Thanks for making your keynote speech in Illinois available on line.
I am a mother of 2 and will begin home-schooling this fall (2009). While I feel called to home school, I’m scared (background, my daughter is currently in public school in 2nd grade, my son is 4). Your speech addressed so many of my concerns. I’m so grateful to you for your authenticity and peek into your journey.

I’m listening now to your discipleship talk. Thank you for sharing an encouraging and necessary reminder. I had the privilege of talking with you at a homeschool conference in Kansas City the last two years. Your heart for the Lord and willingness to serve the homeschool community is a tremendous blessing. Thank you!
My son has been using Math-U-See for two years and my daughter will be starting next year. We especially like the fact that he can watch the video and usually understand the concepts without me.

You have reminded me of many truths. My children are 23 and 25 and are homeschool graduates. It was a joy raising them in the ways of the Lord and to see them as adults serving Him. I

t has been a long time since I heard you speak and I am reminded of the heart of the home. Educating our children is a way of life and not just curriculum. I remember hearing you say years ago that the family that stays together stays together and it is so true, especially when you speak of your own family. I needed to be hear you speak this message. It is not just about the children; it is about the husband and wife. The family is God’s design. Is it no wonder we call Him, Father, and he calls us His children?

Again, this was an outstanding message. Thanks for letting us see it on your website. I will tell others about it because they will be blessed by your words.

Your family’s fan in Arizona,
Socorro

Through my tears I am typing my comment of how much your message means to me and will mean to my family. We have had so many struggles in the past 2 years and I have recently asked God to reveal to me things about my family that I have not been able to see, and you what? He has – especially recently. So much so I’d like Him to slow down, let me catch up.

We’ve homeschooled for the last 10 yrs our three boys, one of which is beginning a drug rehab Monday (7/27) I wasn’t aware of his problems until recently. We were suspectful, but not revealed completely to it.

You see, he was allowed to go to public school for his junior year and he wasn’t home. His addiction is not entirely because of not being home, but it certainly didn’t help.
My husband and I have talked so many time about bringing him home and I just could not see how “I” would be able to handle it, him, and our younger son – who is torned up by all of this.

I know God is using you to reach me and I will follow His plan. This year he will be home with me and his younger brother. Thank you for helping me make this decision.

Please look into Ancient Hebrew. Do the research. Please.
With Love in Him.

I ended up at this video, I feel through the guidance of my Merciful Master, after waking in early hours of the morning, praying about not “knowing how to be a good mother but for help to hear and do, from my Master,the One who created me and loves me so that I could be the mother he called me to be. He is Good in all things.
As I watched this video. I heard some truth that was taught to this man. I knew that was Love from my Master. He loves me by bringing me truth.
I heard His voice tell me to Love in return. Thus the words I typed were what I felt to share. He knows why. As a good servant I should not question my Master. He loves me. He is a kind and merciful Father. Due all trust. So I am to hear and do.
He is Awesome. I am only learning. I fall short, much. But, I have the Supreme Teacher. What a journey!
Shalom,
Jenice
