May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit restore your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God. In Jesus Name, Amen...

seasons
Many believers I know live as though it is always supposed to be harvest time and they grow frustrated when their lives are not as fruitful in other seasons. If harvest is our only expectation, then we’ll despise the days when Jesus shapes our lives in the relative stillness of winter, or holds us in his hands while we face the heat of summer, bringing maturity to his fruit in us. Vines are never frustrated with shifting seasons. Each one is essential to the cycle of fruitfulness that God invites us to embrace.

No Guarantees!
LOVED this article from Barbara Frank.
“Great (Homeschool) Expectations” - http://barbarafrankonline.com/blog.php/2012/01/04/great-homeschool-expectations/
So many times we think, “if we just do a, b and c our kids will turn out all right.” And then we are shocked when they don’t and we wring our hands with worry and regret, wondering what we did wrong. I am a realist and I know that how my kids turn out will have little to do with me and everything to do with the choices they make in life. And that is why I appreciate this article that Barbara Frank has written. I encourage you to read it.
