In the six years we have been a home-educating family, we have seen the seasons of struggle and the seasons of tremendous breakthrough and victory, and this week we are so thankful to say it was one of tremendous breakthrough.

Things are just flowing for us, and it is so precious after months of striving.  I woke up each morning this week to see my daughter already up before me (which is very uncommon), and down in the homeschool room starting her work for the day! Can you see my HUGE grin right now?  It made my heart do multiple skips.  The first day I praised her and let her know how wonderful it was to seee her so committed to her learning time.  The second day . . . again, and third day . . again.  Each morning she would rise before me and start her studies.  It is so good to see my dd with a new hope, a new focus and new passion for learning - WOW!  PINCH ME PLEASE :-)

Okay so I am formulating some of the reasons this may be happening:

1) God is amazing and has heard my heart's cry and is now answering many prayers.
2) We have been going through each room of our home and organizing it and having everything in order, and now this organizational foundation is flowing into the homeschooling area also (when everything is in its place it is easier to focus on studies).
3) Daddy has been home in the mornings, and because of his involvement and presence in our morning life now, Pure One is responding.  (fathers' just have a way of influencing their daughters even if it is a gentle presence).

Whatever it is . . . I am just so thankful things are lining up and progress is being made.  These are the days when you just thank the Lord so much for homeschooling.  It was worth all the struggle to get here :-)

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thy heart,
And lean not upon thine own understanding:
In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
