Hope for the moment 2

As I mentioned before, I have gleaned some wonderful things from this new Bible study! :) My Husband and I have recently embarked upon a new journey.  He is working full time as the Executive Vice President of WMtek, and has begun seminary classes.  We have also decided to homeschool our 2 children for the first time this year.  Our life is extremely busy but Praise the Lord it is A LIFE, not four different lives who happen to live in the same house.  With this crazy, busy, wonderful life comes challenges we have never had to face before.  And my role in it has become way more complex!

John is normally up literally all night working on either school or work.  He never sleeps.  My role is caretaker, encourager, partner, alarm clock, secretary, chief coffee maker, housekeeper, wife, love.  I enjoy it more than I can say and I am so thankful he is able to complete his classes from home! We are truly blessed!  At times is is hard but as all doctors will tell you when they have to give you a medication that will help you a lot yet has some unpleasant side effects: The benefits outweigh the risks :)  My desire through it all is to bring glory to God and to create an oasis for my husband so that our time with him is a time of refreshment and rest.

To my children, I am now taking on not just my usual role of mother, confidant, encourager, comforter, again housekeeper and friend, but teacher as well.  I am extremely excited and also scared by the responsibility that it brings.  All this coming at once is a lot to deal with which brings me to the hope that i have learned through this bible study and what I am carrying with me through out this journey.  It is a hope that I pray will encourage the reader of this humble blog as well!

Psalm 139:16¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me 
   were written in your book before one of them came to be.

wow! My Days were planned by God before I was even born, as were my husband's, and my children's!! Thank you Lord! Now in light of the beautiful truth I have an idea that I will be putting forth God willing every day for as long as it takes :)  That plan is to Ad a different verse to this every day to meditate on God's wonderful provision for me!!!  For example:Psalm 139:16¹⁶ your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  AND Romans 8:28 ²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,^[a] who^[b] have been called according to his purpose.  See if that doesn't hearten you!
