Welcome!!

Welcome to my fab new blog! I don't know if it will be fab, but it's new!?!  I'm sit here and the rest of my family is fast asleep, as I enjoy a nice cup of hot tea and blog. 

I am a young 22 year old mother of two DS. My oldest is Jay and my youngest is Bee. They are so fun loving and free spirited. I really enjoy hanging out with them. Now a days I see that few parents really enjoy their children like our family does. The strange times we live in... 

"Arrows In The Hand Of A Warrior" Why such a blog name like this? Well... My calling in life has been and alway will be a MOTHER. One of my favorite passages in scripture is... "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5 As parents we need to be warriors fighting off evil away from our children. We need to raise our children up in mighty warriors and weapons for the Lord. An arrow can only go where a warrior points it. 

Well, let me tell you of how My Hubby and I got started on homeschooling. I first heard homeschooling from my friend. She informed me of a few things and never thought much about it. Then as I met more and more people and found that these people were not strange and socially inept like society leads us to believe. They were truely ordinary people that you meet and talk to everyday. I felt a tug inside myself to research some more, the more I found the more I enjoyed the idea of homeschooling. Now I was all for homeschooling and my Husband was not. He didn't want to create bubbled and socially challenge children, but he finally came to realize that he was wrong. (Look I was RIGHT! hehe) Now that we've made our decision we are waiting to OFICIALLY start homeschooling.

As I've been learning about homeschooling I've learned that it is more of a lifestyle rather than just teaching. It really does open the door to new oppertunities to learn at any and every moment in life. Daily routine life becomes academics, Cooking becomes chemestry science and math, Dinner becomes social interaction and ediquet. The world literaly becomes your classroom. 

I am excited to start our new journey in to what is new territory for my family. Who know what God has in store for us? We know that we are blessed beyond all measure and all this family wants to do is to magnify and glorify HIM. 

This is a Blog of my Christian walk as a Homeschooling Housewife. A young mother of 3 rambunctious boy, they are gifts from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5
