CHARACTER CHARACTER CHARACTER

So much has been going on lately, this little spot has been neglected....

I am being more and more convicted about character and homeschool (or my lack of it)....coming from a non Christian background where yelling strife and violence was the norm....I find that I am constantly fighting that devil in my life.

Most of the time I am the conquerer, and I find that I can let Jesus reign, but occassionally...to be honest I loose it. Now we all know that Godly Superwomen who Homeschool their kids NEVER NEVER NEVER loose it......

That is what GETS me when people call me a supermum (6 kids, Homeschool, Pastors Wife, Chns Worker etc etc) It makes me want to scream.....I am no different to any other woman trying to walk with God. My kids watch my every moment, and to be true I do not always reflect Him. Dear Jesus help me be more like you, reflect your grace and mercy to my kids hubby and my church.

You know being honest helps, spritual vanity or pride makes us hide....just like Adam and Eve did.....folks we have a great resource here in this site, let us be open and honest about our walk with God, and our struggles with our flesh man.

I am convinced that even if we Homeschool, if our character is not like Jesus we almost HSchol in vain, we shoot our own foot and wound our witness with the same hypocrisy of the most blatent and proud Pharisee that ever confronted Jesus. We need to die so that He may live, harder for some I know, but WE MUST, because our kids salvation depends on it.

Dare I say that some kids would be better off IN school with sweet spirited parents, than at home with a bitter, twisted and raging parent.....oh how much better off are kids who ARE Homeschooled with sweet spirited, and loving parents...let that be our aim, the HIGH Calling.....Let that be our bar and goal.

I hope this is not interpreted as a judgement but an honest cry from my heart, to yours.....Oh that they see Jesus.....Forgive me for being open.

I am not perfect or even a spiritual giant, I am a Mama who wants to please God and make a difference in her 6 kids lives.

I am reminded of a song Amy Grant years ago sang about "She has her Father's Eyes.............." that is my cry for my life and yours too.....

Blessings as you labour for Him who died for you and our kids

Love from a humble
