The Call of the Wild Goose

It seems to be the way of all my plans, just when I think that I have sorted a simple off the shelf program, something reminds my that while it may be a good path, it isn't quite the right path. Inside the grammar debate is a yearning for a simple natural way to cover writing and enjoy learning.  Strangely the winds of change were in the early emails from my first email group.  A group of ladies working out how to bring together grammar, good writing and their children's own compositions. Lots of work, but free, simple, ready to pull together the rest of the subject areas. As I've prayed and considered, sought advice from the wise, there is a voice calling out - to walk forward and take each day at a time. To trust. Easy said this is my learning ground not necessarily the place I want to wing it. Enjoy, have fun, laugh, make mistakes, struggle, learn.... Trust. An invitation to follow the Wild Goose. Maybe somewhere in our home schools each of us has to do that. To follow the path that God has for each of us alone. To enjoy the journey, without fear of the destination. Follow, trust, walk on, one day, one lesson at a time. Follow Him. I have provisions for the journey, there  is the old program on the shelf, the echo's of older emails and the spirit they contained,  a good grammar to answer the questions and teach us the means, others who have walked this path, and always God's Spirit promises to guide - as long as I relax, trust and follow. I'm looking forward to the journey. (For those that are wondering - the Wild Goose is the Celtic symbol for the Holy Spirit)

Your entry brought me much needed peace. "Trust, follow him, one lesson at a time", everything I needed to hear this morning. Thank you! I never knew that the wild goose was a Celtic symbol for the Hloy Spirit, I need to get a nice wooden carving of one and hang it over our door.

I enjoyed popping over to your blog this evening. I was really touched by your reminder to trust God along the way. Trust! It is such a hard concept sometimes to wrap ourselves around. I find myself giving into worry and doubt, forgetting for the moment that He alone is in charge and knows just what my family needs. Thank you! I was tagged on my blog and the rule was that I had to tag six random bloggers. Guess what?! You are my random blogger! It was very nice "meeting" you this afternoon. I am glad that I found you randomly. In true blogger tag fashion, I must say: "TAG! YOU ARE IT!" Please visit my blog and play along. In Him, Candice
