Well, I was awake at 3:30am this morning.  I was catching up on Homeschool Reviews forums.  I came across a post about blogs.  I've been wanting to start one but haven't had the time.  Since, I had lots of time this am, I went ahead and started one.  In my haste to learn how to post a pic, I forgot to write a decent entry.  I'm not a good writer, everyone will just have to excuse my errors!

I started hsing my two sons Mason (11) and Colby (8) two years ago.  My oldest was diagnosed ADD and I was getting pressure from PS to put him on meds.  He's never been a behavior problem but had a hard time staying on task and retaining info.  I didn't believe that he was severe enough to need med.  (We believe if you need it and have a peace about it, then take it.   There was no peace for us.)

The Lord laid it on my heart to start hsing.  I struggled with it because I wasn't sure if I could handle it.  After much prayer it was revealed to me that hsing was God's will for our family.  My husband new it from the start but wanted God to reveal it to me.  He didn't want me to feel as if I was pushed into hsing.

The first year I struggled with hsing.  I'd second guess God (which is never wise) and my abilities on and off all year.  A couple of mths into this year, I kind of started doubting again.  Everytime this came up, God would bring a person or a story into my life to re-interate his will.  I'm finally at complete peace.  I now realized that it's not always going to be a walk in the park.  We will have good and bad days.  Heath told me to quit stressing constantly about the end result.  He said, the most important think is setting short term goals and when you've met them, set some new ones.  He told me that he is so proud of me and how much time I put into researching the best curriculum for both Mason and Colby.  I so needed this encouragement and praise.

Mason is doing so much better at home.  I'm very proud that both of my boys have learned a lot.  I also love being with them. 

So, here we are!  I've already picked out their curriculum for next year and I'm so excited.  We will continue this journey until or if God moves us in a different direction.
