Last Wednesday, we officially started our 2nd year of homeschooling. We got off to a pretty good start last week and then today, I enrolled Shelby and Lindsay in a "new to us" homeschool co-op.  They offer 3 classes for 3 hours on Tuesday afternoons.  The classes this semester are art, science experiments, and cooperative games.  Before we got there today, the girls were discussing what they thought they would and would not like and art was high on their "will not like" list, so imagine the laugh I got this afternoon when they informed me that art was their favorite class?? LOL

This year feels different already in comparison to this time last year.  I guess that is because we have 1 year officially under out belt, but I also think that part of the reason things feel differently is because we are different people.  God has really challenged each of us as we embarked on the adventure of homeschooling and He has done it in many areas of our lives, not just the ones we would obviously think of.  While not all challenges were met with a Christ-like response, overall, we have grown and learned more about who we are as individuals, we have learned who God wants us to be, and we have learned just how far short we fall of that, especially when we try to make any change under our own strength and without God's leading and direction.

This year as we continue on our journey of homeschooling, I look forward to a time of continuing to learn more not just academically, but also spiritually, and to becoming more like Jesus in all that we do so that He receives glory and not us.

I enjoyed reading this. Every year brings more growth, doesn't it? Not just in academics, but in relationships and spiritual growth. It sounds like you're off to another great school year. Holly
