About Me "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it"... Proverbs 22:6 Hello. I'm Christy and I am blessed to be the wife of a wonderful, God-fearing man as well as the mom of four great children. In our family, learning is not about 'filling a bucket', but it's about 'lighting a fire'! We sincerely desire for our children to love to learn, and that's why we homeschool. Training our children's hearts, not just their minds, is the single most important thing we can do for them. Instead of just telling them what to do and what not to do, we explain to them WHY they should or should not do something. THAT is what will, over time, train their hearts and help them live their lives full of integrity and honor. Nothing we could ever teach them from a book will serve them better throughout their entire lives than those things we teach them from THE Book, God's divine word.
