September ’09 – Letter To The Parents

Ever notice when a child learns to climb, they will climb on anything and everything? They have full confidence that what they climb will hold them secure. Indeed, they need the various objects to challenge and strengthen their growing minds and muscles. Unfortunately a few tumbles are taken before caution is exercised. :)

As you begin this homeschool year, consider where your confidence rests. Is it in the Lord and His sufficiency or in the curriculum you’ve purchased? Is the curriculum needed? Of course! But it is the Lord who directs the paths of men and it is His mercy that sees us through each day.

Jeremiah 17:7 & 8
“But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Whatever this year holds, may you find yourself taking confidence in Him.
