33 more days, I can't do this, but He can!

I've been feeling a bit discouraged in the teaching department lately. We are almost through our first year of home-schooling but not without lots of sweat and tears. Our oldest is extremely strong willed and never forgets to tell me how much he hates school. I think tell him to suck it up, well all had to do it, and he doesn't have a choice, and the battles are fought over and over again. I can't tell you how many times my poor husband has come home to me emotionally drained and temperamental from fighting a battle since 6AM. I can't even count the many times I have said to him "I give up, I can't do this". After speaking with 3 different people today for advice on what to do about my situation, it finally hit me during a conversation with my mother. I am trying to do this Crystals way, instead of doing it God's way. I know God has convicted me to teach my children, so therefore I know He will supply me with the strength to get through this. Obviously what I have been trying isn't working, so it's time to come up with something new. It's not time to give up, it's time to think out-side the box. It's time to spend the day on my knees digging into The Word instead of calling anyone I can think of to find help. I KNOW I CAN'T do this. But I know HE can, and it's Christ that lives within me and His will that will be done! 33 more days...He can do it!
