As the girls continue in their imaginative play of mermaids, I struggle to be energized and motivated to educate my young this fall. In my search for strength I've been reminded the whole venture of being home with my girls can be stripped away from me. Financially, things aren't good. But job opportunities aren't prevalent out of the house (I have searched), and the thought of school for the girls....well, just isn't an option. We've made a sacrifice to be home this long, why give up now? So? I venture to say I need to pull myself up by the boot straps, dive into murky and joyous depths of living life with my girls and educating them home. In addition, I'll have to continue babysitting here and laying life out in the Lords hands to provide our daily needs, as we've done since the day Carey and I decided that I stay home 13 years ago. Lord, I beg you to give me the strength, endurance and the ability to do this all in a manner worthy of you. At the very least to "dive into the love" I see in their eyes, (this was my quote back 7 years ago when I began homeschooling with Abbey as a kindergardener, and I struggled then with the obedience to the calling.) and experience the your love for us, as we set out on the education endeavor together. I thank you for allowing me to be home with them, I just ask that in my obedience that you will be found here.
