My blog post is up on A Mommy Talks

Like the first chapter, this one convicted me several times. Some of the convictions lead to a feeling of inadequacy, but as I kept reading I came across this, “God will take WHAT YOU HAVE to give and multiply it” (pg 55). Praise God!

    Just wanted to check in – I finished reading the first chapter and hope to catch up. I’m a home schooled kid grown up now and married to another home schooled kid. With that kind of back ground we just always planned on doing the same for our children. This chapter made me realize that teaching my children was a great desire in my heart, it was not a thought out conviction. I had taken this path of life because for me, it was almost default. Granted, we still want to do this and plan to continue in that direction, but it was good to think about the reasons behind this choice.

    Don’t feel like you need to play catch up. There’s great stuff to soak in and I don’t want you to miss any of it. There’s not to much talking going on here, so feel free to share your thoughts as you go. I’ll be glad to discuss even if we aren’t on the same chapter. You can post to the newest thread or the thread for the specific chapter you read. I’m just glad to have some one joining me. 😉

    Response to your thoughts…
    I think I would have to say ditto. Desire is what lead us down the homeschooling path, but desire only gets us started. The 1st chapter made it clear that I have to be firmly planted if I’m going to be successful. I have to be prepared for the arrows that may fly my direction. I have to be completely dependent on God. If God has called me to this mission field, He will get me through it. Chapter one was just a reminder to me that it won’t be easy, I will have to sacrafice a lot, but the eternal treasures will be worth it.

    Thanks so much for joining in Amy! I look forward to discussion threads!

    So were you home schooled as a child? Or why did you desire to home school in the first place? I’m just always curious to see why people choose to do this, especially if it’s a break with what they knew growing up.

    I was not homeschooled. The thing that sparked the desire I suppose was my experience teaching elementary in the public schools. It is nothing like when I was a child. So many kids have grown up way too fast and I wanted to protect my kiddos innocence, but as my husband looked into it more and more we both knew without a doubt that homeschooling was the best thing for our kiddos. I can’t remember the book that we read, but it basically illustrated how Jesus created disciples. He walked with them and taught them. When they were ready to “leave the nest” he sent them in pairs. How could I send my son out into the world before his foundation was firm and on top of that alone.
