Hello All, Grace and Peace be unto you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
I have been homeschooling my daughter for three years using the A BEKA curriculum. A BEKA is a Christian school based in Pensacola, Fl. I really love it! They have the daily agenda, all the books, tests and quizzes, and everything a person will need for the entire school year.
My daughter is in the 9th grade now, and she is doing an awesome job! She went from D's and F's in the public school, to A's, B's and C's homeschooling. She really loves it!
My son (8 years old and in the 3rd grade) is joining us this year for the first time. He really wanted to be home-schooled, and has begged me for two years, but I could not until this year. Brandon, after begging me, has decided he wants to go back to public school(WHAT????)... Ummm...because mom keeps him on task ALL day...LOL! In the public school there is not a whole lot of one-on-one time with the kids, but at home, it is a different story. I do not think he likes me right there all day, but as he gets used to this curriculum, I will not have to be right there all the time. I know it will get better for him. It did with my daughter.
He has Bible class first, then Arithmetic, Language, Spelling, Penmanship, Reading and Science. Then we have Art every week too! There is sooooo much to this curriculum, so I hope he will come to like it. He is doing so well with it, except to voice that it is too fast paced.
I have a schedule and we must stick to it! I even put in Recess for him twice a day. We have a park outside our back door and an activity center with a basketball court to take them for some Gym time.
Well, I think it is going really well so far. I have a video of Brandon answering some questions. He did VERY well! It put a smile on mommy's face.
I know as the year progresses, he will progress forward in his academics, and make mom and dad very happy!
May GOD give every home-schooling parent the strength to get through each day with the kids. It is not always going to be fun, or easy, but in the end it will be worth it.
GOD bless you all!
Here is Brandon...

Hello All, Grace and Peace be unto you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
When man sinned in the garden
That sin Jehovah could not condone
The blood shed of animals
Could not forever sin atone
Verse 2:
But the Son had compassion
He said Father I'll be your Lamb
So once again blood was shed
As the soldiers nailed His hands
Verse 3:
It's been three days since Heaven
Watched their Prince of Glory die
His followers are in mourning
For in the tomb their Savoiur lies
Verse 4:
But at the grave something is happening
As death screams I've lost my hold
Angels rise in anticipation
For the Son is coming home
Chorus:
And there He comes
And He's got the blood
That He shed on Calvary
And the Father says
Well done my Son
This is the last blood I'll ever need
(Repeat Chorus)

Hello All, Grace and Peace be unto you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
I am in Awe at how GOD loves people no matter what, and I want to imitate that love, but it is hard because...well...I am not GOD, so I pray this prayer...
LORD, please help me to see people the way YOU see people, and help me love people the way YOU love people. Help me see YOUR potential in them instead of what satan has done to them and through them. I just want to love! In JESUS name, Amen!
When I heard this song, it reminded me of my prayer! I love it! It is my hearts cry in a song to GOD. Thank you GOD for laying this on Brandon Heath's heart to write. I sing this song back to YOU!
My hope is that we would all become imitators of GOD's love! GOD bless you!
Here is the song by Brandon Heath- Give Me Your Eyes
