The Good. The Bad. The Ugly: Open Doors

But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” (Mark 4:40 NKJV)

So never say never. I said I'd never home school my kids, yet I did. And I loved every moment with them. We had much needed time together. Time to bond and grow until God prepared us for the next door.

I also said my kids would never, ever attend a public school. Yesterday they enrolled at a small country school, Hico ISD, where preK through 12th grade is all on one campus. I love it!


In the past I would have been too crippled in my fear to enter doors of change. I had developed a bad habit of listening to the lies of the enemy. That is now in the past. So, no, the opinions of others no longer weigh in on my walk with my Savior.

It wasn't easy, but God has freed me from the legalistic chains that kept me bound from the promises He had for me. My relationship with Him has been restored and it is oh so sweet. There is nothing sweeter than an intimate relationship with your Savior. 

I'm sure people think we are crazy. I think I'm crazy! I think of Moses and the Israelites and how they wandered in the dessert instead of claiming God's promises. What fools! Fear kept them in the dessert. Crazy, right? I laugh at the thought now. I'm sure God has been trying to give me His promises for some time, but I was stuck in Egypt where it was comfortable and familiar.

Here's what I know He is promising me. Time. Time to heal, time to grow, time to be the wife and mother He has called me to be. He has blessed me with a beautiful family. This is our season!
