Did I ever tell you that I love homeschooling?! I love my children and I sure do love my husband. When this adventure began 16 or so years ago little did I know the blessing the Lord had in store for me. He sure guided this not so brilliant lady down His path until I finally got it!
I finally got it somewhere along the path when I stopped long enough to hear him. It is not about the academics....no sir-ee. It is about listening to God, listening to their hearts, communication, working out personality types under one roof, hospitality, working together as a team, being a ministry as a family, trusting and obeying the Lord, listening to their hearts, sharing our hearts, building up and encouraging and so much more...so much more like listening to their hearts. 
(yes, I repeated that one!) BUT the key is listening to what the Lord is saying and letting him direct our paths.
I just wanted to share my joy of it all with you...even though one is all graduated from the formality of required by the state stuff she will forever be a learner. She went against the flow then and heard the Lord and followed him and he has blessed her greatly for that. I am also enjoying watching Will mature into this awesome young man. Yes in deedy, the Lord is so good!It is another week and this time both Will (my son) and I have entered the photo contest...different photos of course. The subject this week is Board Games. We love board games! We sure had fun taking our pictures...we took over one hundred each! What a job it was narrowing it down to one each.
This has been so much fun for Will too. He is challenged yet has fun and is learning all about his new camera. I am also learning....that my old camera is not as nice as his!
Go vote for your favorite here...iliveinmycamera.
Enjoy!

everything i know about you tells me how much you love homeschooling--it really is a big part of who you are as a wonderful woman of god, and your family. i am off to see the photos.
Amen Susan!!!!! It's not about Academia first, it's about the Lord! The Lord will lead in the academic part as we listen to that still small voice. Yes indeedie!!!
Thank you for the sweet comment, I read it to Rebecca and she just smiled so cute. : )
I'm going to go see those pics! What a neat subject matter, board games! I bet the shots are awesome! Ansel Adams years ago said all ya need is a box camera and a good eye! You go girl!
Love to you sweetie! ~Amelia
I truly don't understand people who respond to me when I tell them that we home school with "I could NEVER do that!" Some even go so far as to say they wouldn't want to spend that much time with their kids. Me? I love my children and don't like it when they aren't around.
Which picture is yours? I would love to cast my vote for you
Blessings,
Margie
