I am so encouraged about how this year is going, already! 
I was a little nervous about how it was all going to work doing three guides (RTR, Preparing, and Bigger) while doing a homemade program for my youngest two. (The homemade program is basically taking a year for the littler two to work on reading and math skills with a little CM style learning in there for history and science. No worries, they'll both be in HOD next year!)I can't even say what a huge blessing it was to pick up our guides and get to it! The kids had such great attitudes about starting school and did so well with everything. They really enjoyed the lessons today and God opened the door for many great opportunities to share Him and His love! I'm so glad that my children can have fun and enjoy learning! I realized today, again, how so much of our schooling is geared toward learning what they need to know for a great education, but also learning more and more of Who God is and learning to see Him and His Hand in their lives! All of our subjects point to Him!
I pray that God continues to bless this company and the Austin family for graciously giving of their time and talents to bless others! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!
And for helping us to educate our kids for His glory!
