I have realized that although I really enjoy making the school plans every year, they are consistently needing to be readjusted.  LIfe happens and it rarely stops to check my schedule first!  The best intentions can get sidetracked easily when a child gets sick, a friend is in need, or other daily things pop up.

Do we give up and wing it each day?  Here is an idea I was struck with today...I was a bit frustrated and thought I had tried every which way to solve a problem. Suddenly I realized I had not stopped to pray over this area each day, but instead was trying to fix everything with my own power. What a waste of time and energy. God is so sweet to send his reminders to us that He never intended for us to carry our loads alone.  We are called into a unique and wonderful ministry in homeschooling our kids. Of course we have moments of discouragement, but don't let those times rob you of  this journey's blessings. 

We are surrounded by incredible moments each day. I pray that I will be ever reminded to stop and notice each one before they pass away. Enjoy the moments, even (and especially) when they aren't on our schedule
