As my week goes on, I have been so filled with the Spirit of God, and I am glad He has my back all the time.
He is the same God on the mountain tops with me, and He is the same God in the valleys with me.
Have a blessed day! |

When it rains it pours.............

How many times have you heard that said? We are literally having a very rainy day in NC. And I am so busy with my business that I feel like God is just raining His blessings down on me.
And there are always those little "things" that happen all at one time. For me, I was expecting an order to come in today, so I could fill some orders. Somehow my order ended up in another state. So, that means I will be playing catch up when those books arrive!
And I am also having good things happen and not-so-good things, too. And it is just a part of my life right now.
For now, I am praising God for the rain showers and showers of blessings. How about you?
Have a blessed day!Labels: homeschooling |

Would you like to know how well I know that little tidbit about the calendar? I have been quite busy sending materials out to homeschool families across the country and across the world. The past two weeks have been a blur for me.
And if you read my last post from past week, you know that I was not happy about an editorial in a local newspaper. That led to a letter to the editor from me, and that led to some backlash online.
Then, I got another dose of reality from family over the week-end. It seems that some of our family has not accepted our decision to homeschool. It is been 8 years since we started homeschooling. It breaks my heart that they view us in such a negative way. But God keeps showing me through this adversity that He is in control, and I am praying by name for those who seek to persecute me and my family.
Something positive did come from my letter to the editor. Homeschool Buzz picked up on it, and they linked to it from their homepage. I am quite in awe of that.
The rest of my week will be busy as I work hard on sending out orders. I want everyone to have
their books as soon as possible.
Have a blessed day!Labels: homeschooling |

Help a fellow homeschool mom
|
|
I have a dear friend who is a homeschool mom. She is a widow raising her 3 daughters on her own. She recently became very ill and was rushed to the emergency room. She was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Some of her homeschool friends are holding a fundraiser for her. Not only is she a single mom, she has no health insurance.
Here is the link to the funraiser:

Homeschooling in the fine state of NC

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, how do I start this post? For starters, I am livid that this was printed by my local newspaper.
I was a bit behind last week, so I did not read our daily, local newspaper until Sunday. I went through the whole week's worth of articles, and I saw a great article about our local homeschool conference that was held this last Saturday. (http://www.lovetolearnconference.com/)
However, in another edition of the newspaper, there was a terrible guest column that originated from McDowell County (Marion). I have a link for it online, and I think you all might want to comment and blog about it.
Here's the link:

I sent a letter to the regular columnist and the editor of the newspaper. I was so unhappy to read such a negative piece. And the only comment online was from the regular columnist who liked the article. UGH!! Of course, I left a comment this evening.Labels: homeschooling |
