Hi y'all! I hope life is treating you well! God is good! He reveals His goodness to me everyday! I would like to update you on my life...
In the past two years God has shown me things that never in my life would have I dreamed about! My entire life I have been in public school. Public school is all my family have ever known. My sister graduated from public school, and I went to public school for nine years when God really begin dealing with me. It wasn't until late 7th grade when I started dreading school everyday! It really begin in eighth grade. I had played jr. high basketball for two years starting on my third when I realized that it wasn't what I wanted to be doing. Basketball is all I've know. It was my favorite thing to do, and I still love it, but I wasn't putting my heart and soul on the court like I should. I knew I was letting my teammates down, and it was wrong. So needless to say I played one game and quit on my second. It was hard, because I knew when I quit I would probably never do it again. I went through my 8th grade year dreading school everyday, somedays literally crying because I didn't want to go. And obviously school is something you have to do. I would probably say the only things that got me through the year was God, family, and my love for music I had begin to form. All the things I loved most was outside of school, I knew I wanted to focus more on my love for the piano.
I begin praying that God would show me something, another way to go to school that I felt would be more enjoyable. I prayed that God would show me where I needed to be in my life. At first I thought maybe a Christian school, but there really isn't any close to my house. God soon begin revealing something else to me, something maybe a little crazy to some people and that was to be homeschooled, and I knew it was right as soon as He started revealing it to me. I knew that's what I wanted to do. It was going to intell several obstacles, but I just knew it was right. I told my parents I wanted to be homeschooled and at first they didn't really know about it. They told me they would think about it and pray about it. So for several months that's what my family did...pray about it. After months and months of praying, my parents made the decision to homeschool me. We talked to many who was homeschooling or who had, and they all seemed to have great opinions on it and advice! We joined the local homeschool group. The group does activities, has a graduation, and many fun things! I'm in about my seventh week of homeschool, and I couldn't imagine my life any different! There are those people who are like, "Homeschool? Why?" And while they're saying it are looking at you with a weird face. But at te end of the day the only persons opinion on where you should be in life is Gods. His opinion is the best anyone could give you, you should ALWAYS take His opinion. I couldn't be happier with where God has taken me! There are some awesome things about being homeschooled, like being at home everyday, having more time to do the things you love most, and just having more time to spend with your family! It's awesome! I love it! Yes, I know there will be many ups and downs in this journey but with God I'm believing I'm gonna make it! His goodness continues to amaze me everyday! I'm so excited for God to reveal to me everything he has planned for me in my future! I know whatever it is, it is gonna be amazing! For now I'm gonna focus on the present, and pray and dream about my future! God is good!
