Ode to the Library

Ode to the Library
Ode to the Library
by Beverly Jacobson, Homeschool Mom & Chauffeur  

Would you rather read than cook?
Would you read a library book?
Yes, I'd read a library book!
Yes, I would, oh, take a look!
📚
I would read while in the van. 
I would read as much as I can.
I would read in a coffee shop.
I would read until I drop.
📖
I would read and sip a shake.
I would read each book I take.
I would not notice others' looks.
Oh, I do so love to read my books!
❤

Thank you! *Takes a bow* 😂

Do your kids love the library like mine do?! 
Do you have a certain day of the week you go? 
Do your kids have their own shelves for hold items waiting to be picked up?
Is it a travesty when they close the library for a "staff training day?"
Is it an emergency when the kids are "out" of library books (meaning they've read all the ones they checked out 2 days ago)?!

Do tell!

Hi! I'm Beverly, homeschooling mama of 9. We have homeschooled since 2005 and continue educating the children God has given us, right down to our youngest, who has profound needs. On this blog, I share biblical teaching to encourage Christian homeschool mamas who desire to speak truth over themselves, their husbands and children, and ultimately the spheres of influence God has given them. And you'll also find real-life stories from our crazy, chaotic clan...which can give you a good chuckle or perhaps help you sigh in relief when you realize you're in good company! Pull up a chair and let's chat!

My Story

 
When I heard the words "incompatible with life" in connection with the baby doing gymnastics in my belly, I was devastated, confused, and overwhelmed. I was scared nothing would ever be normal again...in my marriage, in our family, or in any of the passions I used to have that I now felt were slowly slipping away.

It was a dark, difficult time. And I knew something had to change. I yearned for everyone in our family to THRIVE, not simply survive! 
 
And you know what? We did! It wasn't overnight, but as we centered ourselves on our foundation of TRUTH, slowly we found ourselves settling into a new normal. We learned what we needed to know in order to move forward as a family of 11, caring for a little one with profound needs. 

Now I’m on a mission to help other mamas move from HEARTACHE to HOPE, empowering them to unleash their inner Mama Bear in order to provide fierce love and tender care to their precious babies. Though the world views children with disabilities as problems to be solved, we know they are lives to be CHERISHED, no matter how long or how short their stay is here on earth.
