Following Ones Heart?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 (this is something I need to remind myself of over and over!) Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Jeremiah 17:7



Just now I am showed a Blessing in following the LORD. Homeschooling is challenging and my "heart" could lead me away from it. (you know things like---the children need more or better-that would be ME and not the Lord talking) so the Blessing GOD showed me was listening to my just turned 2 year old counting! i know he doesn't "get it" but he is learning without being away from "the home".
I am reminded of this verse when thinking of family size also! That's another big one for me. I would love to hear ways that this verse helps guide you, also.

Embracing Your Sacred Calling

What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the postition and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow.
----Martin Luther (taken from the Passionate Housewives Desperate for God)

For today,

I don't want much, Just to go the bathroom- ALONE! At least once. With nobody asking my a question. No one coming to me crying. No body wanting to eat! And not having to break-up any "disagreements" between siblings.
Now, that doesn't seem like to much to ask for. How do I get privacy? If I shut the door, everyone is knocking and baby crying. If I try to sneak off, they all start looking for me and yelling. Then, I answer, and it's all over, I have been found!
Enough of my rants for today. Any tips on mommy going to the bathroom while dealing with little ones would be helpful! ~Good Day!
