You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
I like many of you have not spent the summer vacationing under an umbrella with a glass of lemonade on a balmy white sand beach.
I have spent the summer pushing through math left unfinished by my children "last" year, planning school for "next" year, scouring used book sites and stores and curriculum fairs for materials and THANKING GOD ALMIGHTY that I do not have to run out on "tax-free" weekend to buy school clothes.
In my efforts to plan school for this year I have done a few things differently that I would like to share with you. Over the next few weeks of August I will share things with you that are impacting our homeschool and changing the way I am approaching this ministry.
Pray Without Ceasing
First and foremost I have prayed. Many of us leave this all important element to last, and I confess that in years past I have not prayed at all for our homeschool journey. But this year I have a renewed sense of the power and purpose of prayer. I have been taking stock of myself as a wife, as a mother, as a homeschooler and I have found myself short in many areas. I have purposed to change with God's help and to strive to become the daughter HE has called me to be. By doing that all other areas will be addressed as well.
No, I don't spend hours a day locked in a closet praying, but I do have a prayer plan and I do my best to follow it every day.
I found and posted a calendar with a daily prayer point for children. I printed it and put it on the fridge, and I also copied them to my online calendar so I get a reminder e-mail every morning.
