Homeschooling…
Most of you know that I am planning on Homeschooling fulltime next year.. (which is right around the corner) This is where I need all of my fellow homeschoolers to give me their best advice! I already have the curriculum for Easton and Elijah:
Easton:
Grammar - Wordly Wise
Language Arts - Daily Grams
Math - Saxon 65
Science - ABeka (Investigating Gods World)
History - ABeka (Old World History)
Reading - Chapter books with comprehension questions.
(We thought about doing ABeka Math with her, but she had Saxon Math last year and did so well with it so we decided to stick with it again this year.)
Elijah
Phonics - Worksheets
Grammar - Daily Grams
Math - Saxon 54
Reading - Abeka Readers
Art - Abeka Art Workbook (Art Projects 3)
History - ABeka (Our America)
Science ABeka (Exploring Gods World)
And they will be tutored on Tuesday and Thursday from 10-2 so that will make my life easier. Easton has Guitar lessons during the week and we are trying to get Elijah into Tae Kwan Do (if the instructor would ever call us back) We are part of a local homeschooling group, so that area is covered.
So, this is where you come in.
What do you wish you would have differently when you first started homeschooling? What do you regret? What is your fondest memory of homeschooling your child(ren)?
I’m sure there is more, but Emma is tearing up the living room so…..

Sovereignty..
If we trust in the sovereignty of God, we wrestle our way to peace in the knowledge that if an answer to prayer is for our highest good, the God who loves us will not withhold it
-Lana Batement
I have been thinking alot about Gods sovereignty lately. Like I wrote in my last post, I know He is sovereign still. Yet do I really believe that, really? Through this journey I have come to depend on Christ so much, and through that dependence on Him, I find that I am faced point blank with my own weakness. Even my own weakness of doubting His will and His sovereignty.
It comes back full circle.
However, I find that when I am unsure of which way to go or what to do… even when I think He has left me to my own demise, I was the one who turned away. I was the one who started doubting His perfect will for my life. I was the one who doubted my Savior.
He never doubts.
I find that, more so now then ever, I am wrestling my way to peace. I want so badly to be completely and undeniabley steadfast in my belief, yet it is a constant daily struggle to find Him.
Yet I dont stop searching.
When I dont feel Him, I seek Him even more. When I cant see Him in my circumstances, I pray even harder. When I feel lost, I know He will find me.
I am opened up until I can no longer feel resentment to my current situation.
Still it is a daily battle of my will vs. His sovereignty.
Yet I know His sovereignty will prevail every time.
God knows the whole story of your life because He is the author of your biography. He knows the last chapter, and He thinks you are wonderful…

He knows the story of your life and mine. Imagine that 
You are still Holy - Rita Springer
Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyesLord, I don’t deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your loveAnd so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
You are still holyHoly, You are still holy
Even though I don’t understand Your ways
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don’t changeLord, I don’t deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion
To YouAnd so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
We all belong to YouAnd so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I’m at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up ’til now
It belongs to You
We all belong to YouYou are still holy…
