The Lord Is My Strength - God Is So Good!

Mar. 17, 2006 - God Is So Good!

God is so good!!

This week has been another challenging week....but I spent it in devoted prayer! Asking God to reveal what it was that was a stumbling block for us.

With Austen, just a certain one consequence doesn't always work, so the best thing for him is to change things around often.

But God really revealed many things this week and so I am going to do my best to make some changes. One of the changes is I will need to sit with him through most of his work. The other is I usually put Blake in another room while we home-school but I am going to let him be with us and try to find different activities to keep him busy. Austen needs to learn how to work with some noise, and can't expect things to always be quiet.

I am pretty hard on him with some things like his handwriting and instead of always making him do it over, I have decided IF it is readable than I will accept it. To me he has the sloppiest handwriting I have ever saw...lol

But really he is still learning and needs more practice.

The other realization I had is that we need to quit doing so much "book" work and try to intertwine different activities into our day. The weather is getting nicer so it will be a bit easier to get out doors. This morning I was trying to think of something for us to do and it was pooring down rainso that was realy hard to come up with something. We are going to start walking daily, we started that Thursday, it felt so good! Blake walked right along my side and really enjoyed walking.

Good idea to intertwine activities with the school day. My son goes nuts if he has to sit still too long! Our curriculum has activities planned in it, and it really has been a saving grace! Good luck to you!
