I got your link to your blog through Tamara. We just spent a year in a charter public school. It was small offered great teaching (it was classical), BUT!!!! OH MY> Let me encourage you. They will have issues with studying and obedience regardless if they are in school or not. You just have to deal with the issues from 4pm till betime, and with a large family it feels impossible to truly train a child in that amount of time between the homework extra activities a school expects. We are now back to teaching at home, and I am cherishing every moment. PRAISE GOD! I have those moments of frustration, but now I know the grass was not greener and I forfeited of our families vision of raising Godly children. SO, sister in Christ let me encourage you and pray with you that if God has called you teaching those babies then you will not walk alone! (by the way my oldest was the hardest with attitude and heart issues when it came to schooling) Stand strong and I know you are pregnant and remember these days will pass and all to quick they will be graduated! My God grant us all His grace and mercy for the task He has called us too. Mindy, I dont know if you remember me but we were at the Chapel right before you guys left.

On Tuesday night this child shared that there was fear concerning not being able to stop sinning. Jeremy was then able to share the Gospel. This is exactly why we need a Savior, because we can't stop sinning on our own!! The Lord helped our little one as he wrote James 4: 6 in his journal and read vs. 6-10. God is faithful! Please keep praying for us as we disciple our child and ask the Lord for His help for wisdom concerning consequences and truths to share. Love you all Wednesday was a much better day.

This is not a new behavior that comes out at the beginning of the year only, but a pattern. There was good fruit of repentance last night when Jeremy spent time with him around the topic. So, hopefully today I will (with the Lord's help) be able to point him back to that. New mercies every morning. Jenn,
