I'm holing myself up in my room today. Just me. my computer. a pile of our homeschooling stuff.I. will. prevail.
My intent is to come up with a plan of action. A schedule of sorts, being that both my children and I function better with the understanding of what's next...
I've been working off and on for months now. Preparing. Wading through the extraneous stuff. Trying to wrap my brain around what OUR home schooling experience will look, feel, and sound like.
And then last night happened. As I sat at my laptop, trying to formulate the details, I broke. Some of the things were feeling too overwhelming. And what's the point in that? If I'm overwhelmed, my children will follow suit. And our foundation in learning will be one of stress, frustration, and indigestion.
So with tears running down my face, I bowed my head and prayed. "Lord, I need your help. I need to know what would be the best for us in this season. And only you know that."
And God spoke. Completely changing a large portion of what I've been spending the last three months preparing. All that preparation wiped away in one conversation with God.
As well as all that frustration.
"In his heart a man (woman) plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
I have a peace. and an exciting plan of action. And thanks to my jewel of a husband, I have the day "off". He's got the day with the kids. I have the day with their school books.
God, give favor. vision. and excitement to carry out the things you've given me opportunity to carry during this season: their minds.
More to come...
