@Overcomer weariness...yes!!
The home ed register simply reminds of the forced Jewish register by the Nazis: government officials, neither trained nor skilled, having the legal right to enter any private home at will, with no recourse - not even our Police service can do that - and forcing children to school if they feel like it on a whim
Still, your post encouraged me greatly and was perfectly timed for me, because it followed two other posts I've seen elsewhere which got me to DO something
And that SOMETHING is my first Andy B 2 Minute Video since taking a short break frok filming... I'll tag you later today when I've edited and uploaded it
It's my [15 minute, special edition] response to what I've seen in the world of late!
We either get frantic in a rocking chair, and make no progress. Or Jump off and start actually making progress again!
The enemy comes to slow us into inactivity...as believers that worry and anxiety needs to push us in to action, be that prayer or whatever
This scripture was brought to mind as I awakened this morning. May your heart take courage.
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves." Malachi 4:1-2

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 😠
10 years ago they tried, and failed...I don't see it failing this time

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing today, still you can pray for #Afghanistan.
Mothers, daughters, sisters, pregnant, weak and many who are sick- all may trust in God and seek His face. Praying for Good Samaritans all along the way!
@Olamide @MaryMamuzich Universal phenomenon !
It's easy to stay in a place where you are welcomed and invited. And the Presence of God is really that place! He planned you, invited you and celebrates when you come to Him. He paid the price for you to come. Do you know that He always love when you come to Him? Do you really know? He wants you to know, you are very precious to Him.
Do we need more reasons to pray for the spiritual deliverence of #Tibet ?

"Living Water" - Brother Yun
I believe the Western church is generally in the same condition as Martha. You know the truths about God's Word in your head, but you still like to run your own lives.
Like Martha, many Christians cry out, “Lord, if you had just done things according to our plans, we would never have ended up in such a mess.”
Friend, you need to realize that God is not at all interested in your plans. He is only interested in His plans!
So many churches and individual believers think they should make their own plans and strategies, then ask (or in some cases, command) God to bless them.
We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth
