reminded

As I read another homeschool blog this morning, I was reminded how blessed I am to homeschool. So many people view homeschooling as odd or see kids that are home schooled as not normal. Well praise God, I don't want "normal" kids in today's society! I want to invest in my children to be intimate with the Lord, first and foremost... then wise according to His standards, and brilliant in study. I want to teach them to seek the Lord and His word for their questions in life. That mom and dad are not always right, but God, their creator, is. I am blessed enough to be able to daily, hourly, by the minute...INVEST in my children to be alllllll they were created to be, with Christ as our guide. Now, does our day to day routine always look the same...if you have more than one child...then you know the answer is NO! But we are able to make lessons in things that happen throughout the day. Where when they were in "school" last year, that was not a possibility. And by the time they got home, homework done, dinner eaten...guess what? There was a bible reading then to bed. Applying God's word was MUCH more difficult...because we were in a constant rush....so they could get enough sleep to be up to go to school to come home 8 hours later to do homework, eat, clean up and go to bed again...get my drift? I struggle at times with choosing joy in this journey.... but I am so blessed, as the blog I read this morning said, to get a paycheck in hugs and kisses...and I will add, in investing, spiritually AND emotionally, minute by minute, in my children....as hard as it is some days....I wouldn't trade it for the world:)
Thank you Lord for the opportunity and possibility to do what you've called me to do for this season. Guide and direct us in all we put our hands to.
P.S. We are NOT against school!!! We know not everyone is called to homeschool. We do not judge others for sending their children to school...so please, no ugliness on us being called to homeschool:)
