I encourage each and every mom to continue to look up and keep trusting God in your homeschool adventure and although they may mean well, politely ignore the "well meaning" nay sayers. Remember, it is God that is who we are accountable to and the one who carries us through each and every day. I hope everyone has a blessed school year.Shelleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-14300477826055586902015-02-04T19:28:06.128-08:002015-02-04T19:28:06.128-08:00Thank you so much for the encouragement, Rachel!

Now, we even have a child in school who just couldn't cope at home because of a severe mental health problem. I am not sure school is the right place for her either, but it was obvious that homeschool did not have all of the services that she needed.<br />Blessings, DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057391963143545942noreply@blogger.com
