As I continue plugging away cleaning , organizing and preparing for the school year to start, I have to sit back and ponder where all the time went! My oldest will be entering her twelfth year and my youngest will be doing grade three work! No more 'ABCs' and '123s'; this year has to be well thought out and organized. It has to be comprehensive and consistent...hmmmm I think I am beginning to feel somewhat overwhelmed! I want to do the very best I can at educating them and I always thank my God for giving me the strength to do this; to do what I feel we are called to do as a family, on the education front. People are often times telling me I must be 'Super Woman" or "I could never do that!". I know they mean well and perhaps want to compliment me or perhaps they do not know what to say; but I am only doing this by and through the grace and power of God. I am by no means and very far from "Super Woman"; and I could never do this without God!
So as I now go downstairs to continue planning and organizing I pray for the grace that I need. One day at a time, and I need to make each day count; to glorify my God in whatever I am doing .......we are never promised tomorrow so I must make it count!
As a retired public school teacher, I say Diana you are doing the best thing for your family. The influences in public school are horrible. This is got to be a special year for you. Glad that third grader is lauched also.
