YAY! I have finally decided!

Hi ladies! My name is Christy. I have posted a few times lately with some questions for you about homeschooling. I have been trying to decide for the past 6 months or so whether or not I was going to do it. I just wanted to say YAY! I have finally decided! We are definitely going to be a homeschooling family this next fall! My husband has really wanted me to do it, but he had left the decision up to me since I would be doing most of the work.
Last week, I was thinking about Mother's Day coming up. And, like every year since I have been a mother, I started thinking about how I can be a better one in the coming year. I just thought to myself "This is it! What are you waiting for? You know that God has led you to this, and He will be right there with you. And what better way is there than making this decision for them?" So, I told my husband on Saturday that I was definitely going to homeschool this fall. I am so excited and also nervous about it, but I know that this is God's will for us right now. And, He has given me peace about my decision. I told my husband that I was making the commitment for one year and then I would reevaluate again then. I am praying that we will always do it, but I will continue to seek the Lord and what His will is for us.
I already have my LHFHG package and we are going to be using it this fall for my daughter (who turns 6 in September) for kindergarten. I also have a 3 year old son who I'm sure will enjoy some of it with us. I plan on us starting the first week of August. We have a vacation coming up at the end of May, we will be spending a couple of weeks in June with VBS, and then I plan on taking July to get us organized.
I just wanted to say thanks so much to you all for all of your encouragement and good advice. You have really made me feel like we can do this and have joy in it. Please continue to pray for us as we prepare to start.
I hope that you all have a blessed evening!

I'm so excited to hear the good news! I remember praying for you back a month or two ago... I am rejoicing with you and your family today. I know the Lord has good things in store for you through HOD. I look forward to "seeing" you on the board, esp. once you start. Congratulations! 
), we wouldn't dream of doing anything different. In fact, the only thing I would have done differently from the beginning is use Heart of Dakota. We missed out on the earliest guides. I pray you will love LHFHG!
