Some of you know my craziness in the last year as what to do for school this year. For a few months I knew for sure we were going to home school, then I got pregnant. The idea of being pregnant, dealing with a crazy three year old and focusing on Morgan was WAY to overwhelming. These feelings led me to decide to send Morgan to our local school. I never felt peace about this decision, but felt that I just couldn't handle the idea of teaching at this time in my life. After we got back from vacation we went to the school to register her and as we took a tour of the school I just got the overwhelming feeling that this wasn't right. There are very few times in my life where I really feel God speaking to me, but this was one of them. I came home and told Ryan and he said well lets pray about it and decide in the next week what we are going to do. God kept me up most of the night with school very heavy on my heart. I really feel as though keeping her at home for this year is the way to go. I am only committing to one year at a time. Once I made the decision an overwhelming peace came over me and I knew that this was the right decision.
Here's to two days down and many more to go!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to talk to you about your week. You are a natural homeschooler because you are a parent. You've been teaching your kids since they were born and homeschooling is just an extension of that. You can do this!
Oh my goodness! I didn't know you had decided this once again! That is the exact same thing that happened to Ben & me! We came home from kindergarten open house and just heard God speaking to us to keep Gabby home....one year at a time, of course! And here we are, now going on our 8th year at home because it's been such a blessing! I hope and pray that it will be the same for you, or that God will speak clearly as to which direction you should be going each step of the way!
As I just commented on Leslie's blog, I will keep you in my prayers as well! You will do just fine!! I hope you will feel free to call me ANYTIME if you have any questions or just want to vent or need encouragement or something! In the immortal words of High School Musical, "We're all in this together!"
Way to listen to the Spirit, my friend.
Congratulations! That is so awesome! I've gone back and forth so much, until I realized, just what Leslie said, I've been teaching them all along!
Well, now I'm just adding a little homeschoolers prayer at the beginning of my day for all of us!
Kristan, you'll do a great job, I'm sure! What's nice is that you have many friends who can encourage you in this area ...
Way to go!
I'm glad to hear that you have a peace about it. When you have to make what seems like (and is!) a big decision, having a peace about it seems to be God's way of giving His "okay"; reassurance that you are doing the right thing.
Way to go, Kristan!
