Back to PREPARING after a hiatus..
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:09 pm
We had to take a break from Preparing as we had too many starts and stops with fall vacation, different house guests, Daddy's surgery (kept him home from the office), holidays and a ski vacation. This caused us to have long frustrating days not being able to get into a good groove of things.
So, today was our first day back after a few months and ds did phenomenal. It was very encouraging to me today as I was just a bit nervous for both of us. I asked dh and my two dear friends, also fellow HOD Mom's to keep me in prayer and the Lord Most High was gracious to us, as I was also starting a new guide with my other ds and continuing with LHTH with dd
All in all these are some points that helped our first day go well.
1. Dh and I prayed last night and this am for Gods grace to be with me.
2. Daddy was not home, he realized that his wonderful presence has us all in a mode of relaxation
3. I realized while we had our hiatus, that ds did great with his assignments written on the white board, so he can erase them as he goes down the list!
4. Asked my tow dear friends how they schedule their day with Preparing and to keep me in prayer..
5. I let ds take charge of the manual, not caring if it gets stained, dropped, ruined etc.
(Carrie has more and ships fast)
6. I planned to be available as long
as he needed me for any and all his subjects, with a loving attitude.
I was done with all the kiddo's before lunch and ds was all done with everything before lunch!
He was so excited to be done early and I was so blessed, I know not every day will be perfect or we have no opportunity to grow in the Lord and be humble etc., but for me a perfect first day speaks loudly, so I give all praise to the Lord....
