Confirmation

So I’m not crazy! Through this journey to decide whether to home school we have had our ups and downs. It has been a long process, especially for those who have had to listen to me. :) I think I finally get it! When I was at church tonight they was talking about how we need to open ourselves up to what God wants for us and not what we think we can do for God. Can I just say WOW!

When we were first introduced to the idea of home schooling we teetered back and forth with a lot of factors involved. But both of our hearts said this is what we’re supposed to do! But we strayed away from it. Then we were so graciously, thanks to Renay, invited to what we now consider our church home and it all developed from there. To make a long story short…so I don’t bore you all. God had a plan and we just needed to listen. We ended up in a family group where there are a couple of families that are choosing home schooling. Can we say confirmation! And everything that was said tonight I believe was confirmation that we are doing what God wants! YAY!! I finally got it!

As I look back now I wonder why I let all those little things stop me from what I believed in. I am now…and will continue to be…excited for this journey!

I am starting my curriculum planning for this summer tomorrow!! Yes, I know its early, but I want to get prepared now because I’m not a very organized person. And I’m extremely excited!! I will be slowly ordering Masons curriculum over the next few weeks. If any one has any suggestions, and I mean ANY, I will gladly take them! :)

Ok…so I haven’t posted any pictures lately and thought I would follow up with some more sleeping ones!
