Whole-Life Curriculum, Are You Using Yours?

Dear Friend,

I remember when the Lord spoke to my heart to lay down my schooling efforts for a season and just watch my children—really observe them and their play, their interactions, and how they were connecting to real life and how they were learning. Over the following months He opened my eyes to see so many wonderful, rich, and vital learning activities going on. My kids were using and enjoying the “curriculum” of our real lives, and what’s more they were also maturing spiritually and relationally. I knew I had been doing some things right to cause growth, but I couldn’t see the fruit very well through the burdens of artificial schooling activities I had been wrapped up in for six years. I had still been placing too much value on fruitless cultural standards, and the Lord wanted me to see where the true fruit growing in my children was coming from—the relational training and wisdom I was imparting to them as God parented me. My children were being truly educated, and I was set free into a lifestyle of learning that would continue to promote my family’s whole-life education!

Have you ever taken the time to really get to know your children? The Lord wants to help you to meet their true needs. You can begin to note the good things that are currently happening in your family; God wants to give you wisdom for nurturing your budding fruit more fully. Also notice the areas where you know your relationships are in need of work (including your own responses); this is where the Lord wants to help you to address your concerns. As you spend your summer getting to know your family more, allow the Lord to speak to your heart His promise of help, then come September you’ll have your new life “curriculum” assignments straight from the heart of God.
