We began homeschooling our oldest kids in 1987..I think?! and they are all grown up long ago, but we have a second 'batch' and the youngest is just six. There are days when another 12 years of homeschooling looks very long indeed! But, on the other hand, I wouldn't hand it over to anyone else!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798124104168438303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566457272589281657.post-61236396374146985542008-04-22T17:46:00.000-04:002008-04-22T17:46:00.000-04:00Wow!

My kids are still itty bitty but I already feel God calling me to write more.Mrs.Naz@BecomingMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425021902893463197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566457272589281657.post-69068582964969301212008-04-22T13:28:00.000-04:002008-04-22T13:28:00.000-04:00Oh how well I can identify with this post!

I felt like I was really going against the flow but that was what my husband and I felt the Lord was asking us to do. Within three years I was teaching all of our children.....kindergarten, 2nd grand and 3rd grade......and continued teaching them until they all graduated from high school. When they were all in school and we were working so hard every day I used to wonder if I would ever achieve the "goal" of graduation! Well, that seems like such a long time ago now! My youngest graduated from homeschool ten years ago next month! Since then I have, as you hope to do, done quite a bit of writing and also have had the time to do some volunteer work. We all have seasons in our lives. Enjoy this one! It will be gone all too soon!<BR/><BR/>God bless you!<BR/>Marilyn in MSMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.com
