Sunday....Sunday

The weekend is over...well, almost over. Church was awesome this morning...as usual. God is speaking loudly in our lives. Yesterday we had to fix one of our chicken pens...to keep them safe from our multiple raccoons that live around here. They are doing so well...almost all of them are laying eggs...so glad for that. We are going to order a set more in a few months, so we can have two batches laying all the time. Judah was so cute...while we were fixing the pen he was trying to feed them hands full of feed...but every time he did it was just blow back in his face. Didn't stop him though...he kept on doing it until he didn't have anymore. While Matt was at Home Depot (his store of choice, lol)...I was putting the last of the sod down over our new septic tank..that was fun, and I felt it last night. The kids of course ran around like Indians and we got some things done. Next weekend we are going to fence in the new garden area...and the following weekend Matt and I are going away for the weekend (YAHOO)! The kids heard us talking about going away and they got so excited...and they said, "where are we going?" And Matt and I said in unison, "Nana and PapPap's!!!" So we have a busy and full February coming up. We also are planning one weekend of camping with the family. Changed some of our curriculum this week for Bryn and that is going well. The rest of today is to get ready for the week...baby Judah is about to go down for a nap and Dora is on the television. Have a great Sunday!

Pulling Myself Out of the Deepest, Darkest Depression...My Story

Image
     This post has been churning in me for months and knew that I wanted to write it and post it one day. I have been very open and honest about where I have been at the last few years, so some of what I write today may not be a surprise to anyone. Either way, I hope it brings help and healing and promise to some of you.      Two years and ten months ago my husband and I had just got into bed. It wasn't very late...maybe around 10pm. Life had been busy...he had just flown in that morning. He was long distance commuting between Florida and North Carolina with his job. I had picked him up that morning in the Greenville, South Carolina airport and then we headed to a swim meet in the same town for our daughter, Esther. We were there most of the day...stopping at some stores before we headed back to our home in North Carolina. I hadn't talked to my mom in a few days, which was rare. I was super busy and she hadn't called me either. I called her, and she didn't answer.

2020...What does that look like to you? I am ready to BLOOM!

Image
As I sit here at my desk, we have already gone through the first few days of 2020. I keep shaking my head when I think that we are already 20 years into this century. Doesn't it feel like moments ago we were talking about Y2K? So much has happened since then. Matthew and I were talking just this morning that I will turn 45 this year, and how half of my 40s will be over and how fast they have gone. And how difficult they have been. But I have hope. I never lose hope. I got that from my mom. I am expecting a great year. Not because I think I won't have trials this year, it's because I am stronger than ever before. So, a few days ago I was listening to something. I can't even remember what it was. But I heard the word BLOOM. And I instantly knew God was saying that this is my word for the year. I don't always take a word for the year, but I knew God was speaking to me. He told me that this is my year to BLOOM. The old is put away and the new is coming. I am walking i

Warning: Do you think your child may be Dyslexic?

Image
Three years ago today our world changed so much here at the Reynolds Nation. On that day we found out officially by the psychologist that Judah was dyslexic. I had been concerned for about 9 months that he was...I had heard on Good Morning one day what are some of the signs of dyslexia. Though I always watched my kids for dyslexia, Judah just didn't have the classic signs... like the turning of the letters B, D and P.  Everyone always looks for that, but Judah didn't do that. But he was behind in his reading. And wasn't progressing in a rate that was okay. So, we had him tested. And it was confirmed. And on that day I started an intense search to find what help we could find for Judah. Several people pointed us to the Barton Reading and Spelling program...and that's the avenue we took. I took the training program and I tutored Judah...he went from a reading level of a kindergartner/first grader to a sixth grader when we were finished with the program. And then I s
