@Overcomer @Cherishingsparrows2020 @tanjaostman very much so
There was a petition against it, online, which had enough people on it to force a response from yh government
On the surface it is do with illegal schools, and sounds almost pleasant
But, and it would take too long to type, we also know they have the power to deal with the illegal [Muslim] schools but refuse to name it as such, so are after ALL children in their homes...so much contradiction it gives you a headache...
@Overcomer @tanjaostman @Cherishingsparrows2020 regarding the US bit, I really don't understand the politics (don't get it for my own nation much) but it looks really bad from the various news sources I see...
Really glad I could be of some encouragement π
Somebody should overlay the 6 Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman "running effect" as she bolted away like a Bat Outta Hell!!!!π€π€ππππ
Hello friends! After a nice, long break from social media, I'm back and feeling very refreshed. Are you finding yourself exhausted in this season? Is this storm swamping you with stress? Read my current post to find some rest in the midst of it all. https://theovercomers.blog/2021/10/12/sleep-through-the-storm/
@Berrybunchfamily @tanjaostman @Cherishingsparrows2020 Andy, what a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing! It was a word I needed. I have really been struggling with distractions this year and not making the progress I want to make. Your voice and the way you talked about these highly stressful issues was so calming. I had to laugh when you wondered if the US was headed for a civil war! π I hope not, but the tensions are really high. Thanks again!
@Berrybunchfamily @Cherishingsparrows2020 @tanjaostman Yikes! Thank you for explaining in detail. Good info for prayer!
@Cherishingsparrows2020 @Overcomer @tanjaostman
Forcing parents to sign up to a mandatory register (like sex offenders currently so in the UK) so the government can then force access to your home to inspect you, your family and your children, using non trained, non skilled government staff, with no accountability deliberately built in so you can't complain at anything they do to your or your children - all in order to determine if you're good enough to educate your children at home, using standards that home educating families would never use
The usual excuse for it? Safeguarding
despite there being lots of evidence that it will cause harm to children, not help them
It is a disgusting attack on freedom of speech and democracy
Especially when the vast majority of home ed parents do so because state education failed their child...only to be inspected based on state education standards
It is sickening π
10 years ago they tried, and failed...I don't see it failing this time
@Berrybunchfamily Wow, sorry to hear of the home ed register... Sounds really scary! I am so happy to hear that you have made a video though... I'm looking forward to seeing it! π
@Berrybunchfamily Wow, my heart rejoices that this post was such a blessing to you! I'm glad to have you as a new follower and looking forward to reading your blog as well! I had not heard of the home education register the UK is implementing... I'm sorry to hear of the discrimination. I can relate to the weariness though. My husband and I are feeling tired from weathering this very long storm. I pray this time of fasting is a blessing for you and your wife. Being hungry is a challenge, but you are right that fasting is a special time with the Lord. Blessings to you and your family!
@Overcomer @tanjaostman this is a most excellent and timely post
Thankyou
Very happy to reblog it, and I have a new blog to follow to.
Yes my heart has been weary...so much strife in the world
For me, in the UK, the almost certainly imminent forced home education register is one I can't shake....it's sickening to watch that
I also know that that one isn't my fight, because I have other things God is asking me to do
And yet I've lost many nights sleep recently...
My wife and I are fasting and praying next week about a different issue we're facing, and while I'm hungry at just the thought of it (anybod else have that?!?) it is always a special time as we seek to draw nearer to God
Your post is the reason DingDash is the first thing I do each day...seeking encouragement and new situations to pray for

@tanjaostman Thank you for taking the time to read and share your concerns! I am struggling in very similar ways to you. I have also been stressed about the vaccines as I live on the West Coast of the US where the truth is being heavily censored. I have researched as well, and I'm grieved by all that's happening. I remind myself daily to focus on Jesus and look to his promises and what he says is true. I know how dire the situation is, but God is somehow working to turn this in our favor. I believe this agenda will fail and the Lord will save us from global tyranny. There is hope! β€
@Overcomer thanks for those encouraging words! π I know I need to implement those principles more in my own life. I've felt very stressed out, frustrated and discouraged the last two weeks, since Finland is planning covid passports, and they are already giving vaccines to 12-year-old children. Feels like living in a surrealistic movie. At the same time I read research that say that mass vaccination during a pandemic is contraproductive. Look at Israel and the Seychelles- the numbers of sick have skyrocketed. It has to do with an immunity reaction, among the vaccinated.
With new restrictions marching back in some places, political tensions high (at least in the US) and an uncertain future in front of us, what do we do? Worship! Read my latest post to be encouraged by a word I received from God. May you find the lifeline you need to carry you through the chaos with peace and joy. β€οΈπ https://theovercomers.blog/2021/08/20/worship-will-never-disappoint-you/
@sinbach π±
@MaineStreams Yes! I was laughing with him today! π
@sinbach I'm sensing a false flag coming soon... How about Sean Feucht's Let Us Worship event on the National Mall in DC on September 11th?! I would not be surprised if Antifa infiltrates and causes trouble. Since the feds have announced this "threat" ahead of time, they will feel justified in attempting to arrest Sean and other believers... Like January 6th all over again. They are trying to silence all opposition. Lord help us! πππ
