Victory Homeschool

• Dec. 19, 2007 - What's new?

It's been nearly four months since my last blog. I know that sounds like it should have been preceeded by "forgive me fellow bloggers, for I have sinned", doesn't it? You know, there have been times where I've wanted to sit down and write, but frankly I don't ever feel that anything I write is that worthy of being written, or more importantly that I should be using the time I need to spend it on the computer. I'm on it more than I should already trying to just read e-mails and the few blogs I keep up with.  Lately I've been very overwhelmed with...well, everything I suppose. I am really ready to commit much more time to the Lord in order to get my priorities in order and manage the time He's given me much better. A few weeks ago I was listening to Nancy Leigh DeMoss on Moody Radio and someone on the show mentioned about taking the 30 day challenge. At the end of the show, of which the name escapes me, they talked about committing the next 30 days to spending time with the Lord -- in His Word and in prayer. That's something I want to do. I know it's what I need and I know it will make a huge impact on our family. It's not that I don't do it ever, but I'm not consistent. Some days (many) the flesh wins out and I don't wake up until our toddler wakes up. The trouble is that once he's up the day begins. Sitting and trying to read and pray quietly just doesn't happen. I need to work on that. As for now, the flesh is going to win again as I'm calling it a night.

It's good to be back.

It's good to have you back! Been watching for you. And you're right...we all get up at about the same time here and once the littles are up, there's just no escaping to read and pray alone. I've tried laying down with the baby and reading while he nurses himself to sleep, but we know how THAT story ends.

Merry Christmas!

I totally understand what you're going through. So many times instead of starting the day with the Lord, I start the day getting things done and then the Lord gets put on the back burner. I'm going to really try to be more consistent with my time with the Lord. I will be praying for us both!!

God bless you ~ Julie

I'm glad to hear from you, Jennifer!

Priorities, time and my mismanaging of it all is a daily struggle for me. I did actually set my alarm for EARLY this morning-- and on purpose-- just to have some quiet time and get things done before the kidlets woke up. I didn't get it all done, but I did read Obadiah! Okay, so it's just ONE chapter but that one chapter is more than I read in my Bible this time last week. Baby steps... I'm taking baby steps...

Love,
Marsha

"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." -- 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
