2018 Comes to a Close

And just like that, 2018 comes to a close. I started the year with the word Nourish (and also Cherish), and I must say that I did not concentrate on the words as much as in the past. I needed something to help me get going for the year, to focus, but they were not as concrete as past words Faith and Mercy so it was a bit different.  I was able to accomplish the goals of reading aloud through the New Testament with my children this year and read through the Old Testament again personally, and we surely are nourished by His Word. I love the conversations that we have had and the growth I have seen in their understanding. We continue to homeschool and learn and mature together. We have had some exciting development this year in our studies and some fun travels. It is a blessing indeed to have this time together. I still feel very lacking in the desire to better nourish relationships and cherish this time more, and I will continue to work on this in the coming year.     
The end of 2018 brought news that we will move our family to a new home and town in 2019. We have been in move-mode for several months, which I will admit I am not finding a time of nourishing and cherishing. I pray that I can cherish the time we have had in our small town and will relax more and not neglect nourishing the ones I love through this time.
Onto a new year and a new adventure…
