Discipleship Class: "The Story Formed Life"

So...I wanted to invite anyone who reads this blog and is interested in finding out what it means to be a radical disciple of Jesus Christ to come to my house on March 5 for an informational dinner about what this class is all about. If you are interested or have any other questions email me and I'll send you our address.

This is a class that both Ben and I went out to Kentucky to take with our family for 9 weeks about 5 months ago. Most of the content will probably not be new to you but we found that the methods were really quite effective in helping to transform people that are interested in becoming radical disciples of Christ. There is quite a bit of dialogue and discussion with the intention of digging into Scripture and our own beliefs as opposed to just lecturing or answering form questions. The class takes 9 weeks and will start off with an informational dinner. At the dinner we will explain everything about the class and answer any questions that may arise. There is no cost for the dinner or any course materials. Thanks for reading this. It's something that we're pretty excited about doing with anyone that can make it. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me and we would love to see you there.

Adventures in Homeschooling

So this whole homeschooling thing is really throwing me. It has been really challenging for me. I already knew this but this whole thing has really brought up the fact that I am so NOT confident in myself. I definitely know God is and will teach me so much through all of this but sometimes it hurts. So we are still in the process of piecing everything together but we are following the classical education method and are currently reading the book The Well Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer.

Very interesting and good stuff. I find myself getting a bit (ok who am i kidding?) a lot overwhelmed at times. I was on the phone today with Ben and told him what I was struggling with and that I find myself wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water. Because I'm thinking either I'm not doing enough or I'm not doing it right. So because that MIGHT be the case we should just put them back in public school cause at least we know they'll learn there. (Yeah, I know totally irrational, but there you have it) So I was telling Ben this and then in the midst of telling him I said "Even if I just work on reading and writing with them one hour a day that is still worth it and it will still work, right?" and he said "Yeah, you're doing a great job, Kami. Keep it up." It was crazy but that was all I needed to hear and I felt better about things. Man, I might need to hear that everyday for awhile, though before I get it through my thick skull.

Gotta love growth!
