It's been a couple months, and I know I've sent people here to watch our progress. Sorry, it's been quite crazy.
I now have 12 college credits, YEAH!!!!! I'm in the second week of my second English class. Its a tougher one. I'm totally sicked up for my next class, World Religions. I can't wait. I've sort of taken an unschooling approach to my faith. I've always just followed the church I attend, and believe whatever they tell me is true and factually. Sort of relying on others wisdom. Sure questions have raised in my mind, but I pushed them down telling myself this was Satan trying to get in and feed me lies.
I have learned many new things, and feel my faith has grown tremendously in the past 10 months or so. One thing I have felt really lead to share with fellow believers, is the hypocrisy in celebrating Easter. I will provide another entry specifically for this, but I wanted to get it off of my chest while I'm thinking about it. And maybe encourage any of my readers to go unschool yourself on the teachings you have held so dear for so many years. Maybe you could provide some links or added info on this particular topic. Don't hold anything back.
My kids have been doing great. My 7 year old is developing a preschool lesson plan, and is co-teaching with me one day a week. My, almost, 9 year old who struggled so hard with Language and writing, is excelling beyond belief in her Language co-op class. She chose to take this class, and she's getting straight A's(for completed work anyway, there's some lower grades for stuff she hasn't finished, but I don't keep track of that). My little five year old is learning to read, basically on his own. He asks me to spell things, and if certain letters are in a particular word. He's finding rhymes and words that start with the same sound in everyday conversation. It's great! He impressed Dad a couple weeks ago, when he popped off three business names. We were driving an he says, "That's Belle Tire, Hey there's CVS Pharmacy, and Is that Big Boy?" It was great. Sure he's recognizing the symbols, but he knows the words as well.
I've also started writing over at helium.com they pay writers and have a marketplace where publishers come to purchase articles for upcoming publications. My mom referred me, and she's made over $500 in a little over a month. I haven't sold any articles as of yet, but I'm fine tuning my skill. I'd love it if my readers would check out some of my articles and reply here on what you think about them. http://www.helium.com/users/392522
Well, I guess that's all for now. I'll be back soon. Blessings to all.
