A Work in Progress #2

My work in progress is still in progress. I haven't had a lot of time for the house between homeschooling and working. Still, when I can work on it, I do. Progress is slow but steady.

The reading room (classroom) is pretty "done" I think.

And the living room looks less messy.

Thanks for the Delays

Many times in life we want what we want and we want it now. When we don't get it, we question why, particularly if we know that what we want will resolve a problem. We pray to be able to implement our solution. We do whatever we can to reach that goal.
And it just never happens.

Sometimes, we don't have all the information we need and we're praying for the wrong thing. When we realize this, it feels like a weight lifted from us.

This happened to me last night. I had the answer to a problem with Evil Boy. I was thrilled with my clever genius but simply couldn't make it happen. Last night, I had a moment of clarity. I realized "Oh no! If I do this..." (fill in with bad results) I realized that although a minor problem would be resolved the overwhelming result would be sheer torment. So I'm leaving well enough alone.

Thank God for the delays. I'm so glad that I didn't find a way to carry out my clever solution! The ending result would have been horrible for Lil' Bit and L.A.!!
