Jiggity, jig!

We just returned from the Christian Heritage Home Educators of Washington conference in Redmond, Wa.  Wow!  What a wonderful, uplifting, challenging conference.  Every session struck a chord with me.  Encouraging me, filling my wellspring, calling me to look beyond this moment to my legacy and back to my heritage. 

Sometimes it is so easy, to easy, to get caught up in the here and now, in the mundane, day-to-dayness of life and forget what our real intent and purpose is through home educating our children.  It isn't about today's assignments, or next year's requirements, or even preparing them for a career.  It is about cultivating deep, personal relationships with these people who are our children, being the wind and the tiller that guides them to their own discovery of Christ and God's Hand in their lives, and giving them a vision beyond themselves to help them guide and grow their own families and the generations to follow.

We were so blessed to attend and I would encourage anyone within a two day's drive to attend next year.  Dr. Voddie Baucham will be speaking.  (It is about a 10 hour drive for us to attend.)

Soon I hope to post some photos, but I first have to figure out how to do that with the new camera.  Always something to learn!
