"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."-2 Corinthians 4:17-18
Satan is a deceiver. We must never forget that! I am starting to stress about school starting (we are going on our 3rd year, but more of 2nd officially) and if I'll be able to do it, will I be able to do it better, will I have too much on my plate, can I stick to a schedule,...am I good enough to do this???? Well, I'm not able to do this on my own, but God is my refuge and my strength. He has equipped me to do this job that He has called us to. So what does He need from me? My faith, my trust and my commitment...and hope. My sweet friend Terri wrote a post that spoke to me greatly, and probably all of this, just about life in general. "Chip away" her husband tells her. "Don't make it so complicated" my husband tells me. "Just do a little each day, but do something each day."
Dear Lord help me to stop believing the lies and to see through your eyes. Dear Lord, set my day, set the schedule, that I follow your plans and not my own. Lord, help me in my unbelief, trusting that You will guide me. Father, I pray you'll bless our efforts and shower us with your spirit of peace, joy and love. Thank you for the opportunity again to homeschool and to teach these precious children you blessed us with. It is not about me, it is about You Lord! You are Great and Mighty and oh so worthy of our praise! You are my rock, my strength and my refuge and I can't do this without you, Lord. Looking forward to our schooling Lord and thanking you in advance for the great plans you have and your merciful and grace filled help! Thank you Lord! I love you! Amen!
