The Gifts of November

#mondayfunday #sigosherts With Thanksgiving last week, I found myself viewing November through the lens of thankfulness. The Bible says that every good and perfect gift comes from our Heavenly Father, so anything I am thankful for is a gift from God. As I look back over this past month, and as we prepare to leave …

October Just Flew By!

#mondayfunday #sigosherts It’s been a very different Fall for us Gosherts. By now, way up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we would have been picking apples, maybe making a snowman, but definitely not enjoying all this sunshine!  ☀️ As you know, we are at JAARS, staying in an apartment. There are 24 apartments total, …

The Significant Task of Home Schooling

She said, “Katie has the significant task of home schooling their five children.” If you are familiar with Gallops Strength Finders, Significance is one of my top most strengths. Every moment of every day I am seeking significance, looking for opportunities to make significance, out of thin air if I must. I know in my brain that home schooling my kids is indeed significant, but it is so easy to lose sight of the significance when I am in the trenches of spelling tests, attitude checks and chapter books. I enjoy my kids and I am so grateful to be able to home school them, but sometimes my search for significance leads my eyes astray, and I can get down trodden. This statement has spurred me on!

What an Unusual Week!

#mondayfunday #sigosherts Some fun and unusual pictures… First, were the odd health issues – Josh came down with a small cold or some type of allergy issue that quickly took to his sinuses. The right half of his face was not happy for a couple of days there. Poor little Anna also had a couple …

A Full Week

#mondayfunday #sigosherts “Full” is the word I would use to describe this past week. I am so full. I am full of thankfulness for so many things–healthy and happy kids, a temporary home that’s cozy and adequate, reaching another weight-loss milestone, healthy feet that can handle a 3-mile run, a fully funded Wycliffe ministry budget, …

New Friends and Activities

#mondayfunday #sigosherts It’s been a week of adjustment and fun. We’ve found a new routine here at JAARS and the kids are enjoying meeting new friends and trying new things. We went to a baptism yesterday afternoon and the kids got to swim. All in all, while we miss our friends and family, and our …

The Month That Flew By

#mondayfunday #sigosherts I could spend hours writing about this past month’s whirlwind of activities, fun events, hellos and good-byes, but as they say, pictures are worth a thousand words, and a lot more entertaining as well! First set of pictures: We spent three weeks in Missouri–a couple of weeks at Grandma Goshert’s house with a …
