One Small Step of Faith...
...requires one enormous step of courage.
I am openin' up my blog to eyes previously avoided. I'm sharin' my blog addy with: FAMILY! Whew! Do you know how silly-scared I am about this? I mean, I'm already worried we're the "weird family" in the bunch, bein' the only family that homeschools along with a host of other "oddities". Much of our convictions are likely to be seen as "extreme" in any circle, but somehow it feels "safe" when it's just another screenname I have to face. I mean, if I draw a nasty comment, it's just a "delete reply" click away from oblivion (thankfully I've only received generous and sweet replies). It's a whole other world to share my heart with those that are more or less obligated to continue relations with me. LOL!
Yet, sharin' my heart with more or less strangers while hidin' it away from those I cherish most? That just didn't seem right. I'm not ashamed of our lives nor our convictions, so why behave as I am by "hidin' my light under a bushel"? So here it goes! I'm workin' on a series of "FAQ" posts that may seem to be a bit basic, but in barin' my heart to my loved ones, I figured it would likely be the best way to fill any gaps of interest they may have about the "weirdoes" in the family. :)
Edited to Add: Now that I think about it, I believe that one of my cousins was homeschooled. I can't recall if she completed her schoolin' through correspondence or by my aunt and uncle teachin' her, but I do remember that she did not attend "traditional school".
