This is just a quick note to say that Rich and I are home schooling, not just Jacob, but also our 2 other school-age children. Jacob is in 4th, Ethan is in 3rd, and Grace is in 2nd.
This is unexpected, Ethan and Grace were enrolled in our now non-existent school at our church. It’s very painful for me to see the ministry end, but I know it is all part of God’s plan.
I ask for prayer for my family. We need wisdom and Christ-like attitudes as we tackle this new stage in our family. Pray that I will be strong, giving up is not an option!
We plan on starting officially within the next week or 2.
I know this picture is hard to see—it is a picture of my 3 older children when they were all preschoolers. We had so much fun in those early years and now that we are homeschooling, I am looking forward to that special closeness again.

Praise God for a husband that is agreement with homeschooling, mine isn’t. I sooo wish I could….
Have you read Lisa Whelchel’s book, ‘So you are thinking about homeschooling’? I have been home schooling for 8 years now and have just started this book, it is wonderful! I have faith in you, you will love, love, love homeschooling and all of it’s possibilities! OH! Have you home schooled before? lol I guess I should ask that first :O) Hollar if I can help!
Sorry to hear there is no longer a school at your church. Praise God that you are able to homeschool them, enjoy.~Michelle
Enjoy your journey! I’ll pray for you.
I’m glad I talked to you today. You sounded so positive about and I know that you will do an excellent job. I’m praying for you.
You’re going to love it! I’m so glad I’m homeschooling my precious kiddos. This will be our fourth year (Bethany is going into 3rd grade). I think you will do a great job!
Praying for you and your kids as you make this adjustment! Your attitude about it being in God’s plan is right- trust in him and everything will work out!
Praise God that you are so flexible to do what needs to be done! Blessings, Kim.
I will be praying for you and your family. I know it will be a blessing for you.
May you find the strength that you need to do what is best for your family. He will definitely supply all your needs! You can do it!
You can do it, the Lord will give you what you need!!!
I have considered home schooling myself, but I know I don’t have the patience! Good luck and God Bless, I know YOU can do it.
: )
Is there no ther school close by? I’m interested in why you decided this?? Let me know. I’ve often thought about it myself to tell you the truth. (by the way since I’m reading a very old post here I must add I think you are doing a WONDERFUL job!)
