Proverbs 22:6

6 Train up a child in the way he should go;
   even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

God has blessed my husband and I 4 wonderful children.  God spoke to our hearts and a little over 9 years ago, we started homeschooling our oldest two at that time.  Several years later, God blessed us with two more children, 18 months apart.  We graduated our oldest from homeschooling last year and the younger two have been added to the schooling.  While it has been challenging at times, I do not regret us going on this journey with our children.  It was the path God had intended for us and we will continue this path until He says otherwise.  I wanted to share a few of the blessings that we get from homeschooling.  While I know I may not touch on them all,  these are the few that are on my heart today.

521.  Being able to be with my children

522.  Watching my childrens’ faces light up when they understand a new concept.

523.  Being able to go on field trips together as a family.

524.  Being able to read our bible in school.

525.  Being able to read about God in our school.

526.  Being able to pray in our school.

I hope you will join us by taking part in the Multitude Monday by visiting A Holy Experience!

Colossians 3:15-17

15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
