Do you have a child that you BUTT HEADS with?

Yesterday I mentioned one desire was to BOND with my daughter through the process of home schooling.  She is the one so far that I seem to butt heads with the most.  So you ask WHY, give her the opportunity to home school?  This is the first year that all my kiddos would be in school, WHY NOW?  I have worked so hard these past 11+ years raising up my kiddos, why would I want to take on such a task?

I guess the selfish side of me would agree, it is MY TIME to have the opportunity to hear myself think, to process a thought without getting interrupted, to work on projects that have gone undone, to take a day and not do anything maybe have some downtime or to focus on my business and help other people change their lives.  What about the fact that I could have easily said, I am not equipped to teach, I don't have a teaching credential?  Easy, Done, there was my easy way out.

I believe this is what God is calling me to do, that I have a ministry right here in my home.  He knows the desire I have for my daughter, he knows that I want a loving relationship and not a strained relationship.  He has put me in a situation to be able to do this, with an open and supportive husband and I feel he will equip me with everything I need to make it a successful journey and a blessing to our family. 

Would you believe me if I said that I have already seen signs of our relationship changing??  YES I have!!!!!  It is like she is on my side now.  We are a team, she wants to help, she is stepping up to the plate, AMEN.

Thank you Jesus, for bringing us to this.
