Faithful

March 20th, 2008

God is so good to lead me.  Often times, it takes pain to see what He is up to, but ultimately, if you are sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will be lead in His ways.

Before we left for Peru, there had been a few things Mike and I had been praying about.  One of them was me working again a bit in order to bring in some funds to pay off a debt that has been hanging over our head for 3 years.  This year, I had the courage to pray and ask God to give us the resources to get this thing done with by the end of the year.

I was approached about starting a small music class again at the local community center.  We thought, maybe it may be a way that God would provide for this particular need.  So I started the class and yesterday was the second class. Yesterday, Leading up to the class was so stressful, our school rhythm was completely trashed, my attitude was horrible, and I was scrambling to find child care at the last minute.  Exactly what I went through every week, all the years I worked when the kids were small.

That is what I laid down and left, when God called us to homeschool. Our life has been so gentle and peaceful, because I have been gentle and peaceful without the stress of having to be somewhere else.  Even just one hour a week, still ruined an entire day.  So no work for me.  God will provide in other miraculous and mysterious ways.

I feel like a million pounds has been lifted off my back.  It is very freeing to simply trust God and see what happens.  In the end it is his faithfulness in every situation that sees you through.

Happy, homeschooling, non-working, stay at home Mom, signing off.

Peace to all!
