A friend lent me Stepping Heavenward by Mrs. E. Printess published in 1880. It is written in diary format, chronicling the narrator's life between the ages of 16 and 43. I am but halfway but it looks like one I may buy for each of the girls. Maybe for their 13th birthday.
"Suppose then you content yourself for the present with doing in a faithful, quiet persistent way all the little, homely tasks that return with each returning day, each one as unto God, and perhaps by and by you will thus have gained strength for a more heroic life."
I feel like Katherine. I want to do something grand and extraordinary. When really its the thousand little everyday things He has set before I am to do, to faithfully attend to the business that is mine to complete. Oh, that I would be faithful with what He has put before me. Everyday. All day.

Sweet Analisa... I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your words. We are in a deep and difficult transition period and I am trying to pull into focus our schooling. I am so encouraged and helped by your words and plan to spend the next weekend reading your posts and taking notes! Bless you!
