I’ve been re-assessing my life a lot these days…thinking about what really matters to me most, and what doesn’t.
I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of things just don’t matter. Things that are more materialistic, that is. I’ve never been much of a materialistic person. There are times, though, that I’ve struggled with longing to have the things that others do- mostly close friends. That’s when greed steps in and I have to watch my “daily diet” to make sure that my spiritual food is healthy: good doses of gratefulness and self control.
Lately I’ve been wondering if private school would have been a better option for BigGirl.
Very quickly, though, I was reminded of how blessed BigGirl and I are to have this opportunity to homeschool. All of the nostalgia for “regular” school quickly dissipated and I put aside our plans to visit more private schools (after having toured several a few weeks ago).
At that point I totally and whole heartedly embraced our homeschool with a passion like never before.
Our home has become (and is becoming a daily) a haven of peace and the environment specifically tailored toward the absorption of learning through liberal arts in a Christian atmosphere. I love it. BigGirl loves it.
So this is what works for us today. And we’re happy.
