A Much Prayed through Decision

As we continue this new journey, a much prayed through decision; it really hurts my heart that it can create so much division. The questions and the doubts continue to roll in. To explain and defend our decision, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll start with first things first, and that is obedience to God. Raising and educating my children at home shouldn’t sound so odd. The questions are all the same, ones of matters so trivial and so small. These questions, I want to tell you, are not significant in the long term at all. Won’t my children be very unsocialized and weird? A very common question and also one that I once feared. Is the education good enough, will they learn what they learn at school; no they won’t, and that’s the point, my child will be no fool. What will you do about sports, where will they go? Not that sports are a priority, but I’m sure you’ve heard of Tim Tebow. This journey won’t be easy, but God has set my priorities straight; to not obey his will is not up for debate. I’m confident that my children will have everything they need; they’ll be well equipped, in life they will succeed. And although their academics will not be a question; my goal for my children is not Harvard, our ultimate goal is Heaven. We’re so thankful for the friends and community who have supported us thus far; I do not have to mention names because you know who you are . This decision was not made lightly, and not one to belittle, and I’m so thankful that our God remains a God of the middle.
