Well, I thought that our break from our homeschooling schedule was going to be a short one.  But it turned out to be a couple of weeks.  For days I kept trying to get back on track with our math lessons, and history  and handwriting.  But something kept getting in the way - field trips, or the kids wanted to work longer on their Bible activities, or they got really into a math (what??) activity, or they were just having so much fun in imaginative play that I hated to break it up.  They were arguing less, cooperating more.  It was to good to be true.  My plans had gone awry, I had lost control, lost control to the Holy Spirit, and it was a good thing!

This week, we're back into our regular flow, and to my surprise the kids are less resistant, and I am less pushy.  I am praying daily that God will show me His plans for our days, and help me to be obedient to follow it.  I sat down Sunday night and wrote out our weekly plan and goals, and then I prayerfully surrendered it to God.  He is trying to teach me something, I am trying to be a good student.  I think it has something to do with surrendering, and submitting.  Not two of my favorite subjects, but definitely ones I desire to learn.     I pray I earn a passing grade!
