Winds of Change
I feel the winds of change are blowing, and I’m not resisting. Hopefully I’ll be able to spread my wings and ride the current, trusting God all the way.
We’re looking into schools for all our children next year, and I’m feeling such a peace about it while in the pass I’ve been resistant, wanting to keep the control over my children’s education. Now I feel like it’s time to let them go (at least for next year) so our relationship can grow. Most of my homeschool focus has been on the older two, and my youngest really needs more of her mom around and my undivided attention. The kindergarten I’m praying she gets into is only 2 full days a week or three half days.
On the writing front, I’m receiving more and more validation that I’m on the right path. My anxiousness to publish has lifted from me, though my writing habits still need some fine tuning. Hopefully God will work this all out, and I will learn to balance all God has given me and enjoy everything.
So bring on the wind, let it blow. I’m ready.

The important thing is that you are following the Lord’s leading as you are seeking balance in your life, as it sounds like you are. One thing I learned when I homeschooled my kids was that my responsibility as a parent was not simply to be a home educator, but to direct the education of my children, and that may include another type of school.
On the writing path, I’m glad you are gaining peace. I know where you are coming from! I pray you find the “write” momentum on your writing journey. We are already blessed by your ministry!

This morning I blew off school for my first grader and preschooler, and we played soccer and jumped on the trampoline in the backyard. It was so freeing just to play with my kids. I know they’ve missed this side of their mommy.
I’m excited to have her back for the summer!
