Arrows in the Hand

• Aug. 19, 2008 - homeschooling

I am one of those Homeschool  Moms who will try and do too much. I am trying to learn from my past mistakes and this time let God teach me what to teach my kids. He put it on my heart to teach the girls to pray (which is why we started the prayer journals or notebook).  I was very surprised by Him asking me this because I thought we had already taught them to pray! And we had taught 2 little girls to pray at the level they could as toddlers..preschoolers but now they have grown up some and it was time for their pray time to mature also. I must admit that I have had a hard time moving from mom of little kids to now having more big kids than I do babies. I have really fought the Lord when it has comes to homeschooling. It is sad but I have said many times I wish that I could have keep all of them from turning 5 so I would not have to make the school decision! I really wanted to homeschool but did not want to take on the responsibility. Didn't want things to change from the way they were (hope that makes since), well as you know even when your kids go to school things change. I could not keep them preschoolers, could not make time stand still. I have to learn to enjoy the new season of life that I am in but I am sure when this season has passed I will not want it to end either. I have fully surrendered to God about homeschooling after trying to figure out what to do on my on, going from homeschool to Christian school than homeschool than public school! Still growing up in God, Nicole
