Mom, Interrupted: Reframing Life’s Little Disruptions

Instead of trying to plan everything, have a little faith and show up for the life that is in front of you. Xavier Mouton Photographie on Unsplash

I’ve been reading a fantastic book,“Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unshakable Peace.” If you’re a homeschooler, this one needs to be on your bedside table.

In the book, author Sarah Mackenzie shares this quote by C.S. Lewis: “The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day; what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination.”
