“How’s homeschooling?”

It’s the question I am asked most often these days.
And to be totally honest it’s a hard one to answer.
I usually say something like:

“Oh, you know, some days are good and some are hard.”

And it’s true…. but I wish I could explain it better. I just have a really hard time putting into words what these last two months have been like. Homeschooling has definitely changed our family. In so many ways.

This summer I took some time to make a list of all the things that I wanted the kids to learn this year- ya, I kinda love lists! Among the academic goals I had for each of the kids I began to realize that our focus this year needed to be on the kids ability to hear God. I want them to know Him….like, reeeeeeally know him. To run to Him. To desire Him.

Say WHAAAAAT? You’re going to homeschool your kids?! All of them?!

Yup.

I’ll let the shock sink in…………………………….

One day while walking through the grocery store a song came on that I had never heard before. It actually stopped me in my tracks and I let the words sink into my heart. I am a words person. Words are how I express, how I process, how I give and receive love. It always fascinates me when I am reminded that not everyone hears a song the same way I do. Chris listens to the music- the melody, the instruments, the flow of the song…. I listen to the lyrics.

So, I heard this song and immediately wanted to share it with Chris, so I texted him the YouTube video.
