Homeschool take two

This year will be our second year to homeschool but it kinda feels like it's my first since I lived with my Mom part of last year. She just happens to be the one who homeschooled me ALL of my school up until college and my siblings way back when and is still homeschooling the last of my siblings. We are also in a new location in Texas and have to find all the Homeschool resources available to us. I really shouldn't be to worried since there are tons of resources these days for families like mine.

We actually weren't planning on homeschooling this year but the Lord had other plans. I did a Good Morning Girls study with a group of ladies and the study we did was based on the book "Anything" by Jennie Allen it was very thought provoking to say the least(put it on our reading list you won't regret it). I felt God nudging me the last couple months to take the step out of my comfort zone. It isn't something I really wanted to do. I am not the best teacher, I have a learning disability, I am an introvert those things are just facts about myself but as soon as I gave those things up and took the step of obedience God was desiring of me I felt great peace. Homeschooling for me is stepping out of my comfort zone and into obedience with Christ.

So this year I will be doing 3rd grade with Grace, Kindergarter/1s grade combo with Jonah, and pre-k with Micah and Kerith, and Titus I am sure will be right in the middle.
