Rural Homeschooler

Mar. 27, 2008
So here's a shot in the dark...

If you've been following my blog you know that the past two years have had ups and downs--especially these past 6-9 months of moving and readjusting ot life and practically starting over.

I'm working 20+ hours a week at my new job.  I really enjoy my job.  This time when I took a job; I told hubby that I was just going to plan to work from now on--to help pay off & stay out of debt--and to later build wealth.  It's just a necessity.  Of course that means it's one more thing on my list of things to get done.

I have been struggling with school all year b/c of our displacement.  These past couple of weeks there has been lots of struggling.  We are now considering public school for next school year.  It breaks my heart to say it & yet there is a peace with the thought.  The kids and I stopped by today to visit the school.  (The school was on Spring Break.)  We met with the principal & toured the building.  It's a small school.  (650 students K-12)  SweetieGirl and Mac were excited and loved it.  GeoJr.  liked the playground and cafeteria--but just wants to visit. He's very apprehensive on the whole concept. If this is what is to happen for them I pray God will ease his heart.

We are still in prayer as to what God wants for the children and what is best.  It's not an easy decision.  But nothing recently has been easy--nor is life meant to be.  Pray with us for whatever is best all around.  Also, if it is ps pray for the children as they will have to be tested for grade placement.

I'm open for any comments and thoughts about this idea...  (trust me I have pros & cons playing in my head all day long)

It's good to hear that you are feeling positive about things.. I enjoyed reading the updates here and on myspace although I rarely check that. I got hooked on facebook.. anyway..
As for the schooling, it is so tough. We have done public and private and now homeschool and there are definately pros and cons to each of them. I'll be praying that God will give you definate guidance in that area.

Apr. 4, 2008 - Your site blessed me

Posted by Anonymous


I was searching for the words to HE NEVER LETS GO and for some reason it brought me to your site. What a blessing! God used this song to free me from fear. I was crippled by fear and especially what others thought of me. I sang it so much that in the summer my teenage son put HUMSHALI on his phone so when I called he knew it was me. And now God has given me that name for a ministry opportunity. Wow! He is good! I have a blog but I am new to all this posting stuff. Hopefully I can come back again here soon. Be blessed. Oh and by the way, I homeschool too. No coincidence there. I know God led me here. Be blessed.
