Homeschooling

This is me being real... I hope this post encourages someone who is facing something that seems impossible.  I pray that they find that impossible, possible with God.  I also want this to be documented for my family to read for years to come and see how God provided for us and be a testimony, a monument if you will of God's faithfulness and keep encouraging us to trust Him.

We did virtual school last year for kindergarten for Taylor.  The curriculum was pretty good.  But I didn't like having to report to someone and taking Taylor in 3 times for testing was not an easy task for her.  I really wanted to get a Christian curriculum for this upcoming school year.  We kept planning and talking about it and I researched to find what would fit our family best.  I fell in love with 2 curriculums, Heart of Dakota and My Father's World.

This year has been tight financially... I swear each month something has come up and we would be down to pennies.  I am very thankful that we have a roof over our head, dependable vans to drive and food on the table.  However with things being tight there was no extra money for this wonderful curriculum that I fell in love with.  I was devastated... heart broken really...  So I was going to fall back on to virtual school again for Taylor and Addison.  It really wasn't that big of a deal to do virtual.  But in my spirit I just knew that isn't what God had for us.  But still we did not have the money.  I asked Nathan to pray with me and believe for the money that was needed.  THE VERY NEXT DAY was crazy busy... I was working on the application process for virtual school for both girls and was realizing how much I had to do and needed it done ASAP. (I was doing all this the first week of August) School with FVS (Florida Virtual School)started August 13th!  I was in a tizzy about everything when my phone ringed... it was a dear friend to me.  ( You know one of those God connection relationships)  We don't talk often but wish we did.  I answered the phone in my tizzy... and she listened to me like she always does.  At the end she asked me why are you doing virtual?  I thought you didn't like it.  I told her that is what we have to do this year and plan better for next year.  She immediately felt led to bless us.  She felt from the Lord that this is what she was suppose to do.  Now don't get me wrong... it was very hard for me to accept it.  But I knew this was from God.  We prayed the night before for God to provide a way and for us to know.  God used them to be a blessing.  I am so thankful to them for being obedient to the Lord.  I know and pray that God will bless them for their hearts. 

So I now got to plan my school year and do exactly what I wanted to do!  AMEN and to God be the Glory!  He is good!!!!
