Home's Cool with One

What does this have to do with Home School?

So many times I share on my blog and I wonder, as many of you might… what does this have to do with homeschool? 

I don’t usually talk curriculum, no math or spelling tests listed here. I hardly share about our co-op or the field trips either.  

I have felt a bit guilty sharing my personal stories, as if I have utilized this blog as my own public diary.  I don’t know you personally, we have never met.  Yet… I have the nerve to think you want to read about my life.  This is a home school blog site true, but just because I educate my child, does not mean you want to hear my rue. So I have wandered to and fro… only stopping in a bit to leave a small story or share some new tidbit.

Then, this past weekend something became clear.

Homeschool is not a nine to five – well ok… 10-2  (giggle) daily ritual  that you put on the bookshelf when you are done.  It is  24/7!!  We teach our children from the moment we arise to the moment we tuck them in. Homeschooling is not about the curriculum.  It is not about the education of the mind.  It is about the education of much more… the mind, the heart and the soul!

Epiphany!!! 

Not only my child’s heart soul and mind… but mine too.  I knew this, but now I understand why sharing whatever we share here is vital for me and for you.

Although I may not have met you face to face, you are my friend. You are like me. Maybe you are quieter, more reserved, or maybe you are more strong willed or more organized than I am.  Perhaps your daily devotion time with God would make mine look like a glance… no matter where each of us are in our walk with Christ, no matter what we teach or, more importantly, how many we teach…I have come to realize that it is important that we do share, because we are supporting one another in our own way. We are blessing each other, with love, kindness, understanding and Christ’s love…

So, as we move forward towards 2008 and beyond, I pray what God urges me to share will be a blessing for you.

Happy New Year

It is a blessing...

to read about the joys, sorrows, frustrations, etc. that other homeschoolers face, even if they have no direct connection to "schooling".

By the way, I'm most likely NOT quieter or more reserved than you but I am probably more strong-willed!

Just in case you wanted to know!
