We have kept our kids “sheltered” in prayer by the powerful blood of Jesus Christ. And we have rejected the reality of low expectations. However, through our homeschooling freedom we’ve actually exposed our children — with oversight and spiritual protection — to horrendous realities in our world. As a result, our older children are now helping to IMPACT the darkness with the light of our wonderful Lord!"Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17238112.post-25288645934167226472011-05-05T18:04:30.504-07:002011-05-05T18:04:30.504-07:00I totally agree with Brenda!

I see the privilege of homeschooling and I am deeply thankful that we are in a place to do it. Your reasons are very articulate and thorough. I kind of want to copy and paste your reasons to my own word file :) Love it!! I'm excited to see your family be shining lights in your community and for your girls to blossom into bright little ladies under your instruction :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001995921724604502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17238112.post-52531034717545298372011-04-30T11:10:36.087-07:002011-04-30T11:10:36.087-07:00Great article Sweets.

You are going to have 3 of the sweetest young ladies in the world in just a short 20 years from now. I know you will be a great teacher. This is the right direction. Nobody is more qualified to raise your kids than you.brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902noreply@blogger.com
