Who You Are

I heard this song for the first time today. It couldn't have come on a better day. I hope it helps someone else out there...

Who You Are - Hilary Weeks

I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day when the kids stay calm,
the laundry's done, and the dishes are put away. And sometimes you feel
like your days are spent and gone and the question running through your
mind is what have I gotten done? and when you finally have a moment to
slow down at the end of you day I know Father would say

Believe in what you're doing
Believe in who you are
Hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God
Believe in who you're becoming
Believe in who you are

It may seem simple - all the little things you do But the lives you touch
matter so much. And there's no one else like you. And Father needs you
to stand tall and faithful to be all you can be.Oh, if you could see what
he sees. When it's hard to believe in yourself and you feel like you're
beginning to doubt Remember

He believes in what you're doing
He believes in who you are
Don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God
That he believes in who you're becoming
He believes in who you are.

Chores

We get 'em started early around here...





Recently, we have started a chore chart with the kids. Let me tell you, they have done more chores since we began this chore chart than they have ever done. It's awesome! (You can get all the FREE printables at Confessions of a Homeschooler.com)
