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. ❤️🙌 https://theovercomers.blog/2021/08/20/worship-will-never-disappoint-you/
@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

@Berrybunchfamily @Overcomer @tanjaostman what is the home education register?
@Berrybunchfamily @Cherishingsparrows2020 @tanjaostman Yikes! Thank you for explaining in detail. Good info for prayer!
@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...
@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 😠
10 years ago they tried, and failed...I don't see it failing this time
