Goals for home education.

The original name of my blog was Homeschooling Rules!

I changed it when I realized I really didn’t know that much about homeschooling.

I still don’t know that much about homeschooling, but I am growing in knowledge and wisdom.

I am excited about our annual homeschool/parenting conference that begins tonight at 7 pm.

We will have speakers, curriculum, used books and most importantly encouragement. The encouragement to continue home educating our children.

What is your goal for home education?

Well for many it is the best possible academics. For others it is a desire to live a separated life unto the Lord.

My husband and I want to spend every day living and learning with our kids about life and the Lord. I realized a long time ago that I cannot impart my faith to my children if I am not with them.

Now that my oldest child is 15, I see how quickly the time goes.  How fleeting is our ability to impact these precious children.

I admit it is difficult to get things done with little ones. But I see now that even the baby (9 weeks old) is quickly growing up. Will I have enough time to make a difference?

My desire is for my children to love God with all their hearts and seek Him for themselves. They will spend far more time out of our home than they will in it. My prayer is that I won’t waste our time together.

I promise that this weekend will not be a waste of time or money. I hope to meet you and see you there! char
