My blog now has a new theme!  A special thanks to the designer/writer of the Daniel Academy (here on homeschoolblooger) for helping me out with the HTML coding for this.  HTML may as well be Ancient Greek as far as I'm concerned, because I have the most difficult time learning it!

The picture - the "old path" - is dear to my heart.  Some years ago, I was praying and asking the Lord to help me be a good mother and a good wife.  I knew that God required more from me than simply bathing, clothing, and feeding my children.  I just didn't know what that was.  A day or so later, my father gave me a book called Ancient Paths, which led me to this scripture in Jeremiah.  Reading that book was such a blessing to me and made me hungry for the "good way".  I was no longer satisfied with modern Christianity, modern motherhood, or being the 90s woman!  I wanted the old path, where the good way is.  I wanted rest for my soul.

Since then, the Lord has been ever faithful in uncovering His Word and His Will for motherhood to me.  I am so glad that God knows that plans that He has for me and our children.  God has a vision that reaches far beyond my lifetime and into future generations of Kings.  He already sees every one of our children in their adult lives, fighting the war against Satan, training their children after them.  He sees their victories and their struggles.  He hears their prayers and reads their thoughts - God is doing that now.

My prayer is that, as their mother, I will succeed at providing them with the foundation that they need to help them along the way.  Since God is not limited to the boundaries of space and time, I ask Him to move on my heart today, so that I will feed into my children what they need as an answer to their prayers of tomorrow, the ones that God is listening to today.  Then, He only needs to remind them of what their mother and father has taught them, from infancy, concerning His Word and His promises.

I truly believe that as mothers, through prayer and seeking the face of God, we are able to touch the lives of our great, great, great, great-grandchildren.  We are in the position, now, to place God into their hearts.  We only need to be dilligent, steadfast and purposeful in the work that we do today.  I fight daily against complacency, slothfulness, and the idea that my work is mundane and of very little value.  All of this is a trick of the enemy to keep me from accomplishing my true goal, to raise up generations of Apostolic, Bible-believing people that will share God's love with a dying world. 

This is the "old path".  This is the "good way", and modern society needs us to point them toward it more than ever before.
