Maidens By His Design Workshops
Young girls
today often do not receive a
Christian perspective on their coming - of - age cycle. Mothers sometimes do not realize how they
can place a Christian view on such an event in a girl's life. In this workshop, mothers and daughters learn together about this
topic, educating themselves and sparking useful conversation between
them about God's design for women.

Hello from Sunny Florida!!!
We're here! We moved into our new home on May 2 and I'm enjoying
every square inch of it!
Well, this month I have been without internet in my home because it
took a while to get it hooked up out here in the sticks. I could
have gone to the library (really not sure where it is) to get online
and submit my article to the editor on time and do all the other
computer work I "need" to do, but I decided that I would just wait
and enjoy my very brief season of being completely unplugged. We got
internet this week and Todd hooked up the computer, so now Susan can
add this section and send out the newsletter.
I've never moved into a new home before, so this is an adventure
that I want my family to thoroughly enjoy. I must say, it was
tempting to go full speed ahead and get everything unpacked and back
to normal school and work (and cause much unnecessary stress for my
whole family), but my assignment before I left Virginia was to learn
to REST. So I'm committed to it!
Not only have I chosen not to stress about my lack of a computer and
the consequent inability to get my work done, but I am not even
uptight about the literal mountains of boxes yet unpacked, the
mountains of empty boxes in the garage, the list of things I'm
supposed to send to the builder so they'll know what needs to be
fixed, or the fact that all our homeschooling books and supplies are
at the bottom of the mountain of boxes in my office. We're just
enjoying reconnecting as family and gradually making our new house a
home (Todd was in FL for two and a half months before we came down
and we missed him terribly).
So, in addition to gradually unpacking and settling in, I have
learned to enjoy swimming in our pool (Rose likes to ride on top of
me when I swim), I've read a book and have started on a second one,
and I have started playing the piano again. It has been so wonderful
to feel free to spend an hour or more a day playing the piano,
singing, and worshipping God. These are things that I'm not going to
stop when I get back to "normal" life. These things are now part of
my normal life!
If you are ever in North Port, Florida, give me a call and stop by
to see us. It is a great place to vacation and I'd love to see
you!!!
Blessings,
Kristin
P.S. A belated Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers! I
hope you had a great day; you certainly deserve it!
