I am revisiting my surrendering days, goodness only knows why I left them...well of course self is the reason, my self seeking self that tries to no end to tear me away from enjoying my boys, and trusting that learning happens as we live and laugh.
My schooling mind that creeps in just when I thought I was taming it, society that says children should be doing this and that.
Abiding in Him is the only answer and I'm again reminded that our homeschooling journey is one of walking by faith.
I admit I am a slow learner...when I impose my plans of learning on the boys it usually ends up pear shaped, but when I relax and wait and enjoy and take my hands off the results are astounding!
If you told me I'd be walking this journey this way I would never have believed it, in fact I never would have signed up for it! Praise God, he has better ideas for us, and ever though this is painful at times I can see tiny growth in me and I love Him for it!
So this day we popped popcorn and headed out into the garden to sit in our newly erected hammock (thanks daddy) and cuddled, talked, laughed and enjoyed each other...too precious!

Great to see you stopping and enjoying the journey. It's hard sometimes to forget about what 'school' thinks you should be doing and listening to what God wants us to do but the rewards are fantastic. You are doing a great job.
Thanks Mel, know you know what I'm on about...you're a few years down the track, so wiser! x
yo yo yo, you're the chick, you rock! No wonder my boys are so lovely! Love Joey xx
