Today starts a new adventure in the Gregory home. I am coming home to be a full time Homschooling mom after working outside of the home part time for the last two and a half years.

Its time.

We know this is the right move.

The last few weeks have been filled with the awesomeness of Gods provision. Huge things being taken care of, that could only have happened by Gods plan.

In my heart I have Peace about coming home. I have been so excited, and have literally been counting down the days to when I will be a Homemaker again. I have nothing against moms who work outside of the home, you are awesome and deserve awards, but my heart, my joy is in being a homemaker/homeschooling mom. It always has been.

And yet....

I struggle with the what ifs.

What if we don't have enough money?

What if this is a bad decision?

What if....fill in the blank...I am pretty sure I have though about it.

I have spent countless hours running numbers in my brain and trying to figure out how we can make this work, thats how my brain works.

Then there are days like yesterday, where I feel complete Peace with our decision. Both services at church seemed like they were tailor maid for me and my family. I KNOW this is where we are supposed to be. I KNOW that we will be taken care of, and I KNOW that my God is bigger then any "What if" I happen to think up.

My hubby has been reminding me that "Where God leads, he will PROVIDE."

That's a truth bomb if I have ever heard one! God will not lead somewhere with out providing a way for us.

So, instead of being stressed (OK, we all know there WILL be moments of stress/panic, I am only human), I am choosing to step out in FAITH and TRUST that my God will take care of us, as long as we are faithful to Him.

I am choosing to say...

What if...He Blesses us beyond measure.

What if...this is the begining of something far greater then we could ever imigian.

What if...God is using this time to build our faith.

Those "What If's" don't look so bad. 


Today, I will spend my last day in an office filled with people I have grown to love. I will say good bye, and I will close the door on this chapter of my life.

It is sad.  I will miss my friends (thank goodness for FB). I will miss the interaction I had with them daily.

All good things come to an end...and the next chapter of my life is already calling...and I cant wait to answer it!

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her.

Our Mini Vacation in Pictures

Last weekend, my family and I packed up our car and after stopping to get our nieces, we headed to Branson, for a back-to-school mini vacay! We decided to celebrate the start of another homeschooling year, by going to an indoor water park called Grand Country! This is the 2nd time we have been there, and other then a few things that had changed since our previous trip ( we really missed the falling balloons at the fun spot party), it was just as great The following is our weekend in pictures/videos :) The girls loved the Water Park, and spent most of the time running back and forth between the slides and the lazy river (I liked the hot tub and lazy river the best). While I got sick 1/2 way through the weekend, I can honestly say that the trip was a success, and we will be returning there at the beginning of the year. We were in all need of a break from the car! I needed to visit the restroom and stretch my legs. The girls needed to dance and sing and get a little playtime in b

Snow....Snow...Snow

Snow.......Snow.......Snow...... Its nowhere to be found! Christmas is 8 days away and, while it is cold outside, it doesn't really feel like Christmas in the good old state of Ill. Every morning my 10 year old daughter runs to the front window to see if the snow has started to fall,and every morning she looks at me with a small frown and tells me its "Still not snowing." She is disappointed.....but only for a  few minutes....Soon she is running around the house making plans for the day, she is talking a mile a minute, and trying her best to get her tiny dog Diego, to sit still, so she can take him out for his morning walk. Its not long before her mind turns to all the things that she can do "When" it starts to snow. "Can we go sledding, and then stop for hot chocolate and donuts, like last time" "Can we have a snowball fight,mom"? "I love the snow, don't you love the snow,mom" "Do you think I can build a
