Sometimes I find myself wondering if He's even there at all. It probably does to most of us at times. What more do we need as a reminder that the Lord has led us to teach our own children and that homeschooling is His will for our family. The past two months I have felt so weak, physically and emotionally weak. I think you get the idea.
Discouragement steals our strength .
I think one way it does is because we have to work SO HARD when we are discouraged. It also comes from others. In like manner, when we see others under the enemy's attack, let us brace and strengthen them. It means, quite simply, accepting small duties which are distasteful to you. Put your shoulder under that cross.
