This is my first year homeschooling my 3 older children together as well as our first experience with HOD. I'll have to say that we have so thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum and the experiences we've gained this year with our children. There is one happening that I felt like I wanted to share. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we were schooling as usual. I was reading that day's Bible story, which was about the baptism of Jesus. (We are using LHFHG with the girls for K.) That story started my twin girls' minds turning that morning and they began asking questions about Jesus and His death and heaven and sin, etc. As the questions came, I was able to talk to Mary and Shannon about our need for Christ in our lives and each individual's need to make a decision to follow Him. That day, my girls stepped into a Heavenly relationship with Jesus and asked Him to be their Lord. Praying with them and being a part of that with them was the single most precious experience I have ever had as a mother, ouside of giving birth. My girls were born together, twice!
I can't begin to express my gratefulness and joy to you, Carrie and Julie, and your precious families. Your obedience and diligence in following God's heart in the creation of this curriculum is having such long-lasting results. My children made a kingdom choice because of your faithfulness, and I can only say thank you so much. Your treasure is surely expanding daily in the lives you are touching and the hearts you are touching in children and parents alike. I know I have been blessed.
I'm looking forward to your conference visit to Atlanta this July. My husband and I are going to make plans to come meet you and hug the necks of the people that have changed the lives of our family!
I will sleep well with thoughts on my mind including your precious child who has come into God's kingdom today!
