New Beginnings
Aug 23rd, 2007 by Donna Scott
Honestly, with the news about my daughters I was in shock, and yes depression. Which I found a bit ironic since that is what I have been writing about. But, I just stopped everything. I needed some time to come to terms with things. I apologize for the newsletter not going out as usual. Thank you so much for being faithful and for you prayers. They are needed and appreciated. I am back on track now, and am writing again. I am excited to see what God has in store for us!
It is a time of new beginnings! Summer is coming to an end and fall is fast upon us! (at least I hope) With everything that has been happening here at the Scott household it is time to move on ahead! We have not one, but two precious little babies on the way! Carey’s baby boy is scheduled to be delivered by C-section on November 16th! So with that and the holidays, we will be very busy! Then Amanda’s baby (which we hope is a girl since C.J. is having a boy) will be due March 26th! Just two days after mine and Bruce’s anniversary! Since Amanda lives here at home with us, we are busy preparing for her baby.
We are busy with homeschooling too! Our schedule is working but changing as we add more activities. My children are participating in a homeschool program at the YMCA this year. So, far it is great! And mom gets to workout too! I know that at one time Brenda had asked about what curriculum we are using. Sorry, I havent posted a response sooner. We use a lot of different ‘curriculums’. We are doing a unit study on American History that covers everything but math. The kids also do an online program at www.time4learning.com It is a good curriculum too. Plus the program at the Y. Their math is from Rod and Staff publishing. I hope to post more about homeschooling soon.
That is my update for now dear friends. Be looking for the newsletter soon in your inboxes. I hope you won’t be disappointed in all I have planned for it. I am excited and I think you will enjoy it.
God Bless!

Donna I am glad that you are looking on the bright side of things.I know that the Lord is holding you all in the palm of His hand.
Donna, you’re not the first parent to be shocked about a daughter’s unplanned pregnancy, and unfortunately, I doubt you’ll be the last. I’m thankful that you’ve decided to embrace the babies rather than deny them as some parents have been known to do. Just remember, God has His hands in this, too.
Thanks for keeping us posted, and we’ll want to see pictures.
