What a fun day enjoying our friends at their Classical Conversations Mock Trial.

📚It has been a great year at @la_college 📚 Thomas is ending the school year with nine hours of (online dual-enrollment) college credit and four classes that have enriched his learning and personal development: weight training (1), public speaking (3), nutrition (2), and community health (3). 📚 As I look around this campus I sometimes wonder how someone who absolutely LOVES the institution of school and learning in all its forms and functions has chosen the path of home education. On the one hand it feels like I’m denying my kids something that I have always loved—yet on the other hand, Ive felt God literally calling and asking me to be obedient to the task of homeschooling. 📚 Every year Ryan and I pray and seek the Lord for the best educational fit for our kids and our unique circumstances for that year. And every year (so far), I’ve felt a confirmation to keep going on our current path. 📚 I never dreamed we would be finishing up our SEVENTH year—I sure didn’t think I had it in me. Even so—God has proven himself faithful to give all of us just what we need and then some. The days aren’t always easy, the school down the street (in whatever state we are living in) usually has some appeal to me, and I certainly don’t wake up each day ready to twirl around in my denim jumper. (At least not until I’ve had my coffee!) But reflecting on it all—all of the fun, the many joys of learning, our engagement with the world and opportunities around us, and the growth I’ve witnessed in is all is something I would NEVER EVER trade. 📚

#12daysofbookstagram and today’s prompt is #morethanjustbooks 📚 and I’d have to agree...these aren’t just books they are a collection of well-worn volumes that are the wayposts of our lives... 📚 Books on marriage, parenting, books on knowing Jesus and making him known, books read in silence, and books shared on the couch—reading together... 📚 No matter the size or shape of our home, I’ll always keep our books within reach... 📚

When you take a family sabbath and everyone sits at the table, ready for Dad to share from the Word and @santees_hammerin_hank decides he wants in on the devo too... 🐶❤️ ✝️

#12daysofbookstagram #bookstack and I have three: table where I read my Bible, office, and bedside...📚

Love this time of year when we start FINISHING our curriculum. As our subjects become fewer our school day becomes shorter—and that can only mean one thing: SUMMER’S COMING!

Stayed go late starting this one last night. #12daysofbookstagram 📚
