a beginning
Funny how we so often feel compelled to begin- something, anything- as a part of our lives ends in some way. Last month, Alan and I moved our oldest child to a new home over three hours away. So of course, I must begin a blog and start documenting my every thought here! I truly will not foist my emptying-nest-angst on you, mainly because of the four eaglets still at home, but also because life is just beginning! Every day!
The Father gave us 18 years to guide Jeremy to Jesus so that he will make decisions based on that relationship with his Lord. His adventure is just beginning, isn't it? But my adventure is nowhere near done- not in our parenting, not in my relationship with Jesus, not in dreams needing wings.
So join me in occasional posts, pictures, dreams, and news.
Our home school's name is Eagle's Wings Home Academy, thus the Title. You will hear plenty on the little and big ones here at home, plus the one that flew the nest.
I hope to give updates on the 'dream', as well. Someday, I hope to have a facility to meet the needs of abused and neglected children who grew up into parents unable to overcome their childhoods enough to parent effectively. That's sort of a mouthful, but if you think about it, you will see the need as obvious. Unfortunately, you will probably have never seen such a facility, as obvious as the need is to those who have worked for any length of time with at-risk families.
I hope to also mount my soap box on this and other subjects dear to my heart.
Pictures to follow.
