Dream or Reality

You know the dream...all the children sitting around the dining table doing lessons, everyone quiet and well behaved.  That is the homeschool dream and I guess it happens to some but rarley to me... I get the dream days now and again... But today... is crazy, I had to take some phone calls after breakfast, so the dream is that the kids cleaned up the breakfast mess and started on their lessons and my older kids help the younger ones until I am free again... but oh no .. I have to become unholy before any of this gets done.. Why??? is that...? couldnt the kids clean up, I mean after all I fixed french toast and I was so June Cleaver and all... Well back to reality. I hate to get unholy, it makes me feel so bad, I just want my children to obey and do the things I ask without me getting ugly... then I am reminded of James 3 and how we use our tongue to bless God and curse men...then I feel like I shouldnt have yelled.. but then the kids listened.. I guess its  that  Dr. Dobson saying.. I trained them to be that way by letting them only move when I yell... so now what do I do... ?? Pray !!

Hello Calvary Chapel sister! I saw your comment on lyntley's blog and thought I would stop by and say hi. I was saved at Horizon in San Diego in 1990, married my dh in 1991 who is now a Calvary Chapel pastor here in WA. We started a church in Imperial Beach, CA then moved to WA three years later to start another church. Started one here about 30 miles from where we live and are now starting another church here in our town. Hopefully it will be our last! It is a blessing to be part of the awesome movement of the Spirit that started way back in the 60's with two of the most humble people you can ever know: Chuck and Kay Smith. Awesome! Hope to get to know you better and get some homeschool pointers since this will be my first year homeschooling. Come visit me at www.homeschoolblogger.com/ams I will be adding you to my friend's list if that is ok. Antoinette

I'm going to have to borrow that, "Why do I have to get unholy before you obey?"

I saw your comment on honeybee's blog about Calvary Chapel. I don't think she's at a Calvary church, but I am. I was at a fabulous Calvary Chapel church in Leesburg, VA (Gary Hamrick, Vic Schmeltz) and now that we've moved to Indiana have been going to a much smaller one which sprung off a Horizon church, so it's a hybrid, I'm not sure it's even "officially" Calvary Chapel or Horizon yet but anyway, I just thought I'd stop by and say hi!

Blessings,
Angel
