still alive. I have my head buried in books...just to be sure that I am actually smarter than a 5th 6th grader. (No comments in this regard please!) Anyway, just thought I'd poke my head out of one of them and say hi. Sunday night I was feeling very overwhelmed and under-prepared for the responsibilities of this year. There were so many reasons NOT to homeschool this year not the least of which is that my health has a history of being tenuous and the boys have a great Christian school to attend. But over the summer David and I became convinced (separately) that this was God's plan for our family for this season. I am scared. Petrified, actually. But when I filtered out all of the things that really frighten me about taking on a challenge such as this, I realize that what scares me the most are the things that I cannot control (i.e. health). It would be easy for me to focus on how inadequate I am. But just recently I was reminded of the Widow's Mite from Luke's
