[Homeschool]
Spring of 2026 marked the end of our second full year of schooling at home. I have been thinking about the past year, what we did well and what needs work.
Teaching doesn't end with the closing of text books, but it takes on a new meaning. Current learning revolves around spring farming, calving, water sports and baseball among so many other facets.
I find myself wondering, can winter and summer learning mesh more?
We have chosen 🏡 school for a variety of reasons and our children are involved in 4H and sports etc. They are very smart and learning at their own speed. It doesn't come without struggling sometimes. There is a huge sacrifice. It seems when the struggles abound the outside world says to throw in the towel, accept failure, get a job send your little people to the professionals at the public school. But the truth is, we want our children to excel beyond the system and to be leaders confident enough to be entrepreneurs. The public school isn't designed to guide in such a way. It has many positive aspects but many negative ones also. But it is 100% on the parents to be able to pick and choose for their offspring.
Some say, that isn't fair.
True. It's not. Life isn't fair.
Who ever said life is fair?
We take what we have been given and we do our very best with it.
At the end of my 20's, I was painfully single. No prospects. Nothing but the hustle to work and exercise enough to be the best most attractive version of myself.
I remember laying there looking at the ceiling talking to God asking if my genetics were going to go to waste. If he would ever bring a suitable companion to procreate with. Even then I deeply understood the importance of my bloodline.
It was probably another year or more before I met my future husband.
Now we have the most beautiful intelligent kind and caring answers to many many prayers.
Life isn't fair and struggle is guaranteed, but faithfulness will always prevail in every situation.
