Waiting.

We all struggle with waiting. So often the anticipation of what may —or may not— be coming fills us with worry and anxiety. In Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia, he references patience (or forbearance) as part of the fruit of the Spirit. In all things, God wants us to be patient and wait for His timing and plan.

Here at Firmly Planted Family, we are very familiar with waiting. As we build and grow, we are constantly waiting for finances, permits, people, and resources. We pray daily that God would provide for the things He has called us to do. Sometimes the waiting can be excruciating. But through waiting, we have the opportunity to practice patience, trust God, and allow Him to increase our faith. 

It’s so encouraging to me that patience is the fruit of the Spirit. It literally comes from God. When we feel anxious and impatient, we know we can turn to the Lord and find supernatural help to wait and be patient. 

Please join us in praying for the provisions that are needed at Firmly Planted Family. This spring semester has brought a significant increase in enrollments, and we are striving to keep up with the expanding demand.

We invite you to join with us in praying for the 110 tutors who are helping students and parents with academic and spiritual support. Be praying for the expansion and repairs for our building and property–finishing our sports field, repairing HVAC units, building out the warehouse classrooms and planning for a new roof.

It is such a joy to have a community of families growing and worshipping the Lord with all God has given us!  Isn’t He good? The Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center is teeming with life and joy for the Lord. We are thrilled that you are a part of this community!
