January Giveaway Winner

This post wants to be longer, but I’m writing from a hotel room and I’m short on computer time!

Shauna’s name was drawn as the January Tamagoyaki Perseverance Giveaway Winner!

This past year has been a hard one for their family, but she is always smiling and handling her circumstances with grace. Her faith remains strong. Shauna has been of great encouragement to me both on Twitter and at The Homeschool Lounge.

Here is her winning comment. :

We’ve been through a rough time for the past several months and even before that because of the economic downturn; my husband lost his job last fall and was unable to find another until just this week (praise the Lord!!!). In the last month, I have moved to another state, enrolled my daughter in school, and started a new job. None of these things would have been my preference, but sometimes you have to persevere and make the best of your situation. My daughter enjoys school so far and seems to be adjusting well, and I like my new job and am settling into new routines. Would I rather still be a stay-at-homeschooling Mom? Yes, and one day maybe that will be an option for us once again. In the meantime, I will continue to move forward, persevere, and take advantage of new opportunities instead of lamenting what I don’t have any longer.

Please follow Shauna on Twitter@shaunarum and check out her lovely blog, Treasure Seekers.

Congratulations, Shauna! You and yours are in my prayers as you adjust to this new adventure!
