It's amazing how we can 'know' what the truth is, yet still live like the lies are really the 'truth'- and boy does that make things miserable.
In order to keep the momentum going, I've started a new notebook that is just for this. I figured that if I just did it in my regular journal it would be easy to start skipping days (weeks) and then quickly forget about it because it's been 'lost' into my journal. I have a habit of starting things and not finishing them. ;-(
I'm not sure how it's going to work itself out, but I know it's the right path for me right now.
Another thing I'm going to do differently is how I write this blog. I think homeschooling is almost more about what/how we're doing as parents than it is about the actual schooling. I'm hoping to make time to review the posts I've already done and make them better (keeping the truth of the moment but ditching the whining that was so prevalent in most of my posts up till now) and then focus on blazing a helpful path for those who are coming up behind me in their own journeys.
I don't think that most people who home school, even those who have been doing it for a while, necessarily think that they've got it figured out. And, I've also come to realize that now that I've been homeschooling for a while and have several kids that I'm teaching, other people are looking to me for answers on how it all works and how to get it all done. Lord knows that I don't have all the answers even for myself- but maybe this blog can be a place for people to talk, discuss and pray for and with each other to help us be all that we can be so that we can train up our children to be all that they can be.
