I LOVE JESUS!!!! He's so cool. He's my hero, seriously. The miracles He performs in people's hearts is just amazing. He has performed a miracle in my heart within a year!

I've been struggling with some issues in my preparation for teaching the principle approach (PA) to my children this coming year (starting Sept. 4). Last year, almost nothing was resolved and I was very bitter. I could feel it, but I didn't know what else to do. I kenw it wasn't right and that what the PA teaches is more godly than anything I've been taught, so I set my heart to be reconciled to God over these issues I had. I prayed, read literature from the Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE), talked with other mothers (both from my perspective and another perspective) and it's just now that I'm realizing the work God is doing in my heart. He has used all of these things to give me a new heart concerning those issues!!!! It's amazing. Things that used to bother me about the PA don't bother me anymore! God has given me a new perspective! I just relized the change was occuring when I went back to read some things I had written a year ago! I thought someone else was writing and started correcting them in my head as I read, only to find out that the author was me! How's that for an epiphany? It's been amazing. God has also been so gracious as to allow me to travel this road to deeper understanding with a friend. It's so amazing and wonderful! I'm all excited to start the new year. I'm continuing to study and read and pray. I'm just so thankful that He's put me on the right path. I'm so glad He is working in my heart! I may not be the most popular person because of my newfound perspective, but I have God with me and having His approval is so much sweeter!!!!

So, to anyone who's been wondering about the PA, I can vouch for it and say that it does work. I can only imagine the effect on my children if this is what it's doing in me! Praise the Lord for revelation!!!

Violet,

I think that is amazing. God works so patiently with all of us, right where we are. I am glad you are still going ahead in the Lord's grace. Your struggles have been valid and God has worked in your life for His glory. PTL!

Once our eyes are opened to the possibilities of the Biblical Principle Approach it's hard to do anything else.

I've had a time like this, but for a different reason. This week God has done the same for me. Things have been resolved and I feel a refreshing, a newness and an excitement I haven't felt in a while. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Violet,
How very brave of you to post this. It has been a blessing to watch your transformation as God has also worked a similar transformation in myself. I nearly walked away from it all this summer but God has so graciously restored my vision. He is so good!

Your previous commenter is correct in that once you've tasted PA, you can't turn back!

Blessings to you!
