Apr. 11, 2006 - Home Stretch Now
With testing behind us, I can see the
finish line! Just two more months to go (roughly) to fulfill our
172 day obligation to the state.
I have made the decision to continue with a very abbreviated lesson
schedule during the summer consisting of 20 to 30 minutes 2 to 3 times
a week. We'll do mainly review of concepts learned over the
school year. And of course, we'll continue to frequent the
library and check out books and educational videos. Good thing my
kiddos like to watch those...I don't have to force them to sit and
watch!
I got a new bumper sticker for my car. I ordered it online and it
took FOREVER to get here. It reads "HOMESCHOOLING: The SAFE
Alternative." I am hoping that somewhere, sometime, it catches
someone's eye and just makes them think. Plants a seed.
That's how I see myself right now, a gardener for God.
I am not yet ready to be an outspoken witness to my faith or my choice
to homeschool, and I think God is letting me know that this is
okay...that He has bigger plans for me later but for now, I am a seed
planter, and I am to live so others can see His love coming through me
and yearn for that for themselves. I feel I have a long way
to go. Sometimes I don't think I am doing a very good job for
God, but I'm always trying.

We have to report 180 days to our state...and we would do the same activities in the summer that you are doing, just last year we started h.s. year around with breaks of a week or two every couple of months.
I like your Gardening for God, I saw one a few days ago on here as I was random blogging that said, this was her investement, not the stock market not the 8 hour a day job, her children are her investment. Of course it was stated much better than that.
Oh, one more thing, kinda funny, we have a bumper sticker on my dh truck that reads 'We Suport Publick Edukation" all misspelled.
Take care! |
