A journey begins with a single step~

I've always thought it was so hokey when people

would talk about a path in their life

was a JOURNEY...it sounded so cheeseball and I didn't get it.

But perhaps with age I'm understanding
all things cheeseball - as I get what *journey* means:

I've found it is something that no matter how hard you plan, 

*something* will come up and

will cause you to stop, question & either perservere or redirect.

It is rarely something that happens perfectly

each.and.every.time.

It has great moments, rough roads and

tends to begin with a single step of faith.

That is where we find ourselves:

Stepping in faith on this homeschool journey.

We have chatted with families we trust

who are on this journey - and have prayed about it - 

and now we are prepared to take our first

step and decide *what* our philosophy

for our school will be.

What is our "WHY" of education?

Our familiy believes that the primary responsibility for our

child{ren} is us: the parents.

We believe that the Bible is the center of our life

and is ultimately the center of our learning.

What is the PURPOSE of education?

In the workbook that we have that is asking such prompting questions,

"An Introduction to Home Education" [p.23, 12th ed.]

we agree with this statement:

"...the goal of Christian education is to cause the Christian person

to be growing in grace and knowledge of Christ,

pursuing godliness of character and action (2Tim 3:17)."

"Academics becomes secondary to the godly character

values, but we are nevertheless to gain dominion

over all academic disciplines in order to bring glory to God".

And so we have taken the first step.

Our journey has begun.
