Posted in Homeschool Thoughts

We are so behind in our schedule and in my plans for this year. I have fallen under the bread of idleness and let myself become less enthusiastic about our daily school time. I have wandered away from my intitial  excitement about teaching and learning and have began rushing thruogh each day instead of dwelling in the knowledge. The last 2 weeks have consumed my mind with other things and left our search and thirst for knowledge dry and weary. Teacher has become less encouraging and more demanding, less gracious and more legalistic and teacher has seen her faults and is repenting.

How often, I think, have I gotten on my knees these weeks and asked the Father the creator of the universe to look down on our little school and guide us, show us His wisdom and strengthen our hearts and minds in the faith through our journey in the subjects and in our attitudes towards them?

Lord grant your students... a mind of wisdom... a heart of gratitude... a new attitude of enthusiasm for Your creation and our studies each day. Guide us through each lesson revealing more of Your self through them and giving us a mind that is able to see Your majestic ways and set our hearts to understand Your almighty power as You take us by the hand and lead us.

There is a new week heading our way and God is given me a new mind and attitude to face it. Lets enjoy the weekend and begin new next week fresh in His paths and not our own.
