In December, I was convicted to do better with the Bible training in our home. Once again, my husband had been telling me that this area was more important than other studies, while state-requirement-checklist me went my own way, allowing Bible to come last, some days- not at all.
The problem is that Bible training was one of the big things that made me finally decide to listen to the homeschool call. The Lord practically kicked me before I decided to do it. Really.
So December I realized I was ignoring my first love.
“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.”-Revelation 2:4
And with that I looked around and saw just how out of order my home had become; it did not meet the standards I knew we could meet. Most importantly, I was failing in the job God entrusted me to do.
“You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” -Deuteronomy 6:7
With 2012 just around the bend, I saw all of the things in my life that were out of focus.
Not only was I depriving myself of a proper diet of The Word, I was depriving my children as well.
So we stripped it all down, and put it back together, bit by bit. Building upon the true foundation, the purpose for our journey. Focused.
“But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."-Luke 6:49
Far from perfect-but at peace with where we are.
