Excellence In Christ

Posted in Homeschooling

This week has been a hectic one.  Besides starting my blog which has been exciting and a little time consuming, we are getting ready to start the children's ministry I mentioned in a previous post.  We are starting from scratch and many of the leaders were not familiar with the program.  I've had to help give some training, but mostly organize and track down our materials.  I have list after list of things to do/buy/ask about. 

 

The coordinator and I both homeschool and were talking last night about how time consuming this is on the front end.  It has certainly impacted school with my daughters at least this week.  As our years of homeschooling drift by, I have become less uptight about having to scrap our schedule for a little while and be more flexible -- homeschooling gives us that very opportunity.  A year or two ago, I would have been stressed that no learning would take place at all, but now we fit it in when we can and know that we will be back to our routine in a couple weeks.

 

I thank God for this small gain.  I have had to trust the Lord and allow Him to direct my steps each day, each hour, each minute.  I must commit my daily schedule to Him and allow him to give me direction.  In Christ, Talya

Thanks for popping over to check me out!:-) This is on homeschoolblogger.com rather than blogspot. I just picked one that seemed to best fit my interests -- homeschooling. I thought my posts would center around homeschooling and childrearing, but I don't think they all will. I want to focus on various issues the Lord has laid on my heart -- all of which I believe will edify the family in some way. In Christ, Talya

hi keeper,
thanx for the encouragement! yeah, let's do keep in touch as oft as possible which most likely will be when we can get a break from homeschooling. girl, you know how it is lol.

anyhoo, i started using alpha & omega lifepac unit studies, and it was fine for me, however, my boys didn't like it by the third year. i was very, VERY anxious about this year because i recognize my limitations and i just could not (nor wanted to!) teach upper grade level math, and science. i was dreading sept. as far as the boys were concerned but my third grader was no problem. shoot! i still know how to do multiplication & division lol. well, eureka!! can somebody say dvds!! i invested in the a beka dvd program for them and now they have virtual teachers who do those challenging subjects that i didn't want to touch with a ten foot pole. however, i still do english with them. the dvd program really frees up my hands and allows me to spend more time instructing my younger daughters. one thing about the program though, it is a bit pricey, but well worth my peace of mind. God is so faithful!! LOL
well sis, thanx again for your quick reply and Lord willing, i'll chit-chat w/ you later.

blessings & peace 2 u. angela
