Joy in the Morning

“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭30:11-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬



Lord, You are the reason for my praise. Because You came near, I all able to be joyful, to sing praise. There are so many reasons to rejoice, and I’m so thankful for all that You do & how You continually come through for our church & our family. But, it’s You that I’m most grateful for. Your presence changes everything. You change my perspective & renew my vigor to press on today. 

What a joy it is to homeschool! I’m so grateful for the call to be around my children all day! Thank you that I get to learn right alongside them. I get to relearn history & math, I get to teach reading right alongside them. 

Oh, Jesus, You are my reason to rejoice. I am able to stay right where You planted me because You sustain, You give life! And You are so good.

We don’t know what the future holds, but we know that You’ll be there. 

I surrender this day to You. Would You lead & guide our family in our homeschool today? Would You raise my children to become world changers? We need You! Let me not take my eyes off of You!

Listen Up...

At the Discipleship Summit this year Jesus kept telling me in multiple ways to be a better listener... 1. He was a great listener! Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

The B-I-B-L-E Yes That's the Book For Me!

Yesterday, after much bickering and breaking up fights I said to the kids, "We really need to sit down and read our Bible together.  We need to hear from the Lord!"  The sounds that followed ripped me to the core..."Awww!" "Do we have to?" "I don't like reading the Bible!"  I wanted to scream in anger about how they never seem to make those sounds when we sit down to watch a movie, but I didn't, I just started reading.  Zeke was the only one scrambling to get to my lap and hear the story. Afterwards, I let the kids go play and I just sat in the Popasan chair feeling dejected, like a terrible mother. "Lord, you promised to pour out your Spirit on my children!  What is happening?  I am failing you...failing them!  You have to do something" I brought them all back into the sun room for a light lecture.  Haha...yeah, if that's possible! "Guys, I have one main job as a mother and that is to teach you the Word of God....
