Driver's Ed: Third Time

Wow! We just signed David up for Driver's Ed in the month of June. He is the third child that will be driving. I don't even think that I am used to Johnny driving and now David...

According to His own Purpose...

"[God] who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity." 2 Timothy 1:9

This verse was emailed to us today from a prayer warrior at HCJB Global. This prayer warrior calls us frequently and diligently prays for our family's needs, concerns, and people we are trying to minister to. He is such an encouragement to us during this month of May.

It has always been a struggle to be motivated to continue to do what we are supposed to when God provides such beautiful days for us! Trigonometry and Literature essays are not particularly inviting when you are interested in baseball, plants, and critters. But we need to complete our tasks and finish strong with what we are supposed to complete.

For our family it is multifaceted during the month of May.

1. We need to finish our homeschooling. Sure, I could just knock off the last few pages and not have the kids do them, right? But what would I be teaching the kids by doing that?
2. We need to wrap up awards ceremonies.
3. We will be attending graduation parties.
4. We continue to raise support.
5. We also need to gear up for summer, before spring is done.
6. This year, we also had to get E off to China. [She's been there 5 days, and she's loving it!]

That's only part of the list.
God is good all the time. We look back and it is easier to approach difficult tasks, schedules, and activities, when we remember He has called me to a purpose. There is rhyme and reason to the things we do! There is an appointed time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Praise God for His perfect way and perfect timing.
