worshiper, wonderer, writer – seeking to encourage faithfulness in Christian women
In our planning for this trip, this day was the last we finalized, shifting and considering plans until we hoped to create something that allowed us to squeeze as much out of the day as possible. Technically, we could have planned a longer moving day and arrived at Yosemite on Tuesday evening. However, the only …

2024 RV Vacation to California is underway! This trip plans to include visits to Big Sur, Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Day 9 - Grand Teton National Park I awoke at my normal time and could tell it had gotten really cold during the night, so I turned on the heater and enjoyed coffee, reading and writing for several hours before anyone began to stir. We decided to head to the lodge restaurant of our camp …
Day 7 - Two Medicine and St. Mary We didn’t begin this day quite as early since the previous day was so full, but we started out after breakfast and drove south an hour to the Two Medicine portion of GNP. I’d read that this is less populated with visitors and yet still just as …
Day 5 - Glacier National Park, Many Glacier and St. Mary Today we headed to the park and drove a bit around the St. Mary entrance, gathering our bearings with the park map before deciding to head north toward Babb and the Many Glacier Entrance. I previously printed out the main areas we wanted to …
Day 3 - Bozeman, Montana Today was our longest driving day yet. We made it a priority for our driver to get in bed first and early, so he was ready to pull out from Cheyenne, Wyoming by 7am. With stops for fuel and considering how slow we sometimes have to take our 2003 Fleetwood …
The longer I’m married, the more readily I embrace the sanctification and adventure of following my husband where he wants to go. It really can be a joyous thrill of a ride when I agree to do things that I probably would never have done if it were up to me. For example, having children …

Over two years ago, when my oldest was in first grade at a local public school, and I began exploring the idea of homeschooling, the term "morning time" kept coming up in various places where I researched. Some homeschoolers term this "morning basket" or "circle time," but the principle of the concept remains the same, …
