Homeschool
Deuteronomy 6:6-7: And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
Over 8 years of homeschooling various age children I’ve grown into learning different methods and feeling out what works for our family! Realizing I get to have my kids home all day, doing life with them is exciting. Getting opportunity to speak truth all day can be challenging and life-giving.
We’ve tweaked and seen how God leads us in the homeschool area. God has grown us and stretched us! For a while it was ever-changing until we found a grove that works, and even then it still changes as the kids grow! Don’t over complicate things. Simplify!
