Because sometimes I forget that it isn't about building their resumes or having the smartest kid in the room...
I homeschool...
to find opportunities to practice compassion together every day
to foster meaningful friendships with their peers
to educate my children so that they see the world as God's see it
to help my children find their God given purpose in life
to make prayer, scripture memory, and time in the Word part of a day's natural rhythm
to model a lifestyle of worship before my children
to leave lots of margin in their lives for creative play, alone time, and exploring
to encourage them in hopes that they will love the process of learning
to strengthen family bonds
to foster meaningful and lasting friendships among siblings
to take vacations in April and September when it is empty and cheap
to create lasting memories of time together rather than apart
to practice and teach what it means to honor others above ourselves
to study and learn about topics together
to get outdoors as much as possible and enjoy God's amazing world
to deepen our family relationships
to train my children to evaluate all things through the Word of God
to teach them how to think so that they won't be told what to think by others
to help them know God in a personal way
to practice the fruits of the Spirit in a safe place
to allow them the opportunity to know baby C (7 months) well
in hopes that all of the knowledge we gain draws us closer to our Creator
and so that I have more time in each day and each week to acheive these goals, yet with a recognition of my full reliance on His work in their hearts and lives.
