It's almost Christmas. It seems as though the year has been pulled from under me. So much has happened in so little time. Since I last logged on (forever ago), my little one, Baby G, has returned to his parents. A great loss to us and wonderful gift to his parents. I pray for them every night and hope that the seed of God's mercy and grace was planted in that boy's heart and that his parents will learn of the peace that comes with it.
I also taught my last college level course, at least for the foreseeable future. I am not teaching after the break or during the summer, so only He knows what is next. The beauty of it is I can finally organize my office and get some research done. I have two projects I am interested in starting. One is on the history of foster care among African Americans in NY. I would also like to start working on an African American History for Homeschoolers curriculum. Who knows? If I can stay off of Facebook perhaps all three will be finished by August.
BS (Biological Son) is winding down his fall semester. One of the highlights of being home for the Spring will be my ability on focusing on his schooling. This fall was humbling for us both. It forced me to recognize my need to trust in God and put my family first in all things.
DH has been getting commissions on his artwork and I must say they are pretty spectacular. More on those coming up.
Have a wonderful holiday and God Bless you and yours.

The life and trials of a homeschooling mom trying to live on 1 1/2 salaries in NYC. I will post my attempts at frugality, teaching my son and being a Christian wife.
