    First I have to say sorry for this reply not being placed where you were speaking abut homeschooling. I totally understand your moments/days when things are so frustrating. I don’t belittle any of that BUT just as you have expressed in your blog, continue to place more emphasis on the fantastic benefits of being able to value, affirm, and nurture your children 100% of the time. As parents we all make mistakes; we pray that our children will make room for forgiveness and letting go. As your parent there are many things I wish I could do over and be more intentional about. This would include homeschooling the three of you. Unfortunately we don’t get to do life over. Yesterday is gone and all we can do is learn and move on. Tomorrow is not here yet. As I write this, I am reminded of Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. But today is a new day!!! A dear friend of mine at church shared a prayer written by Hartsill Wilson: Dear God, this is the beginning of a new day. You have given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or I can use it for good, but what I do today is important because I’m exchanging a whole day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. I want it to be gain, not loss, good, not evil; success, not failure; so that I shall never regret the price that I paid for it. Heidi you will not regret this time in your life that you are pouring into Chloe, Jayden, and Ava. As your mother I can’t help but pray that at some point the Holy Spirit will change your heart; bringing to your rememberence all that you were taught so that this too can be poured into their lives.

    Heidi, I just want you to know how much I love you ,and how grateful I am to have your family in my life. Your children are so beloved by us! I adore all 3 of them, and wish we saw more of you. Chloe is an amazing young woman and such a good friend to my daughter. Jayden is a loving bundle of fun and good friend to Jude, and Ava just makes me laugh out loud and want to squeeze her! I can’t wait till she and Lucy ar past the “parallel” play age 🙂
