SNOW!!!!

Yesterday was the first snowstorm of the season. How funny is that we are at the end of February and it is our first real snowstorm. The kids had a ball. We had half day of school and went out to enjoy the snow and then they wrote in their nature journals for science. They had so much fun--they were drenched when they came in. I am still fighting whatever I have so I could only watch from the door. I was not a happy camper. I love playing in the snow with them. Praise God I am feeling so much better.

Joyfully Praising Him,

My journey in Faith

Our journey is laid before us if we only look closely. My journey of homeschooling started there. I homeschooled our children in preschool thinking it was the best thing for them. And then I sent them to school. God always kept showing me opportunities where homeschooling was the better choice. I use the analogy he threw pebbles into the water to get my attention to it. One day he threw a boulder so I looked and saw what needed to be done. We finally took them out of school, I felt this sense of relief and being terrified at the same time. I had taught. I was a teacher for many years. All of sudden I realized this immense responsibility I had overtaken. As the year progressed, it was pure joy and love. It took awhile but I had my children back again. The school system somehow hardens them. My daughter loves being homeschooled. She will tell the best thing she loves are the trips and learning to cook. My son will tell you the best thing he loves is doing his work on the floor and playing games. I love just seeing the joy in there eyes and really enjoying learning again.
