Life in The Family International

Each person in our Family Home was able to take a two-day retreat. This was for a few reasons

1) We were pretty tuckered out after the nonstop action of the Christmas season

2) To pray about direction for the New Year

3) and to sleep for long periods of time.

I had a great time doing all three, and of course it’s always exciting to look forward to a New Year, what it will entail and all the projects that you will be involved in. We are moving to more of a ‘training mentality’, and this year ample time will be invested in each person receiving input for their job and being part of specialized training programs. I have been going through a Youth Counseling Course for some time now and will continue that, but another of my goals is to make sure that each of our teens successfully completes a vocational course this year. They are quite bright so it shouldn’t be too difficult, but since I am also the Vocational Overseer I need to make sure they really know their stuff. So it’s gonna be another stuffed year again, but I’m not feeling to stressed… (Yet. Ha!) and with my pregnancy I have to take it easier so I think it’s doable.
