I haven't much time. It is 9am and I have just woke up. The children are still sleeping, except for my early bird, he wakes at the break of dawn. Personally I enjoy getting up earlier. I like waking up before the rest of the house wakes up when its still dark outside. However with a new baby and lack of sleep this doesn't happen. To be honest I haven't had a time of peace like this since before I was pregnant. You know I home school. God has given me the great privilege to teach our children at home. This is a great privilege. My children deserve the best. It was quite amusing how we came to this decision to home school. A year ago I would have laughed heartily, and deeply, if you told me I would have been homeschooling my children. Well, what God has in store you just don't know sometimes. We started going to this church the one we belong to now and three family's home schooled their children. These were average looking children. Most of the time when you see a home school family (at least when I was a child) they were a little off. You know the kind. Children dressed as is they lived in the early 1900's. They were so obedient it was as if they were aliens. And the parents glared at you as if they had ultimate control and were really from the pits of well you know. The families from my church were not like this. At first my son started having problems in class. He doesn't learn the same as other children and he had to go to LD classes. They were pulling him out 4 to 5 times a day. Then they would send him work from his regular class that he was hardly ever in. He is not less intelligence than other children. He just can't keep his mind focused long enough. So in January with the prompting of God and the grace of Jesus we decided to home school. My teenage soon having problems at school. She wanted to be brought home too. SO school starts soon. We will begin September 10, so late because of the new baby.
I often wonder why God wanted me to home school my children. I just don't feel so qualified for the task. however with the downfall of American schools I would much rather have them home.
Dear Father
please give me whatever it may be that I need to teach these children. Things such as a sound mind, a peaceful heart, kindness, intelligence, love, patience, stamina, energy, and a keen ear to hear your voice. 'In Jesus name amen.
