Homeschooling

So I'll say this... I never planned on homeschooling. This was not my intent or my plan. I never wanted to homeschool. I only wanted to send my children to a school that would love them as much as I did. Care for them like I did and teach them how to survive in the real world. However, that's not what God had in store for my babies nor for me. God wanted us to grow and learn together. Everything I wanted for them to get from a public school, they get from me. They are cherished and loved. They are taught well, and above everything else, they are taught about God! I cant imagine them being with anyone else, I cant imagine them being loved by anyone else, and to be frankly honest, I am selfish and enjoy watching them push a nugget of fact into their hearts and brain to take seed and grow! I am thankful that I got nothing that I asked for but everything I needed. I am blessed that I get to see truth develop and watch them learn and grow! I am blessed that we get to spend their formative years together and that the highlight of their growing days will be memories that will be cherished with love, discipline, order, chaos, laughter, silliness, smiles, tears, books, and God! I am grateful that God loved us enough to let the idea of homeschooling take root in my heart and grow and grow and grow until it was a life of its own. I often say that I never planned to homeschool, but wouldn't change anything for it now! And that is truth. I WOULD GO THROUGH ALL OF THE GOOD DAYS, SAD DAYS, HARD DAYS, AND EASY DAYS JUST TO DO IT AGAIN.

And now I must go, because the school bell is ringing and I must gather little people from the land of recess!
