We are about to begin another school year. It definitely feels like a new season. Andrew will be a sophomore and driving soon and Jacob and I will embark on our 4th year of homeschooling. 1/2 way through the year we will welcome our little one and l.o (Little one is our nickname for her/him at this time) become apart of our family.
Last night we attended a mandatory sports meeting for Andrews school. I am so thankful for his school. It is just an amazing place with amazing people that serve a awesome God and their goal is for the school, student and staff to bring glory to Him! I have to say they do an amazing job! It is hard to imagine we only have 3 more year there. It has been apart of our life so long.
Jacobs year is coming together! God is so good and we finally have things in place. We know that how we start out the year might have changes along the way. We are trying all news things year for anything we are apart of outside our home. That just feels right at this time and away we go!!! If something ends up not being a good fit we can make changes. I am excited to dip our foot into a few new things and see how it feels and fits for Jacob. It will be a busy week. However, I am looking forward to it. Last fall I remember feeling apart of me die because I had so much (too much) time on my hands and it felt like what really mattered to me didn't reflect in my time. So glad to have my son returning home.
Even as this l.o is still in mom I find myself thinking about his/her schooling. I have a huge heart for homeschooling. I love the life it gives you, the relationships it develops and the creativity educational you can have. I can see myself homeschooling this one especially in the younger years. However, I believe in looking at each child individually and seeking the Lord about what is the best match for them. Bethesda isn't for everyone but I would definitely consider it again if it was a good match for my child. It will be years before I have to think about that but what can I say....I am a planner at heart.
Being a planner is part of the bent God made me with however I have submitted to His ways (sometimes easily sometimes not) seeing that His ways are not my ways and He often has a route that I wouldn't choose. I trust His heart for me and my family.

first- I cannot believe the school year is already time to start for you. Then it makes me realize we only have two weeks left, ourselves!
Summer went by really fast this year!
Andrew is quickly growing into a young man you can be proud of and that is neat that you have seen a need for different paths for both children in their schooling.
You are the woman for the job on homeschooling Mr. Jacob. It will be another sweet time when little one comes into your world. Are you going to take a couple months break or a couple of weeks when babe comes along at that time?
What is nice is that it affords you flexibility!
I can't believe how fast time flies when your kids are in school. I am glad things are starting to fall into place...by the way you were glowing today! beautiful preggers!
