"Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you." Genesis 12:1
Do you ever WANT to leave when God calls you too? I am not a beauty when it comes to this type of godly obedience. So why am I shocked my daughter is traumatized? Many changes and losses were experienced in our family. My daughter's world was rocked. Namely lifestyle and location.
My original homeschooling plan this year was NOT the Lords. It took me some time to get on His Page for Little Mommy, as she is nick named. His plan was far better and met her needs in this season. She is wonderful. What could have been permanent problems with her character have been redeemed. How my heart is thankful.
However, I am at a loss in putting together an impressive portfolio for her pending evaluation. That is my problem and one my heart will feel freedom ring again once it is behind me. How do you document God's Plan that looks foolish to the world?
The blessings of homeschooling no longer need to be explained or defended to any of our extended family. In fact some of the biggest critics now pay my so called salary with their support emotionally and financially. They have been the Lord's hands and feet on this mission field.
So I will remember HIS constant faithfulness and that HE has a plan. All i am to do is believe and participate in it. The portfolio is really His concern.
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
Genesis 12:3
So I'm off to compiling Little Mommy's Portfolio!
