Strange to think that you could "preach" something so true and then need to come back and read it for yourself because it didn't originate with you in the first place... but from Him.<br /><br />He is truly the good in this world. Thanks so much for all your comments, too. I have very little time online and I so enjoy reading what you all write. I wish I had time to respond to every comment, but I usually keep personal responses to email. :) Email me if you ever need to talk to a live person! I'm here... avoiding my laundry like the rest of you!Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-3975434545004006322011-11-08T07:53:20.123-06:002011-11-08T07:53:20.123-06:00Truth is timeless and always relevant. So it is we...Truth is timeless and always relevant. So it is well spoken and scripture covered with your post of three years ago. I have been in a lonely broken state as a homeschool, adoptive mom for too long. Your post was so transparent to me that a door finally swung wide open to confirm that many many mom's struggle in this way!! I have bought into the facade by the world and most women that we must suffer in silence and keep up the front. What a lie from the evil one to keep us in bondage. Your post is so open and honest. Why can't we women trust each other more with these truths so we can be strong and confident in the most important job on earth? I know for me, the brokenness is so deep and seems to surface so raw as a mom and a wife. I am so encouraged and renewed by this devotional find this morning. Thank you for using your gifts and talents to reach a lonely generation. I am sorry for my long windedness...a caged bird has only her singing to free her!!!

Thanks so much for this - today...Amen, amen, AMEN!! Thanks so much for this - today is May 5, 2010! I did a search for HSmom's devos, and this was the first one to pop up, just like one of the above posts stated. I often feel inadequate, when I compare myself to others who "seem" to have it all together. However, if I were a betting a woman, I'd wager a tidy sum that they are not as "with it" as they would like for us to believe. I also like what another post said about HOMEschooling -- we've been spending too much time AND money "travel" schooling, to this group co-op, or that group field trip, and for what? Socialization?? UGH THAT WORD -lol- My children have yet to form relationships with any of the children in those groups. So, I'm going to stop dragging them all over town, just so I can feel like I'm doing a better a job. Thank you so much for this OBVIOUSLY devinely inspired post. It was such a tremendous blessing to me, in a desperately needed moment. God bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-44781424652284640862009-05-06T06:08:00.000-05:002009-05-06T06:08:00.000-05:00I needed encouragement this morning, and I did a s...I needed encouragement this morning, and I did a search for homeschool mom devotional. Today, might I add is May 6, 2009. This devotional was posted June 2008, but somehow through God's miracle working wonders, it was the first item to pop up in the search. It was written JUST for me. It was Just the encouragement I needed. I was talking to God just yesterday about feeling less than adequate and about comparing myself to other homeschool moms who seem to have it all together. I am always second gessing everything I do. Simple things, for instance, yesterday, I couldn't find my "kitchen" sissors, so I cut up green onions for supper with scrapbooking scalloped edge sissors. Somehow this made me feel less than adequate. Surely these "pedestal" moms I know, always know where their kitchen utensils are. They would never cut up food with scrapbooking tools. Why, would I beat myself up about something so dumb. The onions did get cut up, and were prettier than usual, and the scalloped edge sissors are all clean now and back where they belong, so what did it matter? Thanks for this devotion. I can't thank you enough, it brought tears of relief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-71503157276525925802008-07-08T06:38:00.000-05:002008-07-08T06:38:00.000-05:00This was such an inspiring post!

I love the way you threaded the theme of grace through it; as Christians, it's really all about Him and we control freaks tend to forget that and make it all about us. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the encouragement!<BR/><BR/>~AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661583602799129279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-36889093946240334092008-07-05T10:42:00.000-05:002008-07-05T10:42:00.000-05:00This is a wonderful homeschool devotion Heather.

I do worry and get embarrassed when my children misbehave (did you notice?), but I have rarely worried that they aren't learning or that we didn't get this done or whatever. <BR/>I am blessed now that my girls are big helpers in keeping the home, but, being a "messy", I am thankful my house is much cleaner now than it used to be. <BR/>Once I decided that I was going to HOMEschool, instead of "all-over-town"school, life got easier, and we don't worry about what everyone else is doing. We compare ourselves to ourselves and God's Word. Life is much simpler that way. And less expensive, too.<BR/>:)<BR/>HUGS and LOVE~ JJacque Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627307471374265053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-4713603039717149452008-07-01T15:45:00.000-05:002008-07-01T15:45:00.000-05:00So true!
