A Plea for Mercy
In all loving relationships, the possibility (and probability) of pain is a reality. We continually need healing from the hurtful acts of others. We can learn how to heal, forgive, and become better for the experience, or we can stay stuck, hold grudges, and blame, locking ourselves in a painful prison without parole.
Back on Track
For me, each season is just long enough to bring a longing for what’s next. At the outset, I’m excited for the change, for the new purpose, the feeling of having a clean slate, motivation to make changes in myself, course correct, get back on track. My goals always include healthier living and spiritual strengthening.
One by One
To accept the responsibility for a child’s education at home is to swim against the current, which can be difficult for both the mommy fish and the rest of the “school.” Overall, however, I’ve loved it. It’s been a blessing and a joy having the opportunity to watch my children grow and to learn along with them. It has also been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I knew the Lord wanted me to homeschool, so I faced the unknowns, the challenges, the skeptics, and most of all—the CHILDREN. Day after day. Battle after battle. It wasn’t perfect, not even close, but it was rewarding and strengthening to our family.
