as I look back on my abundant life, God has gone way beyond my fairy-tale dreams. Isn't that just like our God. I always dreamed of a husband like Joey, ministering 2 people, & staying home w/our children. Needless 2 say, the last 10yrs have been all that and soooo much more.
however, never did I think I would ever homeschool. As I prepared a few min 2day 4 our 2nd week of k.5 w/ Caleb, I just feel so excited! After being a teacher, n the classroom, never realized how much wasted time n a day! Our lifestyle is people, so getting school completed n less than an hr each morning works so awesome! Not 2 mention, it is loads of fun & quality time w/my children!
The joy of their sweet faces & always silly sayings! Then 2 hear them voice how they understand God.....just precious! The Lord is working something n me right now-don't know what it is-but I love how He uses my children 2 speak sometimes. Help me, Lord, have simple faith as a child.
Children grow so quickly! I love every stage--including the frustrating ones. Imagin w/me, how God must feel about me! Am I growing quickly? What about the discipline plan? Just taken back at the thought. And then the teaching & training steps. My desire is that my children b teachable. I know God wants the same from me.
He has taught me so much in the last few months. I love the freedom I'm experiencing! Still struggling w/my trust. Don't know why--looking @ my past should b enough. May I b as a child & just trust & not think 2 much, overanalyze, etc...
I wonder why my own children cannot obey @ times right away & save themselves a spanking. Well, I tell myself the samething. Obey God & trust Him. Understanding always comes after!
Blessed 2 b a mother b/c of the honor & learning experiences I have along the journey! We serve a FATHER that is the most amazing daddy this daughter could ever have!
I love my calling!
