Homeschooling for His Glory

I Need You by Christian Stanfill I am frail, broken easily Without fail, my strength keeps failing me All alone, I'm powerless To lift myself from the pit that I am in I need You, Jesus I need You, Jesus From Your throne in heaven's light Descended down into my broken life To right the wrong, to make a way To bear the load that I deserved to bear alone I need You, Jesus I need You, Jesus I need clean hands I can't, You can I need You, Jesus On the cross on our behalf The Son of God bore the Father's wrath And by His blood, the scars and pain The perfect Son, took the fall and took our place In His grace and unfailing love The risen King gave His hand to us To lift us up, from the pit And set our feet upon a rock that ever stands On my own I've tried and tried To save myself, to fill my life But the more I do the more I find That I need You, I need You, I need You

Job 33:27-30 27 And they will go to others and say, ‘I have sinned, I have perverted what is right, but I did not get what I deserved. 28 God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’ 29 “God does all these things to a person— twice, even three times— 30 to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.

We sing Your Mercies (by Sovereign Grace Music) Ref: We sing Your mercies We sing Your endless praises We sing Your everlasting love We sing Your mercies We sing Your endless praises Sovereign One who died Sovereign One who died for us Should He who made the stars Be hung upon a tree And should the hands that healed Be driven through for me? Should He who gave us bread Be made to swallow gall? Should He who gave us breath and life Be slaughtered for us all? Should He who is the light Be cast into the dark? And should the Lord of love Be pierced through His own heart? Should He who called us friends Be deserted by us all Should He who lived a sinless life Be punished for our fall?

The second week of school of 2011 went pretty well. Praise God. The boys have been pretty diligent in following the schedule they put together with my help. I guess when kids come up with thing themselves they are more likely to stick to it. When I try to switch things around, I encounter some resistance. As a matter of fact it's good for me, because I am not a natural schedule follower lol. It is a blessing in disguise.
