Catching up!

Today's message at church was powerful beyond description! Our previous pastor who know lives in Texas was our speaker today and he was on fire for the Lord! He told us parents (priests) that we are called to disciple our children and lead them and model what God would have us do. Moms, teach your daughters what clothing is appropriate and fathers pray with your family every day.  He said that men are strong but can be so weak when it comes to leading their household.

We completed week four of homeschooling and I am finally feeling like it's clicking. I was told by a sweet Godly friend that you have to 'un-school' before you can learn to home school. That made complete sense to me because you do not have your head down in a book for 7 hours straight in school...so I'm trying to teach that to daddy Pyro!  He is enjoying his time with Grace when he is home on a weekday.

I had open  house at the Connection last week and it helped me understand more of my part in the home school process.

What sweet times we are having. I love building and capturing these memories. It's definitely a balance you have to find on your own and that works with your family dynamics. I still struggle feeling competent with my parenting/teaching  but I know that is Satan trying to take away my joy!
