To build a family is to change a generation

What does that mean exactly? Have you ever watched some one build a house? The more time, detail and love the builder puts into the home, the more it can with stand. When he just hastily slops some walls up, slaps some shingles on, the more likely it is going to fall apart.

The more time, detail and love you put into a family the longer it will stand and change the way your children view family and life.

To many choices

    Ahhhhh! It is catalog season for curriculum's. Oh the pain of it all. Well if you home school your either like whats the big deal or I know right.  If you can not understand just laugh at it all. You see for the last five years, right now, every time, this time of year, I am overwhelmed with choices.  Oh the choices, if only you knew.  It is not even that I dislike what we used this year, in fact I love most of it.  The problem is all of the catalogs make me want to try something new and different.  I mean they all look so good, why not change again?  Why can I not just stick to what we love?  Everything is so enticing.  Last year I changed what I was using with the little guy and gal and ended up buying a second curriculum because it just didn't click with them.  I ended up using the same publisher as last year.  My oldest she just goes with the flow, the poor thing is my guinea pig.  I know what I am not going to change for next year but what about what I want  to change. Here is the kicker I thought I had everything picked out since January, now with the help of stickin' catalogs I don't know anymore.  
    Last year I chose not to pray about my decisions.  That is a very bad choice, so this year, I have already started to pray, it is a toss up.  Here is my big dilemma I do not want to fail God or my children as we educate them at home.  We as parents want them to be able to compete with their peers and succeed.  Mostly though I want an instant God with an instant answer, but I know that is not how He works.  Sigh oh the waiting and looking, could kill a girl.
