This Journey of Mine...

Our Calling...

Have you ever wondered if you put too much pressure on yourself? Is your everyday 'to do' list not getting done by the end of the day and then you go to bed feeling like you didn't accomplish much that day? What a lie! Do you realize that just raising your children, teaching them and being a helper to your husband is an amazing accomplishment each and every day?! I do believe that when our children are grown and the days are a little less busy, we will have time to accomplish those 'to do' lists, but right now we need to be satisfied with the fact that we are raising happy, healthy families. We are not failures at the end of the day becuase we couldn't accomplish more, we are treasures in God's heart because we are caring for His children and that's what's most important.

   He tends His flock like a shepard: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 40:11

Yes, I agree. If we are laying the foundation for love and security and faith in the lives of our children we are doing a good thing. There will always be time for learning. There will always be time for cleaning. But the time to pour into the hearts of our children is limited. That is our true priority.

I've always loved that verse and thought of putting it on our nursery wall (but it never got off the "to do" list!).

P.S. I absolutely put too much pressure on myself. The expectations I have hanging over most of my days are terribly unrealistic. However, it's easy to get into that rut when you've nothing to compare it to! What do other homeschooling familes accomplish in a day? I don't think I know!
