunday evening and you find yourself spinning through time so quickly that it is frightening! So hold on to all of the moments and they will add up to a lot of life lived.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>LivAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091639597137564500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-53021272417309595422008-05-07T18:59:00.000-07:002008-05-07T18:59:00.000-07:00Where DOES the time go??????

We still aren't finished with all the little detailing either and it's been 2 years.. :-).<BR/>Have a wonderful day!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692390176976273097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-47422008219627227512008-05-07T11:10:00.000-07:002008-05-07T11:10:00.000-07:00It is so much fun watching your progress.

The only solution I have is to pray frequently for guidance on how to spend my day. The question is, am I willing to listen? If He wants me to lay aside my projects, will I do it? It doesn't mean none of my projects are in His plan, but perhaps just not at the moment. He wants to spoil us, you know. He delights in seeing us happy and enjoying things, but He also needs our help with spirtual work. And we know that 30 years from now our children will remember the fun times we spent with them far more than how well dusted the furniture was. :-)Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274760327802884251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698461140157771343.post-22471657040190151022008-05-07T07:03:00.000-07:002008-05-07T07:03:00.000-07:00Yes!I can totally relate.Yes!<BR/><BR/>I can totally relate.Karla Cook @ Roads to Everywherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902429832411315003noreply@blogger.com
