How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” (Isaiah 52:7)

I love being reminded about the good news of Jesus Christ.  It is such a joy and encouragement for a weary heart to hear the gospel preached from week to week in church. Jesus reigns indeed! Thank God for a gifted preacher in Pastor Chris Seah of Proidence Reformed Presbyterian Church. 

On the homeschooling front, things have been moving along.  We have decided that Sarah is really Dyspraxic, rather than ADD.  Ben is still exhibiting ASD characteristics.  Gabriel is as cute and clever as ever. 

But academics aside, there is still this constant struggle to shape and mould our children to follow Christ.  Obedience has been the greatest struggle.  Obedience, being a submission of heart 'right away, all the way, and with a happy heart'.  These precious years are going by so quickly. 

For mummy, the constant mess that the house is in is a cause of stress.  But I have to learn to look the other way most of the time, and be content with little clean-ups, which don't last long enough.

Still, there is much, much love here in this household, and we are so privileged to have the Lord our God with us each and every day.
