The first leg of my homeschool journey started as a student 35 years ago.
That first leg ended when I was 16, nearly 25 years ago.
Now as our own family, we start again.
The second leg started in 2013 when our daughter was 5.
11 years a student, 7 years a teacher. It's been an ever changing, ever developing process.
2 changes of curriculum, 5 different homes.
The teaching journey looks different than the student journey.
And it won't look the same in 5 years when we have 3 more children in school and our oldest is in 10 grade.
So many things were unplanned.
Never planned for a special needs child.
Never knew someone who was non verbal or with a limited ability to speak. Or limited motor skills.
Never knew we would have to create a wheel that works for him and the other 7 children.
So much we didn't expect.
I didn't anticipate I would be 40 and still not have a teenager.
Or that I would be 40 with 2 toddlers.
I didn't plan on many things.
But God did. Nothing about my life surprises Him.
And nothing about your life surprises Him either.
