What has Mae been up to?

   It has been awhile since I did a newsy blog post. So here goes!
 I have been busy with the children's school. That keeps me busy every day until in the after-noon, unless I have to go somewhere for a reason and then there goes school altogether, at least for the younger ones who rely on my help.   This week I had to take Sam in Monday because he had an ear infection and got him antibiotics, and then Sarah in on Thursday for because of an infection and got her antibiotics. But otherwise our school goes good and we do that five days a week.
  I am now about 15 weeks along with our 9th baby which is due April 15th, 2019. I have been feeling very well at this point and we are all excited about our newest baby.

  As I have time I write here on my blog, and I have been trying hard to work on volume 2 of my book, As For me and My House. I can't wait to have that one finished and I know several of you are looking forward to as well. But I am not good at just sitting down and getting at it. I find the editing part so hard and time consuming. But soon I will say it is good enough for me to get a proof copy and then will read and check for some more errors that way. I will update here where the book is ready for sale.
 I have just recently written an article and summited it to Nancy Campbell, editor of Above Rubies magazine, to come out in a recent issue. So that will be very exciting. It is the story of our loss along with lot's of  inspiration, hope, and encouragement.  I will announce that here when it comes out and how you can get yourself an issue if are not already a regular subscriber of Above Rubies.

  I am still working on getting my practice hours for my coaching. ( For anyone reading this you feel like you could use some coaching on a particular thing just contact me, see also my coaching page.) I need about 10 more hours coaching hours before I can receive my certification. These things take awhile but I am so very eager to get my course finished and get on with the next thing  I want to take. Which is the coaching speakers course. I am so excited about taking that course!
   Most of my readers know I have felt a call on my life and a tug on my heart to public speaking. I am still waiting on the Lord to open doors that way, and in the meantime preparing my self as much as I can. The message I have right now that I want to share through speaking, called When your World is falling Apart, I have committed to reading it daily and even twice daily if I can manage. The plan is to have the message  fixed securely in my head making it easier for me to speak  when the times comes. and it is the least I can do while I wait.  If you would like to learn more about my speaking please visit my speaking page.
  Well that sums up what I am currently up to for now.
 God bless! Have an amazing day!
In Him, Mae
