Do you get the jitters every year?

Going back to homeschooling actually isn't as intimidating as starting homeschooling. But it's still scary!

It's constantly on my mind, I think I just might go crazy. :) In the face of my children's education, a new baby, helping with a home school group (in the future), and trying to (slowly, slowly) keep taking college classes sounds impossible. I tend to think things are less possible than they are until I start doing them, though.

Saw these lyrics on another blog, and I hadn't listened to our Rich Mullins CDs in a while. Do you know the song? You may not know the song, but you better know the artist or you're square.

Sometimes my life
Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something
I don't really want
Than  take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band
Is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace  

 

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

In the face of these things, my faith seems pretty darn small. Microscopic in fact. I have hope- we took our kids out of school today to go to church and I knew when we were there it was a great thing. If we homeschool, they'll miss far less.
