In the past year I have prayed, researched, read and seeked the counsel of many wise woman in order to make the large decision about education. I have felt since early on in Cahill's life that God was calling me to homeschool my children and the more i researched the more I felt the nudging. I then started praying for mentors to direct and guide me through all of this and boy did God deliver. So even though I still feel like a pioneer I am armed with some knowledge. But as with everything in life I need to trust that God will guide me along and bring guidance when needed. I need to remember when i feel exhausted and overwhelmed to kneel down and give it to God. ( still learning this) So I finally decided on a curriculum for the first two years and will go from there into a more literature based curriculum. After much apprehension and every fear in the book I sat down with Cahill and we did our first day of schooling. She knocked my socks off and was extremely excited and has been so thirsty to learn more. She has had good focus and it seems as if her mind just opened up. On top of homeschooling Cahill attends AWANA and we just joined the TEACH co-op where once a week Cahill goes to a music class and then 2 hours of preschool. She is thriving and I could not be more happy that I trusted God to lead me where he wanted me to go. Here are some great pictures of her first day at school and AWANA. (oh and some pictures of what she has been learning for the 7 days of creation).. Oh and one more thing that I am so excited about .. we have been studying creation and she has been connecting the things she learns with AWANA, sunday school and her education.. how exciting is that?
