Memory Verse: 1 John 4:16 (NIV)

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

Assignment: This week I thought we could share what great ways we have found to help with all we have to do.  Besides the obvious getting face down in front of God, what have you found that works?  Have you done a great bible study that deals with this area?  Do you have a certain “thing” that  really helps you like a planner or gadget?  Do you have a certain bible verse that just speaks to you and you have it posted so you see it all the time?  Is there a website that is really valuable to you in this area?   What do you do that if someone else found out about it, they could benefit from it?

Ooooh, I would have to say the thing that helps me to get through tough times would be realizing that I’m am only able to stay home and homeschool by the grace that God has given me.  If I’d attempted to do this years ago, it would not have worked.  I’ve matured so much, spritually,  just in the last 5 years, but emotionally in the last 12 years I’ve grown the most.  I’ve always known that I could get through anything with God on my side, however, I really only just started accepting that in the last 4-5 years.  Singing and scripture are my two biggest tools in life that bring me some of the greatest respite.  There have been a multitude of things that have helped me to get through the really hard times, but mostly it’s from knowing and believing with all of my heart and soul that God will carry me, as He has shown me so many times before.

My favorite song — How Great Thou Art — Amy Grant

My favorite verse — Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Be blessed and have a wonderful week!
