The night has been overcome with nerves! Ahhhh! School starts two weeks from tomorrow! I am nervous!!! About so many things...will I do right? What if I don't? Will I keep the right records? Is he going to be happy?...sooo many things! It's just that little bit of pesky doubt...I will not let the doubt win. God called me to school my children at home, and that is what I am going to do. I just doubt my abilities, somewhat...I don't want to just teach him to read and write, I want to light his fire! I want to build on his enthusiasm about education and learning. He is so passionate, inquisitive, thought provoked. He loves a good problem to solve, a subject to study. I don't want to let him down. I want him to get all that he can out of it.
I sat tonight and tried to get all of our calendar time stuff together! I have made a dozen list of things to do before the 19th! I think I will be somewhat relieved when school starts!! And my only deep desire is that he truly discovers that burning fire within, that he has, to learn new things!
"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire."
