"The Next Thing would be...(and then the appropriate answer)" is what they have heard me saying. It made for some very interesting one-sided conversations at first, but now it's just part of who I am. As a matter of fact, I've heard, "The Next Thing would be...", coming from my daughters' lips! Needless to say, this poem means a lot to me!

I've been so stressed, confused, weary and down right frustrated at times lately with a certain number of trials, but I keep finding whatever I can do...even though some days I hesitate to move towards looking because it is so overwhelming. I am determined to "Do the Next Thing" tomorrow. You've been truly used by the Lord tonight because of posting this blog. Thank you! Elaine Marilyn,

A dear lady gave me a copy of the poem back when I first started homeschooling 9 years ago and it spent several years on my fridge. I'm sorry to say, that it didn't make it to Alaska when we moved up here and I've missed it so! I even googled it but still...nothing. What a blessing you are! I"m so thankful that I get your newsletter--and that you are also part of the new harvest homestead blog, too. Thanks again, for your submission--How wonderful! In Christ, Tan Marilyn,
