Home Education

There are so many options for school.  Home school.  School at home via a virtual charter school.  Brick and mortar charter school.  Private school.  Public school.  Who knew there were so many options?  In the end, each family has to decide for itself what is best.  It's great to live in a place with so many options.  It can be overwhelming. 

Our season of home schooling has come to an end.  I had to grieve the decision at the same time trusting God to lead the way.  And that is what all the options and choices boil down to-Trusting God to lead the way, and letting Him.

Lol, I don't even know what to say about homeschooling.  I am a product of public school including public/state universities.  Homeschooling is not something I EVER thought I would be doing.  It's not that I was opposed to it, it's more like I never even thought of it-it never occurred to me.  It was outside the realm of my awareness.  We are not "accidental homeschoolers" folks who didn't like their school or whose child had some problems (behavioral, bullying, struggling with learning) that couldn't be addressed in a traditional classroom setting.  


When we first started tossing the idea around-I was like "not that we'd really do that, but if we did, it could help________".  And I knew that God was moving and working when my husband (also a product of public schools) agreed to consider it and look into it with me.  What?!?  So that's what we did, and for our family in this season of our life homeschooling is precisely what we do.  Following God is truly an adventure.  If you can trust Him and follow His lead into the scary/unknown, you will not be disappointed!  God is the ultimate Creator and author of amazing adventures and drama.

Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are away on a journey, when you are lying down and when you are getting up again. Deuteronomy 11:19 

Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it.

Proverbs 22:6
