Did I make a mistake???

 We have been doing school for a month now and starting to get into the grove of things. Met with my education specialist and I think I am going to like her, even though she is tough. She will keep me on track and target with the kids' education. 

I struggle all the time with.. am I teaching them enough? Am I really doing what is right for them? Where can I improve and what do I not need to do?  All questions I ask myself every day. I know my kids need to improve on certain things, but what is the best way to do this? I am forever reading books about home school and organizing. I also try the things I have read about and put them to use. Try it for 2 weeks and if it is not working... move on and try something else.

What I am trying to say is... EVERYONE ... Yes everyone has fears about trying or doing something they have never done before. But don't let your fears take over and stop you from doing it. For the thing you are hesitant on just might change your life... and for the better. Think back to a time in your life that has made the most impact... what decisions did you make? What would be different if you had made a different decision? Now, not every decision is going to lead to glorious results... but don't be afraid of the negative.

I love that I have my children here everyday. I know for a fact that me bringing them home to teach them was the right thing to do. I know I still question myself, but I don't think we as a family would be in a good place if we had not decided to bring them home. Some people might say I am sheltering my children... what is wrong with that? My kids know about all the struggles and the peer pressure out there. They do have friends, they do socialize with others... and if you were to ask ANY of my children "would you like to go back to regular school?" ... they would answer you with a big fat "NO".My fear is .... I don't want my children to grow up and be a burden on society. I want them to be upstanding, respectable, knowledgeable, and men and women of God.  I know that with the decision to bring them home, we are one step closer to making them those people. It might get very tough some days... but TOTALLY worth it.
