....let's begin...


I am on a journey. And I believe that it is by Divine Providence that I have been given a gift. This gift is my daughter, Abbagael. I plan on allowing this blog to be a place where I can walk out some of this journey called parenthood and my present choice of homeschooling. If you are going to read this.....please understand that I'm not looking for agreement with my way of doing things....I'm on a journey. With everything I've been through to have this child (read the previous post "my dream come true"). I don't take lightly the role I have to play in loving this little girl right into her destiny (both in the here and now and in her future). Don't get me wrong. I completely believe that joy, tons of fun and profound happiness have everything to do with it. But I also know that if I (as a parent) don't proactively attune my heart and skills, I will clearly miss it. Everyday, is a learning experience. And if I can just do what God places in front of me each day in regard to my life, my heart, my marriage and my child then I can lay my head down each night in peace. I'm not talking about perfection, mind you, just placing my hand in God's hand and truly walking out the "great commandment". "Love the Lord your God with your heart, mind, soul and body....and love your neighbor as you love your self". That for me begins in my home.
