In the fall of 2004 a dear friend whispered in my heart; "80, you can do it!"
Before having children I always thought myself a bit of a "hippie" at heart. I was majorly anti-establishment and had some pretty radical "opinions." I thought to myself often that if I ever had kids I would never give them a s.s.#, never vaccinate, keep them in cloth dipers and homeschool from day one.
Boy was I wacky! No, not really. I had kids but vacinated them and "registered" them with our good'ol government the day they were born. I tried the cloth diper deal and realized quickly it was not for me! And I didn't homeschool. For a long time I set the thought of schooling them myself aside thinking I was not capable.
That is until I got "right" with my Lord and realized he had a better plan for my life. Through many a good influence and a great church with many homeschooling mamas, the thought became a reality that year.
The Lord opened my mind to new possibilities with my heart trusting in his. I wasn't sure how my husband would be lead in that area but praise the Lord!, he agreed.
It was a rough start. I hadn't a clue. But God being merciful sent plenty of help my way.
It has been over 3 years now and we are going strong. The boys love it and not once have they had the desire to do it otherwise.
I pray that my God will allow for us to do it all the way through High School but only time will tell.
