God Knows the Plans He has for You


A new school year is upon us. I have decided to go ahead and start. I have been trying to "buy" extra days in case something comes up and we end up dragging school into the summer.

I have a new favorite resource. It's called the Well Planned Day and it looks like this:

As well intended as my plans may be, I must still realize that a certain amount of flexibility is needed. 

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11

I wrote this verse in the front of my planner.




"In My Weakness He is Strong"

"In My Weakness He is strong", these are the words going through my head at this late hour of the night. Lately, there have been many late nights and early mornings as I am a homeschooling mother with four children ages six and under.

I love homeschooling, but it can be exhausting. The words to the verse "Be not weary in well doing" are words that I meditate on often.

I have been up many nights lately at least until eleven p.m.  I'm not sure how I manage to get through each day coherent. I'm sure it must be because the Lord is giving me the strength that I need.

"Be Strong in the LORD and in the power of His might,"  - Ephesians 6:10

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31
