It is amazing to me how much little one's need their routines. It seems they thrive best when on a regular schedule. Honestly, one of the blessings that has come from becoming a mom is that my life is now on a routine. I didn't have that before. Now, I will admit it can get a little boring sometimes. I even have to switch it up at times so I can stay productive. But for the most part I think having a routine and sticking to it is good for adults as well. I believe your routine has to fit your personality and the personality of your child. Having a daily routine has been a God-send for myself and my daughter. Even though my daughter is in school 2 days a week, I still do a homeschool curriculum with her, when she is home and I am still toying with the idea of homeschooling. I think she would do well, I just don't know if I would survive it. We are moving soon and I don't have a new preschool lined up yet, so maybe this will be an opportunity to see if homeschool is a "go" or a definite "no".
When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well. I burn out pretty fast. When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better. Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well. When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day. It helps me to not get "caught up" I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up. Noah is home from school, not feeling very well. I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
