Bridges of Faith

I am in a Bridge of faith right now.  It is a bridge I closed down many years ago.  God wants me to take this huge leap and I am really scared to jump.  I went to a Tent Revival tonight at church.  It has given me the strength to write this blog entry and admit to it. I will cross My bridge. It will be difficult but, I will spend some time there learning how to cross it slowly and enjoy the view. I will leave you will this final thought--  I read The Life as a Mom blog.  She says this about Bridges:
Your Bridge
You may be on a bridge. You may be climbing a big, steep mountain. You may be venturing into a frightening valley.
Whether this is a pleasure trip or not, God is there to sustain you, to guide you, to walk with you along the way. It may be a bucket-list kind of adventure, like mine.
It may be a journey that you never asked for — and wish you could turn back from. It may pull you into “survival mode” when really all you want to do is “life as normal.”
But, it is a season. And you will survive. 

Graduation 2011

I am finally rested what a weekend!  My daughter graduated on Saturday at our Homeschool co-op with 4 other kids, high school and 8th grade graduation.  The  speech was awesome.  Both my daughter and I cried. She talked about how much credit she gave to her parents who homeschooled her and how much they sacrificed for her.   As I started this journey six years ago, I would have never imagined the fruits God has given me. Many people who I once was friends with have walked out of lives.  But many more awesome friends have stayed for the journey with us.  I have met amazing people through this journey. Some have become our closest and dearest friends and I love you.  You all know who you are. As a family we have grown closer to God.  The education my daughter has received has far surpassed the education she would have ever got in a school.  Schools no longer has the classical education our children are receiving.  I truly give Kolbe Academy in Napa Valley, CA alot of the credit.  They have shown us how God truly works through this type of education.  Our journey will continue into high school with them.  I am very proud of my daughter as she has become an independent learner.  Her walk with God is truly amazing to watch.  I so wish at her age I was so foundational in my faith like she is.  God Bless the Class of 2011!

Graduation is almost here

I  am posting this for those of you who read my blog.  This week will be crazy, so there won't be any posting until next Sunday after I recuperate from the graduation festivities. I will be writing alot of interesting blogs in the coming weeks so please watch out for the posting. 


God Bless!

High School Decision

God is awesome!!!  He gives you answers when you least expect it.  After looking through many programs and even looking to make my own transcript.  We decided to go with Kolbe Academy.  They give me the flexibility I need to choose, while they can do the transcript and recording work.  Due to my new business starting up soon and starting my writing career up again, this was the best decision for all of us.  No program or way is without pros and cons, but this one works for us.  We can still home school with the flexibility we have for the past 6 years.

We finished Rome.

Finally finished Rome.  It was an interesting journey since we read The Lost Hero through visit there. We used our unit study approach along with The Famous Men of Rome by Memorial Press.  We are off to the Middle Ages next.  The Famous Men of Rome is an awesome book that you could use just that to visit Rome through History.  It is such an a thorough method of teaching about Ancient Rome and what we should learn from that empire.  We are off to the Middle Ages next.  God bless you all.  Stay cool from this heat.
