Staying in God's Flow

In the realm of the spirit things are moving fast and frequent!  If you aren't tuned in to the frequency of the Lord you are certain to miss something.  In my life I am ever changing in the Lord..Daily!  I believe if your paradigm doesn't change you are not in the will of God!  We can always do better, get closer to God, praise more, reach higher, pray more, give more, complain less and the list goes on and on....   And none of this in a striving way but a consistent gain so to speak.

For quite some time now I have felt the nudging of the Lord to change the name and the feel of my blog.  This nudge became a lot stronger recently,  so to stay in the will of God I am revamping my whole blog.  This will not be a fast change, but most likely a slow little by little change.  Cause I am a busy momma and this is not my top priority by any means.

I am beyond excited to see where God is taking me with this and I am willing and able to follow His will for my life in every area.  So hopefully you will all stick around to see the new and improved formerly known as "Kingdom First Homeschool"{sigh} now "Seeking Kingdom First" in full effect for the Glory of God.  Came about the name quite easily...lol!  It is our motto in everyday life not just homeschool!  God Bless!

For His Glory,

Your Will.. Not Mine

My father, Lord of all, that has anointed me and nourished me with Your word to do Your will and walk in Your way. Thank You for blessing us with another day to share Your love and Your light with all who are willing to accept it and allow it to overtake them. 

Holy Spirit lead me into all truth this day and everyday.  Fill me with You and empty me of myself.  Help me to keep my eyes fixed on the throne and not to look, to the right or to the left, but to be set like flint on Your call in my life. 

Father remove every distraction the enemy brings forth and all the little foxes that try to intervene with our love.  Unlock all of Your mysteries that are already alive in my Spirit, but allow my soul to know them too. 

Father let Your anointing to flow like a river through, to and from me.  I want to freely give Your healing, love and wholeness as it has been given of me.  Use me for Your mighty works.  I give Your Holy spirit complete control of my will to line up with Yours.

Allow every work that I do for you to prosper abundantly and speedily.  Bring forth Your ministry in it's fullness of You.-  Fan the Fire Ministries.  You said it Yourself this is a God ordained ministry, ordained wholly by You.  This ministry has been set apart for only Your purposes. Use this ministry for Your MIGHTY WORK! Use this ministry to crush every plan of  satan to steal, kill and destroy Your beautiful children! Let Your awesome will be done.  All for Your Glory.

I set a heavenly seal upon this prayer that it comes forth suddenly in the name of Jesus.-amen

Your daughter,

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

 because he hath anointed me 

to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives

 and recovering of sight to the blind,

 to set at liberty them that are bruised,"

Luke 4:18

Little Hearts For His Glory~18-19

 

So we have had a VERY busy 2 weeks of lessons.  Although I didn’t manage to take any pictures:(  [I guess I just needed a break from my camera…lol]! 

Our LHFHG lessons  over these two weeks covered a lot -- Stephen getting stoned for talking about Jesus, and the realities of what Christians before us had to go through so that we could have the freedom to share Jesus freely today.  We talked about the kind woman Dorcas who helped the poor, that when she died Peter prayed and God raised her from the dead…Amazing!

We learned how the cruel King Herod killed Christians because the Jewish leaders didn’t like them, but really they were jealous and threatened by them.  Next Peter was in prison and freed by an angel. Paul and Silas were put in prison for preaching the gospel, this is one of my favorite history stories, I just thought it was amazing how God SHOOK the place and all the doors fell off and the chains were broken off of the prisoners, then the prison guard thought that they had all escaped so he was just getting ready to take his own life and Paul yelled no don’t harm yourself we are still here and then they prayed with the man and he got saved!  Glory to God!  We learned a lot more about other martyrs and the hardships of the Christians before us and the miraculous and wonderful ways God moved through the early years of the church.

Also during these two weeks we had a snow day we built a snowman and a snow fort AND the girls started Karate which is 3 times a week and they are loving it. We are taking a short break from gymnastics, but they will be starting again in March. 

Jasmine’s reading has been moving slowly and honestly I don’t want to go through the long HOP program with her like I did Jada.  It is just so slow and long and really unnecessary.  So I ordered The Reading Lesson which I heard of through Jessica over at Our Family For His Glory.  We purchased the book and the cd rom which was downloadable and has animated games and activities that coincide with each lesson. Also we have been moving through All About Spelling together, which is challenging because Jada and Jasmine are on two different levels, but we have tweaked and they are moving side by side…yay! 

That was our 2 week catch-up.  Always remember if you put God first in everything you do it will always turn out better than if you hadn’t.  He wants to be involved in your homeschool and will bless you and bring you to new heights through Him.  Don’t try to make your class a carbon copy of someone else’s class or put pressure on yourself to teach like they do in the school systems. God has a plan…Remember why you are homeschooling let go and let GOD!    Be sure to connect with me via GFC or Google+, You can also find us on Facebook or Twitter.  Leave a comment and I’ll connect back!Have an amazing weekend and week ahead.
