As the Fincher Homeschool year looms larger on the horizon of my life, I'm feeling my motivation retreat. I've had such a fruitful summer! I've sewn some-- not as much as I'd hoped... ;) I've done some SERIOUS remodeling in my house. But if you've been reading my blog much, you know that already. Here's the problem. School is so RESTRICTIVE for me! I have to devote half of my day to teaching four different grades at once! I feel like it literally sucks the LIFE out of me! =P And at the same time, I wouldn't trade teaching my children for a more open schedule-- most of the time. ;)
So I've been struggling the last couple of weeks, as I work us toward our school routine, to lasso my errant motivation. I've had more success some days than others. Today has started well, but I am weak & I tend to fall apart at the first obstacle. It's like I've said before: "I'm a work in progress."
He's Still Workin' On Me~ hymn
There really ought to be a sign upon my heart
Don't judge [her] yet, there's an unfinished part
But I'll be perfect just according to His plan
Fashioned by the Master's loving hands
He's still working on me
To make me what I need to be
It took him just a week to make the moon and stars
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars
How loving and patient He must be
'Cause He's still workin' on me
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Hebrews 12:1-3
