Let me introduce myself!

Hi everyone,

I am a Mom of 3 wonderful children (don't we all say that!?) Daughter 13 Daughter 10 Son 8.  We live in western NY. We've been saved only 2 years.  My husband and I were saved just 2 months before our wedding. Yes I am divorced.  It is so wonderful to have our marriage centered in Christ!  Boy what a difference it makes.  I know I'm not perfect and never will be, but my Father loves me unconditionally.  NO matter what I did in the past I am forgiven.  3 years ago if someone were to tell me I would be a stay at home Mom, homeschooling my children I would of said you are crazy.  I had just graduated from college and had a wonderful job as a Paralegal.  As a matter of fact I did tell a couple of Homeschooling Moms they were crazy.  I could never do that.  Never say never when the Lord is in control.  How could I be "stuck" with my kids 24/7 I'd go crazy!  Well 2 years into homeschooling I love it!  I wouldn't have it any other way.  But let me tell you it wasn't without hesitation on my part.  I hadn't totally trusted the Lord that this was the what he was directing us to do.  It took a lot of nastiness on the public school part to get me to do it.  It came down to one of the administration saying to me "Well if you think you can do a better job...."  Well I said Yes i can!!  I have to say this is the first time I have finally fell in Love with my children.  Of course I have always loved them but it is a new kind of love that many of you have felt.  I am pleased to say that not only are my husband and I saved now, all 3 children are saved and know Christ as their personal savior!  They have all been baptized as well.  Watching them be baptized was like having them all over again.  The joy in my heart was overwhelming.  Even for my husband, we were both sobbing during the service.

We use many unit studies and some workbooks.  But the kids do not like workbooks.  They said they are boring, frankly they are for me too.  I'd rather have them on an adventure.  They are starting to like learning.  Our 13 yo is the normal teenager, everything is stupid and boring.  But she is getting better.  The younger 2 just love school now.  There is much more to the story which will come out with time.  I look forward to many many entries on here and hearing from people all over.

Welcome to the family of the KING, and welcome to homeschooling. You have a great attitude and you sound like a veteren! Yes, actually spending 24/7 with your kids can be enjoyable. I wish more people would try it. Have a great year!
