{ reflections on ten years of homeschool & life... }
a decade…
a whole, actual, decade of walking by faith and figuring this thing out. we just officially wrapped up my tenth year of being a homeschool mom! the more I say it the more I realize how wild that really is. But to them… it’s not at all! Its their norm. It is all they’ve known. To them, this is the way life is supposed to go. following my lead as I share with them all that I know and everything that I don’t. They’ve learned to filter life through the lens of love that I show them. that's what ten years of homeschool has been for us… and I’m grateful.
A friend asked me what I felt like my trials and triumphs have been over the last ten years. The short of it came out quite simply. My biggest triumph has been that we’re still going and my biggest trial has been that there’s so many, lol. But, each year I’ve learned to meet those trials with faith and love. Pressing on one day at a time.
if I were to share any keys or secrets to how we’ve experienced fruitful years along our educational journey, there would only be one.
“trust in the lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.”
im just out here trusting god with the whole of my heart and my mind!
I struggle daily, with whether or not what we choose to do each and every day is 'right’ and/or ‘enough’. and yet, no matter the struggle I face, I choose trust above all else.
it’s carried me through the doubts and the fear, our strenghts and our weaknesses, the good days and the bad.
I revisit our statement of purpose and vision reminding myself of who we are, what he’s promised and then I trust him!
“write the vision and make it plain upon tablets that he may run who reads it. for the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and not lie: thou it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
WHO WE ARE…
-a family of purpose-led readers, writers and film-makers exploring education & real life in a digital world
-dreamers & visionaries in the research stage of producing our first film centered around education.
-an unschooling family of five loving, living and learning together where life is full of lessons so, #weliveandwelearn🌱
OUR VISION IN A NUTSHELL???
- grow closer as a family
- learn to follow the footsteps of jesus + become more like christ in all that we do
- give of our gifts freely + pursue purpose
- create memories
- live a life of faith + love
- find the joy in our journey
here’s to a lifetime of living and learning with my crew and all the friends and family we’ll enjoy this life with along the way.
with all the love,
