HomeGrown Children 

The greatest blessing I've ever known and experienced, though hectic, and challenging, with very little sleep, was when I was homeschooling. Dallas finished his 12 years in just nine, and when this picture was taken, he'd been accepted into a new School of Ministry. It didn't come without challenges. When he applied, there was a huge uproar when the school asked him for a GED in lieu of a "real diploma" and the super mega church where we were attending. In the end, he was accepted and, years later, was a media minister (combining both his passions) for close to ten years in a mega-church in Chicago when he married. I won't go on about all my children and their many accomplishments because this isn't about them or me.

My hope is that "for such a time as this," you simply open your heart and speak to your Husband, your maker, and ask Him if this is the Narrow Gate He wants you and your children to travel through. Then leave it to HIM to orchestrate everything!!
