Enduring all things

I never thought I would write this post but I am.  God has helped us endure so much these past couple of years.  I am so thankful and so proud of my family.  We have walked closer to God.  We have been through unemployment, struggling financially, sadness, joy, change, and growth.  We endure all things through Christ who guides us.  And Yes, I home schooled through it all.  God brought us to homeschooling. I wanted everyone to know homeschooling is a way a life, not a school my kids go to.  We are constantly learning through our nature walks, beach combing for sea glass, or just walking along the board walk. We cherish God's beauty and design in all things.  God's Will is ever so much present in our lives.  Our family has grown closer to Our Lord because of it.  I am writing this to encourage people, not to give up.  Were there times I wanted to give up? Yes.  Did I? No because,  God was carrying me through it all.  It has taught all of us strength and wisdom through life's challenges.  As I look back, do I wish it was different?  Amazingly no.  We wouldn't be the people we are today if we didn't go through it.  We endure.  We overcome obstacles.  They make us who we are. We are all beautiful in our own amazing journey.  Always encourage, never discourage each other.  We all have different opinions about politics, religion and etc. We need to agree to disagree that our opinions are different because we are all unique people of God. Today my family and I still struggle, but we are walking closer to God.  The walk is not easy, but the reward is so worth it.  I encourage you all to dance in the rain, and cherish the journey.

Praising Him always,
Noelle

Governor and Voting

I rarely put up political posts but today I will.  Today my son voted for the first time in our NJ primary for governor.  It has saddened me...
