A brief update on our discernment about homeschooling :)

OK, so, as usual, I am supposed to be working but am blogging! LOL! :) So, I'll make this quick: God has been absolutely amazing at how He has been speaking to us lately, especially with regard to our discernment whether to continue homeschooling or not. Family members, friends, fellow homeschoolers, even complete strangers have contacted me and given me their own inputs, thoughts, suggestions, shows of support and prayers - and I am deeply humbled and grateful! THANK GOD for all of you! :)

I've also received amazing links to posts and articles that have been greatly encouraging, including these:
Daily Focus - Totally Discouraged
I Want To Give Up - But I Won't (Fellow ROCKERs mom Racquel posted about this too, on her blog here).
Before You Say 'I Quit!'
For When You Want To Quit

And, my all-time favorite now:
Help! My 5-Year-Old Won't "Do" School! {I can SO relate to this one! LOL!)

I like this article too:
What Medical Education Can Learn From Homeschooling {since I have a medicine-related degree too, i.e. a Bachelor of Science degree in physical therapy, which was supposed to be my pre-med course at the University of the Philippines. After graduating from UP though, God called me to be a fulltime missionary instead, and now, a writer. Go figure! I wonder what would have happened to me if I had been homeschooled!}

Anyway, I said this would be a brief update. So, the bottomline is this: we're still discerning. (Yes, even after all your helpful and touching comments, calls, messages! And attending the HAPI Media Launch at Expo Kid 4 last Saturday!) I'll post about Tim's assessment at Cradle of Joy soon, probably after his assessment at Brainworks next week, to save time. :)

Having said all that though.. you can probably guess which direction we are more or less leaning towards! ;) Do keep praying for and with us, and thank you so much for your love, support and prayers!
