The Heart of the Home
The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word
and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart
(Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23),
by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

DS was saying his prayers tonight. He was praying for some things and then said,"If it be your will, Lord. Let it be." Okay so I want that kind of faith. I see now each day what "faith like a child" looks like through DS. I sure needed it today when we found out that we will most likely be moving again next June. I feel like we just got here and we had hoped to stay 3 years here but that is not the Army's/ Lord's plans. Hearing DS's prayer surely caused me to pause and realize that his prayer should be mine.
Yes I am disappointed we will be moving and another school year will be interrupted. Yes I love our home and don't want to leave. But I should not love or want these things more than I want the Lord. I should desire Him more than any of it. And that uninterrupted school year? Well I need to remind myself that God surely knew about this before we did and He will equip me if I only lean on Him. Right?
So, let me see if I can do it. "Lord, you know our hearts' desire is to stay here. Help us to accept the coming move with eager anticipation of what you have in store for us. Let your will be done. Let it be."

Aren't kids the most amazing teachers sometimes? Thank you for sharing this!!! It's a wonderful reminder!!!
I'm so glad you 'found' me!!! It's so nice to find someone else on this 'journey' of raising boys to be Godly Gentlemen. It seems that the word 'Gentlemen' is a foreign word nowadays!! How sad is that?!
I loved stopping by for a visit!! Your blog is wonderful!!! (It's a nice break. I'm supposed to be cleaning!! he he he~do you see my sheepish grin?)
I'll stop in again for another visit!!!
In His grip,
Robyn

I am sorry you will have to be disrupted by a move. But you are right; you need to trust the Lord and try to look forward to the new opportunities it will offer you.
Best wishes to you.

The Lord does have a wonderful plan for us. I find it hard at times to quite my heart and listen for what He wants. Renee and children are blessing because they don't try to filter out His words to us. We will MISS you so much, but I know all will be well!
