My little girl is Alayna.<br /><br />I feel like I know you from following your blog and from a few mutual friends that we share.<br /><br />I really appreciate you sharing your heart on the issue of school. It is a battle that my husband and I discuss every year!! To date we havent homeschooled yet! We have one in fourth, one in second, and one in kindergarten and then a 16 month old. In a nut shell I wrote that it is important to continue to give every area to God and cry out to God on behalf of our children. Just becuz this is the decision we made for this year, I remind myself that it can change any time that we would feel lead to do so. I read something recently...No matter what "school" my children attend home or not, does not bring assurance to their salvation. Neither one will "save" them. They could go to public school their whole life and still become a Christian and live a godly life. We are trying to be intentional in our time with them when they r home. I need to trust God! It can be sooo hard! I never thought this would be a battle every year. God does bring me to a place of peace and trusting him in the end. We didn't make our decision for this year until one week before school started :) <br /><br />Anyways, thanks for sharing your heart here.<br /><br />KendraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-86219178242008691052011-09-03T00:06:19.408-04:002011-09-03T00:06:19.408-04:00Me too.

I'm crying at the words ...No you're right. I'm crying at the words of Hourglass. You see, for the second year I drove two of my children off to college, tucking them all snug into their dorm rooms. Counting down the days until fall break. Skyping, always skyping and texting. There's a new normal...again! And it's ok.<br /><br />Life is an altered dress for sure! And then it's altered again, and again!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471932499113451760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-57705509165046104432011-08-29T17:50:28.737-04:002011-08-29T17:50:28.737-04:00Hi Janelle,

I struggle often times at feeling like I just can not meet my own expectation, but who cares! Our kids are healthy and are in a loving home. What else matters. So my house is sometimes dirtier than I like, but oh well!<br /><br />Hope you and Tyler and the rest of the family have a great school year.<br /><br />Sheila MartinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-21652621261584138842011-08-29T14:08:53.965-04:002011-08-29T14:08:53.965-04:00Blessings to you...and to Tyler as he starts a new...Blessings to you...and to Tyler as he starts a new year in that sweet little schoolhouse down the street! Letting go of dreams and ideals is not easy, but the peace that overflows once we do is well worth all the pain and anguish in getting there. Knowing what is best for your household is a wise woman's job. May there be confirmation of your decision every morning and every afternoon. ♥Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728658850056680038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-18945304927690691802011-08-29T08:58:40.277-04:002011-08-29T08:58:40.277-04:00One thing i know is there's no such thing as h...One thing i know is there's no such thing as homeschooling perfectly. and when you homeschool there's no such thing as keeping up on the laundry or the dishes perfectly either ;) i have struggled so very much in my choice to continue homeschooling b/c i often find myself saying I CAN'T DO IT ALL!! but my kids like it, they want to do it, "Mom, you would RUIN our lives if you sent us to school" is what I'm told soooo... i do it. for them. but i think that judging from Tyler's enthusiasm you are making a great decision for him at this stage of his little life. i'm sure he will do very well but it still kinda "hurts" to let go, to watch them grow up so quickly!!!The Art of Homeschoolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417132331464777026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-73722967470730043412011-08-28T22:10:08.061-04:002011-08-28T22:10:08.061-04:00sending my big girl to second grade and my big boy...sending my big girl to second grade and my big boy to first.<br />just typing that brings tears to my eyes.<br />My baby has one more year of pre-school before he heads off too.<br /><br />ahhh.... letting go....<br /><br />it is a journey indeed.<br /><br />so excited to hear how Tyler's first day goes for him/you!<br />ps- if you still want to pop over for coffee some morning this week, I would love that!<br />xoxo my friend...Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883975580159419000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839049437868148460.post-62231204975529730772011-08-28T16:40:10.304-04:002011-08-28T16:40:10.304-04:00i am on the journey with you in letting go of perf...i am on the journey with you in letting go of perfectionism, my perceptions and realizing I can not do it all. there is freedom when I can really embrace this. thanks for sharing your heart!<br />love ya, heatherHeather Buckwalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721994114857104514noreply@blogger.com
