Why R we homeschooling!

Some people might ask the question - why r we homeschooling?

Homeschooling is a great way to build very strong family values and connections. It also saves and protects your kids from outside influences. The year before I was married, I lived with a family in New Brunswick that homeschooled. It was such a amazing experience! The kids were protected mostly from materialism. They didn't want every new gadget on the market. They didn't know the latest tv show or character to idolize or familiarize so they could fit in. These kids played outside, respected adults, and learned strong values and communication skills.

My husband declared to me when Malaki was 7 months old - "Our children will not be going to public school." Then he said, "I know you can homeschool". I didn't believe him at first! So I began to research the Christian and private schools in our area - yes when he was a baby- and decided I would get a partime job and put him in a Christian school. The Lord decided to put a hole in my plan. We have sinced moved from that area and went evangelizing in an rv.
Funny!

Two weeks before I was to begin homeschooling Malaki a preschool program we moved to Arkansas. There I had the great priviledge of sending Ki to a Christian School with a first class eduation. He loved it and Mommy and Malaki needed a break from each other. It totally changed our relationship and helped us on great new path. When we moved to Texas, I cried having to leave the wonderful school.

Now we r in Texas - evangelizing from a house - a whole new world. We miss Daddy when he is gone, but we love it! I intended on sending Ki to a homeschool co-op, which is a school 3 days a week and then I would have work to do with him at home. Then my husband spoke again, "I think you should homeschool." ..... Ok. The Lord had been impressing me to homeschool, but until my husband mentioned it I didn't realize it.

I am soo excited to be homeschooling! I know it's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it.
I will save him from soo many things, but I will be able to teach them (Selah too!) so many things they will never learn in school.
