Yes, homeschooling ...Thanks for sharing your heart. Yes, homeschooling is a life of ups and downs. I get completely burned out at least twice a year! It's funny - I've had the same thougths about being on the phone w/ friends... our daily schedules are just not on the same page.<BR/>But my daily routine is similar to yours, so i'll email you my digits and the next time you're having a low moment, give me a ring! ;-)Jennifer@DoingTheNextThinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638610935270014304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079228106328008674.post-24351229135026129332008-09-12T10:02:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:02:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you got your outside issues resolved :...I'm so glad you got your outside issues resolved :) You're doing a great job with your girls.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463769919128827560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2079228106328008674.post-34863277727065403062008-09-12T06:25:00.000-07:002008-09-12T06:25:00.000-07:00I'm so glad God sent you the right person to encou...I'm so glad God sent you the right person to encourage you and challenge you!

It is such an encouragement to me to see God showing you lights in the dark moments! Homeschooling is a hard choice....doubts are a part of it, unfortunately. But, when we follow God's calling, we can be sure that he has a purpose in it, that far exceeds ours! Its hard to see it when you are first starting out, but believe me...it will become so much more clear as time goes on and you see more fruits of your labor. I still have doubts...but, not following my heart, and God's leading would leave me with bigger regrets and doubts. I know this from experience when I followed those doubts and enrolled Isabella in school when AShton was an infant. It only took to week 3 when Brian and I realized that we werent following God;s leading...and we brought her home. My heart was then at peace....it definitely is a calling and can only be done by GOd;s strength. I'll tell you what, Isabella and I always Hi-5 eachother when we see the other neighborhood kids stuck inside piled with homework at 5pm, and we are out riding bikes with her brothers and sister! Its awesome to no thave that homework burden!<BR/>HugsJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426791394343032657noreply@blogger.com
