Homeschooling

Today I went with a friend to Classical Conversations session. As I sat there, I felt very inadequate. Not because of the school itself, but all the Mothers there seemed to have it all together when it comes to homeschooling. It kind of frustrated me! Can I really do this?

I have been thinking lately "why do I want to home-school ?" Besides the fact that I want to protect my kids from public school and its teachings, why? I've always wanted to be a teacher, that was my childhood dream, but I didn't think that was a good enough reason to home-school. So today after my nap, while still feeling inadequate, I told God how HE knows everything, English, grammar, geography, Latin, art, etc. Then it clicked! The same GOD that gives those Mothers confidence to teach their kids, is the same GOD that will help me to teach mine! I know right, big discovery! But really! IT was! So here's why I want to home-school: I want to grow spiritually, and I want my kids to see what's like to live a life where you re totally dependent on God.

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jeremiah 33:3).

Moments

Today I told my 4-year-old that when he get all done with school and gets big like Daddy, that he would leave home and go away for "grown up school" aka college. He started crying and said "I don't want to go away, I like you!!!"

Praise

About 2 months ago we watched an amazing video by Loui Giglio about "How Great Is Our God". It was breath taking to hear all the facts about some of the star MY God created, and He knows MY name!!!! 
That night our choir sang this song, and I just LOVE it! So here are the lyrics;


"How Great You Are"


A thousand sparkling stars upon a midnight summer sky,
the majesty and wonder of the ocean's endless tide.
And the more, I see the more I can't explain
how the One the set the world in place could even know MY name!
And I'm amazed, I'm so amazed,
How great You are, how small I am,
how awesome is Your might hand.
And I am captured by the wonder of it all.
And I will offer all my praise with all my heart for all ,y days.
How great You are, how great You are.
A million snowflakes gently fall, yet no two are the same.
The colors fill the canvas of the seasons as they change
And everywhere I look I see Your hand.
Why You would love someone like ME, I'll never understand!
