This week at The Homeschool Village we are going to chat History - you're personal history! When did homeschooling touch your timeline? Did you know you'd be a homeschooler at conception, or like me ... you had never considered it (and was talked into it by your spouse)? Did someone help you get started?
I knew when I was pregnant w/ our 1st child that God made it VERY clear to me to quit my job and stay at home. As he grew and we had another child I was amazed how fast time went by and how badly I didn't want to miss any part of their life. The more and more I learned about our local public schools and as a Christian I knew it wasn't for our family. I had considered homeschool but it made me nervous but when God blessed me by brining a great person and really good friend of mine into my life, April at Our Hope is in the Lord she encouraged me greatly and I felt as if God spoke through her to me that this is what He wanted my ministry to be. Prior to meeting April I was uneducated about homeschooling but the more and more I learn the more I know this is what God wants for my family. I am very blessed to have close friends, our homeschool group and blog friends were I find encouragement and direction from! Look at these guys........... I don't want to miss even a second of their young life!
I currently homeschool my 5 year old, 3 year old & do Montessori with my 16 month
PLUS here is our future homeschooler!
You have a lovely story of how God worked in your heart! Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day! ;)

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from the homeschool blog hop - I love your blog! And we have a lot in common - my husband & I have been married for 8 wonderful years, I had 2 boys, 1 girl, and am expecting our 4th and last baby boy in January! And of course, I homeschool. :) I look forward to getting to "know" you better! You've got a new follower! :) ~Erika
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that God always knows what we need in order to accept what he has in store for us! Cute family!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story! I, too, have a friend that introduced me to homeschooling. I love hearing how God does things or brings people into our lives to show us. :) Have a blessed day!

I loved your story of how you were led to homeschooling! I can relate totally to not wanting to miss a second of your children’s lives. My children grew up before I knew it, but I’m SO thankful that I was able to spend so much time with them through homeschooling. Not only was it the best education for them, but it made us so much closer as well.
