I remember so well when I went from homeschooling two kids to three kids. It seemed like such an overwhelming leap. The day the books came I got dizzy and nauseous and went to bed!! LOL!! Now I am looking forward to going from homeschooling three to two and if I let myself, I'd cry an ocean of tears over it!!
There's such a mix of emotions. Part of me wants to start all over, maybe improve how I do it and definitely to enjoy it again with more *savor*. The other part of me feels at peace that it is *time* and also knowing that I really want to see what God does in the lives of my children. I want to see the rest of their story!
I am celebrating the completion of the most challenging task I have ever taken on, while mourning the loss of getting to spend 24/7 with one of my most favorite people on the planet, my firstborn son. Of course, I will still be his mom and he will still be my son. But change is definitely on the way.
Fortunately, going back and starting over isn't a possibility because I might succumb to the temptation. The only way to move is forward...for all of us... I pray I am good at it, gracious about it, joyful in it...
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14
