I am hoping to start my year of homeschooling this week. After a year in a more traditionally structured school (though only 3 days a week), we are coming home for the next year. I am excited but nervous at the same time! I have spent several months listening to different people who have opinions about how I should school my children. I have also read and read blogs and web sites and done so much research and planning that my head is spinning. The problem with this is I am setting myself up for discontentment and anxiousness- enough other opinions to sew discord in my heart. There is no one who can tell me exactly how it should go- everyone has different circumstances, so when I compare my situation to others, it sets a marker that I may not be able to reach or even want to reach. The only absolute is to seek the face of my God and have Him to lead me through this journey. That sounds very abstract, especially to this concrete and practical brain! But, I know that if I commit all that I do to Him, He will make my paths straight. Now that's an opinion and standard that I can attain! As I begin homeschooling again, I pray that He will remain the center of our school but most importantly our hearts so that we can teach and learn with utmost confidence- knowing that He is the principal of our school and He will lead the way!

Me blog?

I have hesitated to blog so far. I feel guilty not doing it- everyone else is! I just wonder if there is anything that I can say that anyone else would really want to read!! This said, I hope that this blog will inspire you to greater heights at home and in your homeschool, after all, if I can do it, anyone can!!
