HOMESchool

I am overwhelmed and excited, anxious and scared, unsure and yet positive about what I'm about to begin. I know that this is what God wants for our family. It has been so clear and so obviously confirmed so many times.

Monday, I will teach the 2nd Grade.

I am overwhelmed at how much work there is to do, and will continue to be.
I am excited about the things we will study, all of the (free!) curriculum handed down to us and the possiblities for learning in creative and fun ways.
I am anxious to get it started and see how it works.
I am scared to death that I just can't do it....repeating over and over "In my weakness, He is strong."
I am unsure about the future, the schedules, the daily routine, the teaching dynamics...
I am positive that this is God's will for us..."for such a time as this".

This was my verse for today in the study I'm doing...
which this week just happens to be on...

PATIENCE!

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised."
Hebrews 10:35 & 36

When you think of me, please pray.
Pray for Brad, too. He is starting 2 new overwhelming projects at church....
Saturday night services AND The Passion Play.
