"Take my moments and my days....let them flow in ceaseless praise"
Is it strange that my 11 year old son, 7 year old daughter, and 5 year old son love to watch The Joy of Painting???? And by love to watch, I mean sitting there, mesmerized, with drool rolling down their little chins! Ooohing and Ahhhing at every little stroke he adds. My 11 year old son has now requested that we set a series recording and my daughter even said “He is not human!”
Or is it even stranger that I am shocked by the fact that they would actually love to watch a show that is not animated or computerized …..and on Public Television!!! Who would have imagined that children in the year 2008 would think Bob Ross was the bomb?!?!?!

Call me crazy but I considered it to be a wonderful comforting sweet embrace from my heavenly Father that I am in fact doing right by my children. I am watching them evolve into such beautifully well-rounded children. Children that can appreciate the beauty in all that they see. Whether it be of their generation or of generations before theirs. That they are not held captive by the worlds standard of what is cool, accepted, or “in.” Four years ago when my oldest was in public school, I would have been told, “Mom, that is so lame” and it would not have even been his own opinion! Scary when I think back to it actually.
Thank you Father for sustaining me in this journey…..even when the waves crash around me, you calm the seas of my heart by showing me a glimpse of your beauty and your love of all things beautiful in my children.

God is so wonderful. What a blessing he gives us in bringing up our babies in our home that is under him.
Our children are different than public school children, and that is a blessing. Keep up the good work.
God Bless. mj

About Me
Five smooth stones, a giant defeated, and the most unlikely of warriors......isn't that just the wonderful way our amazing God works? I am the least likely of homeschoolers....I can still recall the days that I scoffed at the suggestions my friends would make that I too could do what they were doing. They were in my opinion....nuts!!! It is amazing how God can change our hearts without us even realizing it has been changed. And how He seems to just erase the mindset that held us hostage to our fears and doubts prior? I must be honest and tell you that homeschooling does not come as natural to me as it does for some. I stand on the battlefield daily fighting my "giants" that come to slay me and my joy and to rob me of this divine privilege I have been given. The battle against myself.... Fear, selfishness, distrust, pride, perfectionism, exhaustion, feelings of inadequacy, frustration, approval seeking...my giants come in many forms. I would be nothing if not for His grace and mercies made new everyday. When I am imperfect, He is gloriously perfect and I become the unlikely warrior.
