Isn't HSing a lot like a rollercoaster? Some days are so wonderful. Everything is just going so good and you are so happy with your DC. They breezed right through their math, english, spelling, and enjoyed reading so much that they couldn't stop. And the best thing is there was no complaining.
Then the next day comes and your ready for another great day. But, somehow things have changed. No one wants to cooperate, no one wants to school today. Your DC are full of rebellion today and you're confused. You're scratching your head and wondering "WHAT HAPPENED?"
This has always been a mystery with no certain answer. When this reoccurring event happens to us we find ourselves on our knees once again. Crying out to the Lord for our children! And many times we often get the the victory for today!
"Prayer is not a preparation for work, it is the work.
Prayer is not preparation for the battle, it is the battle"
Oswald Chambers
Here again tomorrow is another battle all starting all over again. We learn thru experience more how to direct prayer in the midst of these battles. You become skillful with the Word of God which is you sword to fight the enemy with. He said to "study to shew thyself approved."
The battles don't get any easier for us but, we do grow closer to God who will help and strenghten us in the midst of the battle!
So stand your ground! Don't give up or give in to the enemy! Victories on the way!!!
Praying for you!
