The Joys Of Homeschooling

Ok so like I haven't started Homeschooling yet, but I think about it all the time.

I felt the stir in my heart about 8 months ago to dive head first into the Lords will for my childrens lives. Once the idea, and excitement wore off, reality hit. And not in a bad way, just in a holy cow way. I was overwhelmed with the even notion, and God changed that in me. Right now its the whole preparing for the harvest to set forth that scares me. Cause we all now that the enemy sure puts doubt into our little brains and tries to kill, destroy and steal the truth in us.

I find myself, wanted to prepare the crop for harvest. Preparing the house and preparing myself for this journey. I take it very seriously and care deeply that I go in the right direction...forward. I pray each day for that guidance I need. And yet I still feel totally and completely unprepared.

Lord will bring me forth in this journey I now, but you now sometimes wisdom helps it a little. And cause I really have little wisdom in this area, I will accept any suggestions!

Welcome, Forgiven- as you start your homeschool adventure!! Lots of homeschool blog-moms out there writing, lots of wisdom to soak up! I really have learned alot from visiting forums too. I enjoy a yahoo homeschool group for my State, and one that is about homeschooling with the Charlotte Mason philosophy/method. I also enjoy a few curriculum-specific forums such as "The well-trained mind" -(classical), the "sonlight" boards, and my new find, the "tapestry" boards.

My favorite homeschool book has to be "Educating the Whole Hearted Child" by Sally Clarkson.

enjoy your journey!
and welcome to blogging, too!

I learned a lot from the book "The Well Trained Mind". I found it at our local library. Before I started homeschooling, I spent a lot of time researching it. I checked out a ton of books at the library. It would also be good to go to a homeschool conference, if there is one close by. They usually have some great speakers.

schoolathome.blogspot.com is also a great resource. I have really liked some of her ideas.

Thanks for stopping by today! I enjoyed reading some of yours too. :)
