I have taken all "outside the house teaching" (teaching at co-op, teaching women's Bible studies, teaching other homeschoolers gym, Sunday school, etc.) off my schedule for the next 5 months, in order to focus on my own 5 little ones and to prepare for another move. It felt hard, but so good! Yes, may we do HIS will, even when it looks strange to those around us or when we aren't meeting peoples expectations. May Jesus be glorified by our priorities to honor Him in every season of life!<br />Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675431603616863614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-19666006497486825022019-01-08T10:11:45.406-05:002019-01-08T10:11:45.406-05:00Dear Monica,
Recently I was moved to comment (some...Dear Monica,<br />Recently I was moved to comment (something I don't do!) on the only other blog that I read regularly. It seems to have been an encouragement to her, and now I know I must comment here since I've dragged my feet for so long... Years ago I read many blogs, but eventually felt convicted to stop reading and start focusing on my husband and children and living my own life. Years have passed, and I have completed my homeschooling journey... my children are grown, married, and beginning families of their own (that time went by SOOO FAST!). Out of curiosity, I went back to peek at some of those blogs I had followed in the past to see where people were in their lives. I was so delighted and encouraged to read yours again... to see that you had remained faithful in "running the race", loving your family, delighting in your home, seeking first the Kingdom of God... The things about which you write resonate deeply within my own heart, and I am so encouraged whenever I come visit your blog (which I do daily)! I encourage you to keep doing what you're doing... you are doing it well! I have enjoyed "watching" your children blossom from wee little folks to beautiful young people! I also so very much understand the need to recharge through Quiet, Slow, and Creativity! I think you are probably wise beyond your years! THANK YOU so much for sharing openly about the struggles you face and the beautiful ways God provides you the strength to walk through the struggles! Your writings encourage me to pursue a closer walk with Jesus! May God continue to richly bless you and your family! (I was so very sorry to read of your family's loss, but rejoice in knowing your father is in the presence of our Lord. Praying your family is finding continued strength and peace with each passing day.)Lois Lanserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306701271029253586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-90677557937229791432019-01-08T07:34:05.135-05:002019-01-08T07:34:05.135-05:00I printed that quote to keep.
