I.m the one who feels like crying now!!
Yes, that Scripture does run the way I view my walk before the Lord as a mother. I knew in my heart that He was leading me to educate my child, and if fruit is any indication....well...the blessings abound.
I am very grateful for those brave trail blazers that paved the way for me, making the transition from outside schooling to homeschooling an easy one. I have not had to pay a high price to reap the benefits.
At this time, I am also very grateful for the fact that although I split my year between California and Florida, it is the latter where I hold my legal residence. Imagine our delight as a couple of weeks ago, our governor announced that this will be the second year that March 30th to APril 5th is designated as Home Education Week:

I realize that I have been very blessed, and I hope that neither my daughter nor I will in any way take for granted the freedoms that we have.
BTW, one thing I've observed, dearest Donna, a lot of interesting things happen around your neck of the woods!! ~♥~
