Timo will be in the public school beginning the dual language kindergarten. Andrew may be going to the preschool which would be a big plus for me (and him). So there would actually be a bit of focussed time for me to be with her.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06370095814271780946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-70148503146565819812012-02-22T09:06:07.258-06:002012-02-22T09:06:07.258-06:00Wow - thanks for these thoughts!

I never feel as lonely or in need of God's help as I am in cooking and providing food. I'm sure it's spiritual warfare too, since God knows they need to be nurtured, and satan is trying to prevent that true nurture and communion within the family they need at the family altar or table where we join hands together and receive from Jesus as we eat. But anyway, it could be good to do some old-fashioned training here too. Have fun :) MBMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773188143799348188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-62829398151234346832012-02-22T02:23:33.364-06:002012-02-22T02:23:33.364-06:00Sarah I'm going to venture here, as a tried an...Sarah I'm going to venture here, as a tried and true and failed and frustrated home schooling Mom. When you do home school Priscilla, and yes I agree you're hearing the cry of her heart and the calling of Jesus here correctly, as far as I can see from afar, to not get bogged down in details. If what she needs is time with you to read about Jesus and study His WORD, and to be mentored by you, don't have any expectations on how the year should go, what you should cover, etc. Just let it be in His hands, it is the best place for it to be. I've spent way too many anxious moments worrying about what they were getting, or not getting, when all He wanted was for them to rest and receive in Jesus His WORD. It's a limited time we have, let's not worry about what we can't accomplish but let His Word dwell in our hearts RICHLY. Also, with our girls, it's OK to teach them the domestic side of things too--to cook etc. Boys obviously too, but it's all too easy to neglect this side of a girl's education, and they need it to nurture and be the women God calls them to be. Nothing better for a girl than to have her mother teach her this, and it's so easy to ignore...MBMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773188143799348188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-23588522668441545842012-02-21T23:56:41.786-06:002012-02-21T23:56:41.786-06:00Oh my goodness Sarah.

Perfect, perfect, perfect! <br />Will Timo be in school next year? Or does he have another year at home? If you have four at home, will it be hard to keep Caleb from feeling left out?<br />I loved not sending my kids off to school, instead watching their friendships with each other develop and deepen. I loved not having to imagine them eating lunch in a noisy crowded lunchroom every day. I loved watching them cuddled on the couch together reading...ahhh. What bliss awaits you. Not that you don't already have that, but to have that instead of school, all the time, living together in the Deuteronomy 6 way. Personally mentoring Priscilla, at her request. What a privilege and what a blessing. My heart is overflowing with joy for you!Suzanne Evansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-29978705650356839682012-02-21T23:15:46.206-06:002012-02-21T23:15:46.206-06:00Thanks Donna - as I venture out into 'unknown ...Thanks Donna - as I venture out into 'unknown territory' I need all the encouragement I can get!

That makes me think of how much my relationship with my Heavenly Father should be this way. I don't believe you'll ever regret spending this time with Priscilla, or her having more time with the little ones, however long it turns out to be. <br /><br />Donna in FLDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552420314862930245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-70649397884727697292012-02-21T12:45:12.723-06:002012-02-21T12:45:12.723-06:00Thank you so much for your encouragements here!

Thank you for sharing from your own personal story! I hope you don't mind my sharing it on facebook! <br /><br />I love that you took time to discover and consider what your daughter asked of you, when she said, "...Mommy, we could have breakfast together and then read our Bibles together before we start school each day!' (One of my children said something very similar to me, one day, long ago, and, to my regret, I failed to make it happen!)I regret not having walked WITH each of my children into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than simply a knowledge about Christ! <br /><br />I'm totally encouraged that you took that time to discover what was at the heart of your precious daughter's request! What an incredible opportunity, this is in front of you! And, how very cool that you are not setting it in concrete, but you are seeking the Lord's guidance step by step!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024768053002787146.post-84595821605195157652012-02-21T11:07:16.908-06:002012-02-21T11:07:16.908-06:00I am currently a public school mommy, and totally ...I am currently a public school mommy, and totally agree with you that this is an amazing and special opportunity for you and your daughter.
