First, I wanted to say to Bobby, just how much I appreciated your words...
"I will not knowingly send my family whom God has given me to lead into a house of a known murderer and deceiver. I cannot express strongly enough... even if I used ALL CAPS how adamant I am on this subject. I think often of how blessed I am... I tell my wife all the time... "what are the odds?"... such as I am, God chose to pull me out of that evil... I am very grateful.
Bobby"
And in light of those words, to FedEx Guy....
I have homeschooled my children now for 5 years because not only did I find poison in the public schools, but I actually taught in a Christian school and I saw the danger there as well. Now this was LONG before I knew these wonderful truths. The danger I saw there then was that teachers and peers become the child's authority. Nothing the parents could say would have overturned what I taught them. I personally took that seriously and watched what I said to them. But, people of good intentions could undo what God has put into you to put into them.
But now, knowing what I know, how can I send my children into a place where their peers and their teachers will FOR SURE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, take number one place in where they get their lifes lessons? How can I allow them to be indocrinated with lies from Satan for most of their day, 5-6 days a week?
My children are still young, but let me tell you this. My husband and I are the ONLY people my children look to for truth. THIS is why we have left our church as well. I don't wish to spend my days UNTEACHING the heresy taught to them there.
Will this be hard? It is VERY hard.
We sacrifice a lot for me to be home. My husband has been on disability now for 4 years but I STAY home to do this. We don't take vacations or have all the extras others have but God is good and faithful to us for protecting His children.
And I have such a wonderful, happy family! My kids actually like us and love to spend time with us! What a blessing in this life to have a happy family!
Homeschooling is so easy. It really is. There is SO much to choose from out there and you don't have to be a "teacher" to do this. Teaching your children is a God-Given gift and responsibility. You can buy curriculum that literally spoon feeds the teacher!
Anyway, I hope this was an encouragement to anyone out there who is questioning what to do. If any of you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Blessings, Lin
