Feb. 15, 2006 - Way of Life!

I could hardly wait to have children. Most couples are blessed right away within a year or two with babies. For whatever reason God had my husband and I wait for ten years before we were allowed to have children.

While waiting for our children, my husband and I researched education. We knew we wanted something different for our babies. We researched the educational backgrounds of our heroes in history. We remembered what we liked and disliked about our education. We planned. We waited. We prayed for our children.

Finally the day did arrive when we learned we were going to have our first child! Excitement was extreme. Our families in another state actually held a party even though my husband and I were unable to attend.

Every step of the way, we enjoyed the true blessing of having a child. It would take another three (3) years before we were allowed to have a second child.

Wanting the best for our children, we opted to homeschool. What a joy! We were able to be excited with our children when they read their first word, did their first science experiment, wrote their first book report, and many other first!

By being a homeschooling mom, I was able to enjoy each of my daughters' educational achievements and advances along with their failures. Not only have I been able to bond with my children spiritually and emotionallly, but intellectually!

I am very proud of my older daughter that has graduated from homeschooling even though I miss the intense educational intellectual bonding we experienced when I was homeschooling her. I'm cherishing my homeschooling time with my younger daughter even more realizing that I only have a short period of time before she, too, graduates homeschooling.

I am so grateful to my Lord that He allowed me to live at this time, in this country, to have my husband, to be blessed with my children and be allowed the honor of being a homeschooling mom.

Yours in His service,
Beverly
