Starting Off...

Hello!

If you don't know me, my name is Amy. I am a blessed mama to many precious children - 8 living on this earth and in my home, and 7 gone to be with the Lord whom I look forward to meeting someday in Heaven.

My husband is my dearest and long time best friend, he is active duty Air Force (and no, he doesn't fly planes, contrary to popular thought when people generally think of the USAF).

We are a homeschooling family, at present we are in our 11th year of homeschooling, not counting preschool - counting that, we'll claim 12 years of dedication toward our children's education and futures. :)

I titled this blog "Growing in Grace" because that is who, what, and where I am... a child of God, growing in His grace and unending mercies. I've made many mistakes in my life and have learned a great deal from those things, and thankfully have also made some good choices in life and have learned from those as well! The past is a painful thing at times, and a thing of pleasure and smiles at other times - and yet we know that God uses all of these things for our good when we love Him. I praise Him for His unending mercies, forgiveness, and long-suffering with his hard-headed and sometimes slow to learn child, and I am so very thankful for the life that He has so graciously gifted me with!

So, here we grow - most thankfully, in His grace.
