Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”

The other night, me and Abram (my 2 year old) were having a little talk about Daddy going to work and why.  I asked him, out of curiosity for what he would come up with, what his work would be when he grew up.  Guess what he said?!  He said he was going to have one of those big poles that catch fish (fishing pole).  I said, Oh so your going to be a fisherman?  And he said yeah.  And I said, So you're going to catch fish for your work?  And he said, "No, I'm gonna catch men!" 

Wow!  That blew me away.  I did not put that in his head, and I don't know where he got it from either.  I thought that was worth writing down! 

(That does not mean I'm going to eliminate all other careers from his future possibilities--I'm not one of those kind of parents.  He could be in any career and still 'fish for men'.  However, this makes me really aware, yet again, of my need to focus more attention on teaching my children the bible.  I had a dream shortly after Abram was born that I was nursing him, and that instead of milk, he was drinking the Word of God!  It was a very real dream that I take very seriously.  I don't know what God has in store for that little boy, but I know He wants me to pour the Word of God into him.)

What a cool story. Make sure you put that one in his baby book...

I haven't checked in on you in a long time...life being so busy and all. I am glad to see that you are still here.

Take care,
Joyce

That is a great story. We need kids in this world who grow up with this focuss. I know it is so hard to accomplish this but God is gracious. Take care

Hello, first I want to say that I found you through Patiecake.
Next, I wanted to say that was very touching and very true. I am always awed by the huge gift God has given us by giving us eternal souls to nuture! What a responsibility! Of course, we'll make mistakes, at times we may be too harsh or too soft, but in the end as long as we have given them a firm foundation on which to build their lives, we can rest in knowing that we have done all that we could. Our children will have to make their own choices and live with the consequences! That is one of the many reasons we homeschool! We want as much undisturbed time to build that foundation! Reminders like the one your son gave you is really just a divine intervention! They are all around us, given by God to help us see where we as parents need to improve! Your story was sweet - I can think of similar times with my children that have been just as surprising!

About Me

Welcome to our homeschooling adventure! My husband and I made the decision to homeschool our children while my oldest, Abigail, was still in my womb. We have two children now, Abigail and Abram, and both have been homeschooled since birth. Abigail is 5 and about to start her second year of recorded school, and Abram is 2 1/2 and about to start his first. My husband, Josh, was homeschooled until graduation, and I am the Mama and teacher that is blessed to be his wife! I was public school taught (except for two years) and was blessed with some awsome teachers and had awsome parents--but I believe homeschool to be superior in so many ways. I can't imagine not teaching my own children at home!!!
