school decisions.... ;0)

We're already thinking about school for next year with the kiddos. Every year we pray for direction about what to do. There are sooo many classes available to homeschoolers that we've not been short on new experiences. We've been going through a homeschooler's school for these last two years-- Veritas Classical Christian School. It's a school where homeschoolers go for their main curriculum for one day, come home with assignments for the next week, then go back the following week for class again. It's been a great way to hit those harder subjects with my 8th grader. She goes an additional day each week for her physical science and algebra. :0)

So, now with high school on the horizon the decision is whether to try public school or stick with our homeschooler's school for 9-12th grades. When I go back to the reasons why we homeschooled in the first place it's VERY easy to see that this homeschool life style has been nothing but a tremendous blessing for our family every step of the way. Ninth grade should be no different, I suppose..... It's working great for us now... it's worked every year up to now....

Praying for clear direction.... and some days I have to say regular school seems exciting-- But, in the big picture.... isn't it all about raising them up for the Kingdom?? Isn't it all about raising them up to be who He created them to be--- and to not follow the crowd?? I honestly don't want them to blend in with the rest of the world.... I don't want them to look like everybody else. I want them to shine for the King.....

The answer will come-- Not really looking for an answer from anybody. This is just sharing what my heart, my soul, and my mind are talking about these days. :0)
