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. ...

Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread...... I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me. Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products) I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe  and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy. In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run. I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine! I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads.......

Becoming Intentional

It seems like forever since I have blogged....its actually only been a few days, but it feels longer...I have been waiting for something to write....something funny....something wonderful.....something inspiring...... However, I have nothing like that to write about.....my writing will be changed forever and as much as I hate that and the reason behind it, I cannot change it. Maybe in the future the tone of my writing will change, but for now I will write whats on my heart...it may not be for anyone but for me...and that is o.k. Today was the 1st day of school for this semester for my daughter Olivia. With us living between 2 homes during Mom's Hospice, I felt like we needed to focus all of our attention on spending as much time with mom as possible. So we put getting back to school on the back burner till we got home. It was the best decision for us, and I will never regret it. The extra hugs and snuggles, and TIME, Olivia was able to spend with her "Gugu" in her la...
