It has been WAY TOO LONG since I have written. And I had almost decided to delete the blog
and stop this writing thing. But then I
realized I still needed an outlet to share my heart and stories – even if it is
only a few times a year.
In reality, I could have written a novel with all that has
happened to our family so far this year.
For now, I will stick to what is happening in the present.
I am stuck and have been struggling with many, many things. One of them is … am I making an impact where
I teach at Summit Academy? I do not have
a teaching degree. I am a homeschool mom
with a love for teaching. I enjoy kids
and having fun while learning. But are
the parents getting what they paid for? Are the kids learning? Does it make a difference? The answer is … YES!
How do I know this?
Last week at Summit, I had at least five of my students come give me
hugs after class. One student, a middle
schooler, said that she looked forward to my class more than any of the
others. I asked her why? (Thinking she
would say it was the material we were learning.) She replied, “You are upbeat, kind, and
engaging. You make this class so much
fun.”
Trust me – I was not expecting or looking for that
response. And I don’t write it to toot
my own horn or make myself out to be something grand. I write it to let those of you reading know
that it was an answer to one of many, many prayers I have been praying. It was
God, through the sweet voice of a student, reminding me that I have a
purpose. And not to grow weary … because
I do feel so weary.
Scripture says. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
I keep saying this to myself, but if feels like a losing
battle. So the encouragement this week at
school came at a great time. However, I
find myself waiting for encouragement in other areas of my life … parenting,
being a wife, being a friend, running my little organizing business, and the
ministries I participate in at church.
Lord, please give me strength - I am growing weary.
He will be faithful to answer in His due time. I have seen Him do an amazing healing in my
daughter in the last week. I now wait to
see what is in store for me. I have hope
it is something amazing and will bring Him great glory!
Prayers appreciated. Let me know how I can pray for you.
