• Jan. 11, 2007 - Do you really trust him?

With your homeschooling, your life, your marriage, your kids, your self......do you really trust God?

Are you dissapointed today? Confused? Mad?  At your "wicks" end, as my kids say?  (Do you feel like a candle that is just about to burn out?) 

 

We all get this way at some time or another.  Emotions were put into us by our Creator, so He Knows how we are feeling.  But do you sometimes forget to seperate fact from fiction.....I mean fact from feelings? 

It's a human thing, for sure.  "Been there, doing that;"somebody reading this might say.

Life isn't always a bed of roses.....or maybe it is!  Your life is a bouquet of sweet smelling lovliness, and oh so beautiful, and then suddenly "ouch!"  you happened across a thorn.  Or maybe two or three or maybe a whole two dozen stems full of thorns

Didn't the Lord tell us that there would be thorns?  Trials?  Persecution?  Yes, He did. 

But didn't also He say that His grace was sufficient for us? 

 Yes, He did.

So today, instead of grabbing those thorny stems again, grab ahold of the one who wore the crown of thorns for you. 

 His Grace Is Sufficient!

 

 

 

 Every thorn, trial, knot, flaw, loose end, frustration, injustice, embarrassment, regret or doubt is part of the tapestry called YOU.  God knows.  He knit you in your mothers womb....and is now weaving you into a beautiful picture that is your life.  Trust Him and rest in Him. 

He knows just what He is doing!

Trust Him!

Blessings,

Nancy

oh I needed to read this today! The funny thing is tho that I can't automatically click on my "friends" to get updates...I now have to click on each individual link - I read yours first. Thanks for the encouragement. I really, really needed it today. I have been plagued with the "I'm a bad mom" demon.
have a blessed weekend,

Without my faith in God, I would be a looney toon. God calms me and guides me through my trials. God comforts me and makes me feel secure. I am very grateful and I hope everyone can experience the true joy of God's love for us. Great Post.

Something that I need to remember is that these trial, or thorns, are to make me stronger not weaker.So I need to reach for Gods word to help me through these times.

About Me


Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.


We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
