Update on the Kerr Household:0)

By -

Hello!  We are almost done with our school year.  This is year number 11 for us.  The kids will be in these grades next year - Savannah 11th, Siler 9th, Sarah 7th, Sully 5th year at Keowee, and Seth 2nd.  This has been a good year.  I feel like it has been a fast year. 

So I have had a neat opportunity and started a job!  I am still homeschooling, but I am working with a company called VIPKID.   They are based out of San Francisco and Beijing.  I have this amazing opportunity to teach Chinese children English.   I started this in March.  I apologize for not posting and kind of falling off the face of the planet lol!  I have never worked a consistent job along with homeschooling and caring for the home.  It has been and still is an adjustment.   I think, though, this will be a wonderful thing for us.

So that is an update on me and the children.  Benson and I will celebrate 21 years on June 6th!  It has been a wonderful time with him.  The Lord has continued to bless Benson and his work.  I am so happy that things have been going well for him - it affects all of us really :0)  Benson is also still gardening and has added another animal group to the farm...ducks!  We have 17 ducks to date.  They are Khaki Campbell  ducks and should be good egg layers.

With the summer coming, we are looking forward to a break.   However, we are also looking toward a surgery for Sullivan.  I haven't spoken openly about this to a lot of people, but I am now that the date is quickly approaching.   Sully will undergo a hip dysplasia surgery.   It is a long surgery and recovery.   We will have it at Shriners Hospital in Greenville.   I will be posting in here and on Facebook about the time.  We will take him on Thursday,  June 27 for the surgery.  It is going to be like taking a baby to have surgery.   He won't understand what has happened when he wakes up, so if you would, please go ahead and start praying for him and us.  It will be a harder summer for us, but in the end this will be a good outcome.

So there you have it!  I will work toward getting back into devotional posts as well as ones for Sully and how he is.  I know the Lord is going to take care of him and us.  It will just be a challenging process.  I love this song that reminds us that the Lord has control and does not leave us alone.  It ministers to me whenever I hear it.  I hope it does you as well.    This song is called "Shoulders" by For King and Country.  I appreciate being reminded that I don't  have to face anything in this life alone.  None of us do!  I will continue to pray for you as you pray for me!  I appreciate you and your friendship in my life :0)  May the Lord bless you and your family!  I will stay in touch!

Love, hugs, and blessings :0)

  Before I post this, I have to preface it by saying that I have been honored to be teaching with a fantastic company, Cambly.com since September of 2021.  I found out about them by another VIPKid teacher.  I went ahead and applied and started teaching with them.  It has changed my life.  I have met some amazing people and have made some new friends!  Precious friends!  With that said, last August I was dealing with the knowledge that my then current job was going to end and that I was going to have to tell my students goodbye.  I would like you to now read my thoughts that I wrote at that time and how God helped me through a time of sadness.  I hope something I wrote might help you.   I have had the high honor of teaching with a company that teaches Chinese children English.  A mandate has caused a change in this where over 100,000 teachers are not being allowed to teach them unless they live in mainland China.  Since that is not an option for me, I know that I will not see these you

The State of My Being

  I have been without a computer for a month!  I am laughing on the inside because I somehow managed to go through high school and a tiny space of college without one.  Amazing, I know!  And then couple that with a syndrome that I seem to have gotten -- short attention span -- or as one of my buddies calls it, "Squirrel!" -- equals not posting in June.      Why does this matter to me?  Well, I have been posting here for over 4 years!  I know - it has gone by so fast.  It has been a fun-filled, eventful four years.  So where am I now, emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually?      Emotionally-speaking, I am in a better place.  I still have some mommy-meltdown moments, but I am happy to say they are getting fewer.  I am still, sadly, set off by spills.  Silly, isn't it? But I tell you the moment a liquid or little tiny particles spill everywhere, I explode like Godzilla. I am almost 100% sure that I am not alone.  Let us take on the attitude from my mom, a lot

This is an old post that I started some time ago, but I believe LIFE interrupted me, and therefore, I was unable to finish.  Seth is asleep!  I shout a quiet "Yahoo!" to myself :0) So, I am now finishing this since I have the opportunity!!!       I was in Powdersville today with Sully for his therapy.  It was a trip like any other.  I stepped in to talk to his wonderful group of therapists - he has been with these therapists since he was 6 months old!  And they are AWESOME!!!!!   In any case I mentioned that I had been working with getting some of our clothes out of storage for the cooler weather.  I get stopped up when I am around dust and mold - I think I talk more about my allergies and stress with children in this blog than anything else  :0)  Anyway, I mentioned to them that I have what I like to call the "Nasal Voice" from my allergies.  I laughed and said that I wish I had what I call the "Sexy, Raspy Voice!"  That is what I get when I have a thr
