week one down! :)

Wow, time is flying! This year we are homeschooling! Crazy right? I thought so too, just a few years ago even. As I had kids, I was like, "wow, that's great that some moms can do that, but me? NO WAY EVER!" Well, last February, God laughed at me. He started convicting me, He sent several people into my life that talked about homeschooling, just brief blurbs, nothing sustaining and nothing too serious. Well, shortly after the week where 5-6 people came to me talking about homeschooling, I was reading in Proverbs (I was reading a proverb a day, for a month, great plan by the way, there is SOOOOO much you can learn in Proverbs and Psalms!) and I can to Prov 22:6 and it reads, "train up your child in the Way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." It doesn't say, send them off to school. Or raise the children of the village. It says YOUR child. MINE MINE MINE when I read it. Also in Deuteronomy, it tells us to teach our children! Wow, can you say convicted? God's promise to me was that if I relied on him through this experience, He would teach Jaiden through me, that He would hold my hand through the easy days, and carry me through the hard times!

Anyways, He has done just what He promised me. I've felt Him all week! And, Jaiden and I managed to get through our first week of school without screaming at each other!
