Starting a new year!
This is my very first blogging experience, and I thought I would share my anticipation ( and my fears !) for the upcoming school year. Our homeschool journey has been a bit of a roller coaster ride since we began. I am overjoyed to have my kids at home where they belong, and I am blessed to have such great kids. God is continuing to grow us every day, and I know He will continue to do so in the upcoming year. The kids are excited to begin their Sonlight Curriculum 3 and a new art program. I am currently working on my daily schedule. Last year I implemented a schedule after reading Managers of Their Homes by Teri Maxwell and it went very well. Everything didn't go perfectly as those unexpected things always come up, but we had a plan and a goal for each day, and it was easy to jump back on track when life got a little crazy. If you've never read Maxwell's book I HIGHLY recommend it! My fears for this year are probably the same ones that plague us all. What if we don't accomplish what we "should" this year? Or what if I can't reach this child in this subject? I know that only God can help me succeed in this calling, and I find after having the kids at home for a few years now, I'm coming to rest in the fact that ONLY He can give me the strength, wisdom, patience, and vision to fulfill my role. What a mighty God we serve, whose resources are limitless! My prayer for this new year is to moment  by moment draw upon Him to raise up mighty arrows for His Glory!

I just started blogging here yesterday. I have blogged before, just not here. Do you mind if I add you as a friend?

I've never read Manager of Their Homes, but I think I might. I have the hardest time with a schedule, and I know I need one.

I too fear not accomplishing what I need to this year. Not finding the proper balance between all I need to do. I agree that the only way to find that balance is giving it all up to God and allowing Him to lead. Yes, we do serve a mighty God!
