Day one done. I read Genis 1 & 2 a d Matthew 1. My schedule didn't work as I wanted it to. I watch two brothers regularly, but the last two days I also kept 3 out of the 5 of friends kids while their house was being packed. I also was watching a 9 year old boy, too. Our morning started off running and I didn't really feel I had time to sit and focus on reading until tonight. Tomorrow we have a field trip 2 hours away, so I'll get my reading on most likely in the early evening or late evening.
Either way, I am in God's word!

Being Accountable
Accountability comes from the Lord. We are all accountable to the Lord, if you're a believer, you should know this. The Lord calls us to be accountable to one another, as well as to Him. Unbelievers, well they (you, if you're reading this) may not grasp that you WILL be held accountable to the Lord, when you die, and lets face the facts, you're accountable to others while you walk this Earth.
I need to be more accountable to the Lord and being IN HIS word daily, actually multiple times a day. Starting tomorrow, I will start my day in HIS word. I want my day to start focused on Him. I want to take a moment mid-day, and get back into his word, and end my day in His word. I have lost focus, I have been dismissive, I've been selfish, thinking that a couple times a week, if that, was all I had time for. The reality is, nothing I do in this life, is more important than walking with the Lord. Nothing is more important than having HIS word written across my heart. Nothing is more important than showing my children, that being in God's word is important.
I have started tonight, reading in Isaiah. I want to let God's word dwell on my heart. I want HIS conviction on my heart. I need to be in His word, to remind me who I am in HIM.
I want to include my children in this. Homeschooling over the years, I've started off well at the beginning of our school years, and then slowly things drop off, and unfortunately our time in God's word is one of them, so starting next week, that's going to change.
I need to find a balance in our life and I know that the Lord will provide the necessary changes we need as mom and teacher. So what I'm asking you is to pray for me, for one. Keep me accountable 2. I want to start blogging daily, to share what I'm reading. Tonight I'm going to find a bible reading app, to help guide me, and one for the kids. The morning reading, I may do 2 actually, one just for me, to set the tone for ME and then another for the kids to set the tone for all of them. The mid-day one will get me over the hump of the mid-day, and finish our school day well, and set the tone for our evening, and the night reading will help me focus on the day, and bring me to the end of my day and sleep.
Well, with that, I'm heading to bed, and will share at some point the various readings I read and prayed over and what I learned. (I'll start with my kids next week).
