My Crazy MONDAY –Yesterdays Post!!!!

So I woke this morning with the idea of getting my school planning for year 2009 and just meditate on what I want my school schedule to be field trips and activities … Also need to make sure all the school work gets done for the year!!

SO what was I thinking????? I cleaned all morning like I do every Monday and by 1 PM I started planning only to get frustrated and stressed about my year and all that still needs to get done!! I decided to use Homeschool Tracker to plan school and the rest of the year. Well even though it is great I have so much work to do !!!

Again I realized that without God and him alone I am not able to accomplish all that I need to for the remaining of the year!

Gal 6:9 Again I counseled my heart and reminded myself to PRESS ON- It is so great how God in his word gives us Hope for our future!

Funny never thought that Home schooling the kids would bring me closer to God and his Word but it has…. I am studying David for my daily Devotions from Beth Moore one of my favorite writers

Day 62 is when David lost his son due to sin and he then turned to God and cried out for 7 days and fasted but his son still died. But thru this David restored his relationship with God and then God blessed him with Solomon. I think of how great our God is that he uses situation in our life that can be so hard for us to draw us nearer to him!! Not that losing a son is equivalent to home schooling but it can be something God uses in my life or yours to draw us to HIM!!


Okay so my year is not all planned YET ! I will continue to do some more today and just pray that God would show me the areas he wants me to focus on…… I guess what I would love to do this coming year is to serve more and spend more time giving back to God. Here are some things I have in prayer:

  1. Serve in With Love from Jesus http://withlovefromjesus.org ...It is a place that gives food, clothes and other household items to those in need with the gospel! To be able to show Gods love to the needy and in pain is something that fills my heart with JOY! Plus to teach my kids to do missionary work here at home is what I am all about!
  2. Visiting those that are hurting or need encouragement in our church
  3. Sharing more time with other homeschooled families in field trips or outings
  4. Bible Studies one on one

Unfortunately as I see how much work needs to be completed for this year I come to realized that I am NOT able to take once a week off our school schedule to do these things as a family! My heart gets so sad knowing that if only I would have planned better I would have been able to give more to others and have the flexibility. With this said I need to plan out the rest of the week to my best and stay consistent with our schedule so that I can squeeze in time for others!!

Again how great is our God the way he teaches us and show us HIS ways!! I am so thankful to have a Savior that loves me so much!!

And today Tuesday the 16th my journey continues as I finish planning and seeking to please God in all I do!

Blessed Much Jessie

I so totally understand what you are going through. Life is such a balance- the balance of reaching out to others but also keeping the home and children peaceful and taken care of. I will pray with you that God will give you the wisdom to make the right decisions.

Thanks for sharing your heart! I think it is wonderful when we can be transparent with each other- it helps me know how to pray for you and encourage you.

I've really struggled with this type of issue the past few years and have come to realize that the choice is mine: I can wash the dishes or play with my kids, I can spend money on myself or buy something for someone else, I can sleep in on Saturday or do volunteer work. I'm really learning (by the grace of God) to try to take the focus off me and put it on others. IT'S SO HARD- especially when I want to do something for ME to instead do something for someone else!
