Today was the very first day of homeschool for "Vivi" and I. I was nervous about how it would go and if I was going to be left scratching my head wondering what to do next. I was nervous my daughter would get bored and want to go off and read or we would have arguments over tv as if she was home on vacation. Luckily we spend lots of time on prayer and in preparation before we took this new journey on. And to my very bright surprise our day was AMAZING! We spent a half our in the morning praying and reading our verses for today. We talked about some of the rules for today and we jumped right on into it. Throughout the day she did her work without a complaint and we got to discuss everything together. we broke up some chores through the day and she was beyond willing to do laundry, offered to do more than what was expected of her and had a wonderful attitude while working. Being able to pray before and after each task was such a blessing.
I was so happy that I was able to really lives out the benefits and blessing that homeschool has to offer. I got to interact and witness first hand when her eyes light up when we talk about a subject that she really enjoys. I got to hear her prayers out loud and spend a minute in awe after hearing what a wonder heart she has. I could not have expected such blessings from this opprtunity. I can not stop praising God for speaking to me clearly and giving me such blessing.
I know there will be days where I won't finish all the work and I will be beyond frustrated and tired and exhausted with the day but I thank God for sending me encouragement with such a wonderful first day!
