New Direction

Over the last several years my passion for homeschooling has dwindled, mostly out of my own selfish ambitions. I've felt overwhelmed and discouraged. Day after day I've felt like a wandering pilgrim. I knew what destination I wanted to arrive at but didn't know how to get there. Or maybe I did know how to get there but the path seemed too difficult, too steep to climb, too rocky to safely manuever . Perhaps its because by nature I'm a rebel and I constantly find myself in the flesh bucking against the leadership of my husband.

I thank GOD for His grace. I don't understand it. I just know I need it. Without God's love and grace and forgiveness I am nothing. Nothing.

So I return to the path. A difficult one for sure. But the one I know our family is called to. I want to instill a genuine love of learning in my children. I want to Explore. Be awed by His marvelous world. I want to restore the wonder of creation. I want to read together. Pray together. Live together. I want to listen to the Spirit. And most importantly I want to love. Love our amazing God, each other and those around us. This is a meaningful, well lived life. I pray, by God's grace it is ours.
