Finishing Strong

Today starts week 32 in our homeschooling year! Only 8 more to go and than on to finish planning for a 1st grader and pre-ker! WOW did I just say..... 1st grader! Almost 2 years of homeschooling down already. Thank you Lord for seeing us through this far!
The past few months have been a little bit of a hard time for me, the weather has started getting nicer and I'm sure like most teachers by this time of year it's difficult to stay focused on what we need to cover. Along with the weather being a distraction, we have had many appts. lately to keep us just as busy. Not to mention the normal everyday needs of a family have taken a toll on me.
Saturday night Matt and I decided we were actually going to sit down and watch a movie together, seems like something most people do at least a few times a week. Us on the other hand, we don't watch much TV and if we do it mostly with the children as a treat for them. The movie Matt picked out was called Indoctrination a film by Joaquin Fernandez and The Gunn Brothers.
God lead us to this movie by a EBay purchase for our Weaver Interlock pre-k curriculum. The wonderful woman we were blessed to purchase this curriculum from was Joaquin's wife, we got a chance to email each other about homeschooling and she shared about the movie and it's website with our family. After purchasing a Backstage Pass to help support the movie we honestly didn't think much about it, only had a chance to visit the website a few times. With the backstage pass we were also told when the movie came out we would receive a copy which we got last year sometime and have had on the shelf for months now waiting for a chance to watch it.
Again God always has perfect timing... Just in the middle of my dry season He delivered this amazing video to bring on the rain and grow a new understand and love for this calling in my life. I would completely recommend this movie to any Christian parents out there, it truly will change your heart and make you consider your schooling opinions.
Not only has this movie helped me grow it also has brought back a desire to do my best and give my whole self in training our children for the Lord. I am so thankful to the filmmakers for this DVD and thank you so much Monica for leading me to this website and sharing your love for homeschooling with our family! God Bless your family!
Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
