Apr. 16, 2008 - Moments I Love
From my last couple of entries, it's really obvious that I'm ready for this schoolyear to be over. In fact, when I'm not on guard, doubt about my ability starts to creep in and I wonder if this is truly the best for our children. And then the Lord hears the cry of my heart as I pour out to Him my uncertainty, my fear, my pride, and my weakness. He speaks to me through His precious Word. He quiets my heart, and lets me know that it is I who moved--not Him--and He's been waiting for me to meet with Him again. All of that is more than enough for a daughter to know that her Father loves her, but He continues to encourage and strengthen me--pouring out good gifts like the doting Father He is. This week He did that by simply opening my eyes to those moments that speak loudest to me. The moments in my children's lives when I see their love for Him, for my husband and me, and for each other.
So, is this sacrifice worth it?
Ohhhh yeeessssss!!!!!!
They enjoy playing together! (OK, most of the time.)
There is no better way to practice that new-found skill!
My days aren't always like this. In fact, these pictures were on two different days. But you know what? The Lord sends them along just often enough for me to know that this is a huge part of the reason we have them home--where they belong.
Thank you, Lord.

We all have those doubtful times, I go through it every year, then I capture those ah-ha moments and move along. I love hsing, but it can be stressful at times.
btw, I like the title of your blog, would be a good title for a book!

Although, it's with the ps, and not hs. I am so ready to be done with "school stuff"! The kids are ready, too....Computer Monster didn't want to go to school today! We are ready for hours at the park, riding bikes, and exploring without having to wait until 3 in the afternoon to do it! I'm sure that we will be that way with hs, too, but that schedule will be so much more flexible!
Hang in there!!!!

I understand where you're at. We have slowed down considerably as I feel we have reached all the academic goals and are now trying to finish workbooks and get our "official school days" in. BTW I just had to say you did an awesome job writing the article that you did for your paper! Fantastic! Blessings as you finish up your school year! Julie
