. . . felt that something you are undertaking is absolutely going to kill you? I have. In fact, I DO! Homeschooling one child with my learning style was, in hind sight, a piece of cake. Homeschooling two children, one with my learning style and one with a totally opposite learning style but at least a desire to learn was doable but challenging. Homeschooling three children, all unique with a demanding 2 1/2 year old on my heels is going to flat out kill me.
I have a little hope because I know Jesus loves me and is merciful. Other than that, my first day has only given me a mountain of dread. I'd be jumping for joy excited if I had hours on end for each one individually. I really do love teaching them. But trying to fit it all together and teach 3 different kids, 3 different ages, 3 different curriculums. . . . not so excited.
There are solutions and I know I will get in a groove sooner or later, combining subjects for the kids for lessons that are universal. And the positive is that they will have supplemental classes at our charter school on Tuesdays and Thursdays giving me a breather and focused time with Ella. In a month I hope to be updating you on our progress and joys of the first weeks of school! But right now, all I can think is, "I'm not so sure this experience will be taking me further up and further in. . . maybe farther down and deeper under. . . no, but for the grace of God, I will survive, thrive, ENJOY this year! Pray for me please?!

Hey there! I was praying for you today, and believing that you were surprised by what a great day it was! Oh, I am living where you are living, without a 2 1/2 year old under foot! It is a joy and a challenge to meet everyone's needs. Keep your eyes on HIM!
Sister, you are called and ANOINTED to raise up and prepare *these* arrows for the service of the kingdom....no worries. I will be praying for His faithful provision for you.
